Inaugural artist: Theresa Wong.
Ctrl+Alt+Yellow, apexart
Ctrl+Alt+Yellow convened Bay Artist artists with Asian lineage who imagine alternative modes of existence. They employ radical modes of narration, exemplifying how communities can take charge of their own stories to re-construct their own understanding of the past, the realities of the present, and future possibilities. Curated through apexart (New York) and presented at B4BEL4B (Oakland). https://apexart.org/oh.php

From the museum: "When Alexander 'Sandy' Calder (1898–1976) arrived in Paris in 1926, he aspired to be a painter; when he left in 1933, he had evolved into the artist we know today: an international figure and defining force in 20th-century sculpture. In these seven years Calder's fluid, animating drawn line transformed from two dimensions to three, from ink and paint to wire, and his radical innovations included open form wire caricature portraits, a bestiary of wire animals, his beloved and critically important miniature Circus (1926–31), abstract and figurative sculptures, and his paradigm-shifting 'mobiles.'"
