ONCE UPON AN OTHER TIME
featuring Kristine Mays and Tanya Wilkinson
August 31- September 28, 2011
The Project Gallery at Arc
1246 Folsom Street
San Francisco, CA
PREVIEW NIGHT: September 8 6-8:30 pm
RECEPTION: September 10 4-7 pm
ARTIST TALK: September 23 6:30-8:30 pm
"Such stories... open a door on Other Time, and if we pass through, though only for a moment, we stand outside our own time, outside Time itself, maybe."
— J.R.R. Tolkien (On Fairy-Stories)
Fairy tales offer something to us all, opening the door to reflection upon our own reality yet from a fascinating place of storytelling. The imaginary worlds that open up with ‘once upon a time’ permeate our thoughts while at the same time offering us fragmented insights into the archetypal and personal myths that we wrestle with every day. Mixed media artist Tanya Wilkinson and sculptor Kristine Mays have created a pop-up exhibition inspired by classic tales that will take you on a journey to remember as they present work that wrestles with the practicality of life and the world of imagination.

"DOLLHOUSE"
December 4, 2010 - January 14, 2011
Arc Gallery
1246 Folsom St.
San Francisco, CA
with FEATURED ARTISTS: Richard Bolingbroke, Jan Brugger, Elizabeth Cayne, Taylor Crawley, Miles Epstein, Kat Flyn, Felicia Forte, Paul Gibson, Kevin Grady, Audrey Heller, Liesa Lietzke, Erin Malone, Stephani Martinez, Kristine Mays, Jessica McCoy, Kaitlin McSweeney, Beth Mullins, Camil...la Newhagen, Danielle O'Malley, Celena Peet, Archil Pichkhadze, Lucky Rapp, Anne Ross, Maja Ruznic, Tracy Sengillo, Kirsten Stolle, Yuriko Takata, Rusty Tea, Stephen C. Wagner, Linda Wallgren, Sharon Wickham, & Greg Wilson
and JUROR: Jack Fischer of Jack Fischer Gallery, 49 Geary St., San Francisco
Dolls are substitutes for humans, and are used in both childhood and adult play. A plastic doll, robot, sock monkey, paper doll, rag doll, nutcracker, marionette, soldier, voodoo effigy and blowup sex toy, they are all repositories of our fears, fantasies, and desires. We love them, we fear them; we cherish them, we tear them apart; we talk to them, they talk to us. We imbue them with our imaginary life and in return they transport us into their worlds. For the Holiday Season, Arc Gallery will be figuratively transformed into a giant dollhouse for one-of-a-kind dolls and dollhouses. Artists were invited to liberally interpret their concept of 'dolls' and 'dollhouses,' and bring to life a creature or world from their wildest imaginings.
JUROR'S STATEMENT: "I once heard someone say ' there is nothing funny about a clown after midnight.' I think the corollary in this case would be: ' there is nothing cute or sweet about a doll after an artist has their way with it.' Try as i might to add to this statement of what the doll show is about and why I chose the way I did I am stymied by my inability to add to what the artists have already." - Jack Fischer

TWO ARTISTS EXPLORING CHRIST
Kristine Mays and Shane Grammer
NOW through September 2010
I love that I have had the chance to show my work in unexpected places. In this instance, the gallery is housed within Valley Springs Presbyterian Church. The show will run through the summer and will be a part of the L'Abri Conference California - a theological conference designed to affirm that Christianity is an intellectually reasonable, relevant world-view. At this conference individuals have the opportunity to seek answers to honest questions about God and the significance of human life.

PUBLIC WORKS/ WINDOW DISPLAYS
275 Sacramento Street, San Francisco, CA
(On the corner of Front and Sacramento streets, across the street from the Embarcadero Center)
show runs: April - May 28, 2010
My life-size wire sculptures can be seen in three windows on display 24/7 for the world to see!
I once said I wanted to share art with people who might not necessarily go to openings and museums. I wanted to make art less intimidating, more accessible, a part of life. In the midst of busy schedules, everyday business, shopping, traffic, buses passing by, I have been offered an opportunity to present my wire sculpture for people of all walks of life to see. In the center of the hustle and bustle there stand my sculptures. I think that's pretty cool.
