Jamie Franks' new site-specific, ephemeral installation, “Hurry” at ICE Gallery covers the entire gallery space with isomalt (sugar substitute), steel wire and resin. The isomalt takes on an appearance of fractured sheets of crystalline material or ice cracking and crumbling throughout the entire gallery — with pieces of varying size threaded with fine wire and woven across each wall. Even the space's windows are coated with a fluid-like blob pattern formed by resin. Left to its own devices (and the natural humidity of the space), the isomalt would eventually break down. San Diego-based artist Jamie Franks' interdisciplinary work has been shown at Art Produce and Bread and Salt before — including her recent, memorable evolving chairs installations, "Cacophony" and "Liability." "Hurry" has open gallery hours every Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. You can also view the exhibition by appointment, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m, Tuesday through Saturday and can be made online here. ICE Gallery is located inside Bread and Salt. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Related links: Gallery appointments ICE Gallery on Instagram Jamie Franks on Instagram

Join us, Sunday, June 12 at 3 pm, for an Artist talk at the PHES Gallery with visual artist Alvaro Alvarez. "Being a curious boy by nature, I get excited about what the process of creating art can reveal – and how the work becomes alive and has a will of its own. I paint with ink because I relate to its materiality’s innate emotion and flexibility to conform to any formal rigor. Ink being liquid, it has a mind of its own; a quality which I respect in and out of my studio. Loaded with pigment, ink’s free-will grants it a human quality, and portrays the strength and power of its color." Alvaro is one of the featured artists in the PHES Gallery's newest exhibition "Boundaries and Connection," with Kaori Fukuyama and Kline Swonger. Free event. Public parking adjacent to the courtyard in the Coaster parking lot.
