From the gallery: The Hill Street Country Club presents OUTSIDE THE MALL, recent works by Mark Chamness Mark Chamness, a Californian artist based in Oceanside, is exhibiting new works in fibers and what the artist calls “discarded urban plastic” at the Hill Street Country Club September 2nd to December 9th, 2023. Mark’s work draws from legacies of abstraction, his training as a painter and carpenter, and his daily experiences of the last several years with the ongoing Covid pandemic. The last three years have been a time of significant personal and cultural change. Many people have been reexamining the domestic space and reconnecting to labor-intensive hand work. Though Mark’s practice stretches back much farther than that, these new works have evolved to include new materials from 2020 onwards. While supply chain issues and shipping made some materials harder to come by, there has been no shortage of single-use plastic. Mark collects bags caught in bushes or left on the beach, cuts them into strips, and tufts the strips into his needlepoint. Each piece becomes a record of its time, incorporating the stories embedded in the environment around him. “I deal in fragments. I love things that are stuffed in between the cracks, that are unimportant, things that are tossed aside.” - Mark Chamness Mark lives as a carpenter by day. He started working with wood in high school and transitioned into art making as funding for woodshop started waning. He eventually entered Cal Arts as a painter in 1992. Blending these traditions is at the core of his practice and allows the work to bounce back and forth between art and craft, structural and decorative, sensual and conceptual. —The Hill Street Country Club, edited by Akiko Surai Opening reception: 5-8 p.m. on Sept. 2 On view Sept. 2 through Dec. 9. Exhibition Programming begins in October. The gallery is wheelchair accessible with street parking. Related links: The Hill Street Country Club: Website | Instagram

Curated by: Yvette Roman and Natalia Ventura Cuéntame is an Far South, Border North campaign created by Yvette Roman and natalia ventura. The campaign aims to strengthen borderlands consciousness through intergenerational relationship-building, storytelling, and art-making. For our final exhibition we intend to display artwork, documentation and audio captured throughout 2023-2024. As a collective, Cuéntame invited emerging artists from San Diego and Tijuana to collaborate on an exhibition capturing the oral history of elders in our San Ysidro community living at Villa Merced. Nine emerging artists will display artwork at The Front Arte y Cultura. Six of the artists were selected through a call for entry, one is our Cuentame intern, and two are FS/BN grantees. Dates: Opening Reception: 5-7 p.m. June 1 Elder Brunch: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 6 Closing Reception: 6-8 p.m. June 7 Artist’s Statement: Yvette and natalia created Cuéntame as a way to honor the labor and legacy of elders in their San Diego border communities. Cuéntame is a community project that uses art as a method for capturing, archiving, and telling the stories of elders. The project aims to build generational bonds, pass on generational wisdom, strengthen a sense of belonging, and create meaningful opportunities for artists in our border community. Our hope is that the relationship formed between the artists, elders, and viewers in this process contributes to a stronger borderlands consciousness in each generation, and ultimately a more empowered border community.

Also appearing on this show are country artists Miranda Ramos, Sara Jade and Ash Easton.
