Local environmental causes set up tents and promoted themselves at the San Diego County Earth Fair.

Opening reception: Saturday, Jan. 21 4-7 p.m. On view Jan. 21 through March 3. “Tom Driscoll’s recent sculptural works activate architectural space by exploiting the juncture of walls, floors and ceilings. The resulting corners become prime loci for the placement of cast concrete, geometrically organic forms that enlist and activate the entire gallery space as both foil and collaborator. Related hanging, pendulum pieces when swung arc back and forth against the white walls leaving elegant tracings of their movement. The normal gallery experience of static objects centered on walls is thereby completely subverted by Driscoll in an exuberant and profound way.” – Hugh M.
