Join a panel of scientific and artistic thinkers for a deep look at the roles of fungi on the planet and microscopic elements within complex systems. The visiting Treseder Lab of UC Irvine examines fungi’s layered relationship to planetary life and discusses how fungi mediate and connect distant ecosystems. David Familian introduces life webs and AI as complex systems, a topic that comes to focus in the art exhibition, "Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty." Artists in residence with the Beall Center’s Black Box Projects working with the Treseder Lab, art collective Cesar & Lois introduce their ecosystem-based artwork that articulates fungal respiration and bioelectric signaling. Moving across perspectives in art and science, the panelists reframe how we picture the planet. Scientists from The Treseder Lab include Dr. Kathleen Treseder and researchers Eduardo Misael Choreno Parra and Melanie Taleen Hacopian. David Familian is artistic director of Beall Center for Art + Technology at UC Irvine.

Still-life painting is the study of everyday objects that take on a new life, tell a story and can act as a portal to another place or time. Emphasis in this class will be on an impressionist technique of painting using an alla prima (wet into wet) style of painting, keeping loose brushwork, thick paint, and eliminating detail. We will cover composition, color, form, and lighting. There will be a setup for each class along with photo images to create from. I do a painting demonstration in each class. One of our exercises will be a personal still life using objects that have meaning for us. The best part is that we will have fun as we share our discoveries together. Come join us! I cannot wait to see what you will create. This class is for all levels of painters, both beginning and experienced. You are also welcome to do your own work. This is a good place to be with other talented artists and enjoy the creative atmosphere here at the Athenaeum. Please let me know if you have any questions.
