Painting and Sculpture, Oakland Museum of California

July 3 - August 7, 2015

Artists' Reception: Thursday, July 9, 6-8pm

Artists' Talk: First Friday, August 7, 6:30pm

First Person Once Removed brings together a constellation of seven artists working with the concept of the extended self to explore processes of abstraction. Juror Christina Linden says of the exhibition, “Through a variety of techniques, these artists demonstrate that attempts to understand and represent external bodies—whether these bodies are lost objects, foreign landscapes or the people we live with—are always subject to abstraction. Some develop this abstraction in as much isolation as they can find in their studios, but others highlight the role of conversation, collaboration, and chance in their procedures.”
Featured Artists: Luca Antonucci, Elizabeth Bernstein, Kristine Eudey, Carey Lin, Olivia Mole, Emma Webster
