Celebrating the UCR ARTSblock Sweeney Art Gallery聮s 50th anniversary, ESSENTIAL: Selections from the Permanent Collection Celebrates UCR Sweeney Art Gallery聮s 50th Anniversary, brings attention to the gallery聮s growing permanent collection, alongside the deep photographic collection at UCR California Museum of Photography (CMP), which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year too with an exhibition based on its permanent collection, Around the World in Forty Pictures.
The art gallery was established on UCR聮s main campus in 1963. It moved to downtown Riverside in 2006 to help form the UCR ARTSblock with CMP and Culver Center of the Arts. Selected works in the exhibition come from gifts by artists, collectors, and gallerists given since 2007 and onward. 聯Many of the artists represented have been featured in past exhibitions at the gallery in this time period, as I wanted to focus on the evolution of the gallery since it聮s joining with UCR ARTSblock,聰 says Tyler Stallings, Director of the Sweeney Art Gallery & Artistic Director of the Culver Center of the Arts.
The works are organized in loose categories such as Abstraction, Animals, Body, Borders, Photography Into Painting, UCR MFA Student Work, Works from Inland Empire-based artists, and Faculty from UCR. The artworks cover a variety of media ranging from video installations, drawing, photography, painting, sculpture, books, postcards, posters, and prints.
Artists who will be represented include Marsia Alexander-Clarke, Tom Allen, Judie Bamber, Edward Beardsley, Tad Beck, Margarita Cabrera, Albert Contreras, Edgard De Souza, John Divola, Sean Duffy, Peter Edlund, Reanne Estrada, Fritz Haeg, David Leapman, Gabriela Leon, Peter Lodato, Jason Lutz, Rachel Mayeri, Christopher Russell, Dan Torres (El Daino), Rub茅n Ortiz Torres, Ann Phong, Perry Vasquez & Victor Payan, Alison Walker, Stephanie Washburn, and Yoram Wolberger.
