Berkeley Art Center is proud to present the 2018 Agility Projects artists Leah Rosenberg and Jeremiah Jenkins in this two-person exhibition. Through humor, color and play, both artists reflect on challenges of being an artist amidst growing social tensions and the value in (re)focusing on pleasure and human connection.

The 2018 Agility Projects will mark the third year of this innovative series of exhibits by local artists. Featured artists are selected by BAC’s curatorial committee from a list nominated by esteemed Bay Area arts professionals. Participating artists receive commission stipends, funds for materials, support from a preparator, photo documentation of their work, the publication of an exhibition catalog; and professional development support.

COLOR FOR THE PEOPLE

COLOR FOR THE PEOPLE and COLOR BAR

While in residence at the McColl Center for Art & Innovation Aug 28-Dec 5, I will be rolling out a new program with Color for the People, a site-specific exploration of color and taste. Each week, I will find a color from Charlotte’s landscape and apply it to the gallery walls and furniture to create an immersive color-field painting and meditative space. To deepen visitors’ sensory engagement, I will host a series of “Color Bar” events over the course of the residency: On selected Thursday evenings, she will serve cocktails and treats to match the color of the week, encouraging the public to reflect on the relationships between experiences of color, flavor, and people.  Color for the People and Color Bar intend to create space for remembering the vital roles that art and food continue to play in fostering shared experiences of pleasure and joy, which I believe can be medicine for times like these.
