This event has ended.
Endless Summer curated by Gary Petersen features Cortney Andrews, Gregory Botts, Amanda Church, Peter Dayton, Erik den Breejen, Lydia Enriquez, Nate Ethier, Matthew Fisher, David Humphrey, Elisabeth Kley, Osamu Kobayashi, Kerry Law, Judith Linhares, Liz Markus and Jennifer Watson.
Long, hot summer days and nights filled with sunshine, surf, and long shadows in the sand: Endless Summer, the seminal surf movie from 1966, tracks the journey of two surfers as they follow summer around the world. The artists in this show create a similar vibe with work evocative of seasonal devotion, resonating a carefree joy combined with a commitment to craft. Depictions of silhouettes, surfboards, waves, palm trees, and song lyrics come together to induce all things buoyant and summery, and the abstract configurations conjure a hazy, dreamy summer state of mind. Even the poet’s sing of endless summer: “a fresh star rises in the cloudy sky. A summer night sizzles without burning.” — from ‘Ode to Summer’ by Pablo Neruda
