Five Photographers
New and recent work by William Berry, Gerald
Incandela, David Mitchell, Alex Slade, and Joni Sternbach
July 16 to September 8, 2012
Exhibition Opening:
Monday, July 16, 2012 / 6 to 8pm
Cabana Home
111 Santa Barbara Street
Santa Barbara, CA 93101
(Santa Barbara, CA) - Cabana Home, in
collaboration with Edward Cella Art+Architecture,
presents Five Photographers, a selection of photographic
works by William Berry, Gerald Incandela, David Mitchell, Alex
Slade, and Joni Sternbach. Each photographer approaches his or her
own subject matter with a distinct vision and through a unique
process. Photography, whether it is ethnographic, abstract and
minimalist, or painterly and "drawn," is versatile, and
tends to evade the clear parameters attributed to other media. The
photograph lends itself to compelling aesthetic investigations of
the external world: literally captured by the apparatus, and
figuratively synthesized by the eye of the beholder.

Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts
Forum
Exhibitions: Mario Ybarra Jr.: The Tío Collection and Bloom
Projects: Annie Lapin, History =ing
Opening Reception:
Saturday, August 4, 6:30–8 pm Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum
Exhibitions on view: August 5 – September 30, Santa Barbara
Contemporary Arts Forum
ADMISSION IS
FREE
CAF presents a new,
large-scale project by Mario Ybarra Jr. featuring an autobiographical
exhibition comprised of artworks made from family memorabilia. CAF
also presents Los Angeles-based painter Annie Lapin in the latest iteration
of Bloom Projects, entitled History =ing.
In the
self-titled exhibition Mario Ybarra
Jr.: The Tío Collection, artist Mario Ybarra Jr. will construct
a museological tribute to his family displaying both fictional and
non-fictional objects from his uncles' lives, including his and their
photographs, artifacts, and other handmade objects in a faux-history museum at CAF.
Inspired by artists like Fred Wilson and the Museum of Jurassic Technology, Los
Angeles, CA, Ybarra Jr. examines
and deconstructs the traditional display of art and artifacts in
institutions of authority (e.g., museums and libraries), with a particular
focus on the inclusion of the Chicano experience.
Examining
the cultivation of his own style, the artist utilizes personal, cultural,
and temporal elements to organize The Tío Collection revealing how familial, generational,
geographical, and cultural influences filter down and are inherent to who
we become. Moving away from
common stereotypes of the Mexican-American experience by portraying a
diverse, multi-generational, and heterogeneous population, Mario Ybarra Jr.: The
Tío Collection is an homage: an attempt to document the cultural
field and add to the historical record the presence and contributions of the
Chicano community in the United States. As
a companion to the exhibition, a scholarly publication will document Mario
Ybarra Jr.: The Tío Collection, providing in-depth information on
the collection’s artifacts.
Wilmington-based
artist Mario Ybarra Jr. received an MFA
from University of California, Irvine, and a BFA from Otis College of Art
and Design, Los Angeles, CA. He
is a visual and performance artist, educator, and activist known for
combining street culture with fine art. Ybarra Jr. has
exhibited internationally in major museums and galleries including: Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; Los
Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York,
NY; Tate Modern, London, England; and J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA. In
2002, Ybarra Jr. and his wife, Karla Diaz, co-founded the artist-collective
Slanguage, where Diaz oversees exhibitions and programming. He is
represented by Honor Fraser, Los Angeles, CA.

Bloom Projects: Annie
Lapin, History =ing
With allusions to a multiplicity of painterly spaces
and affects, Annie Lapin's paintings examine and aestheticize
the materiality of painting. Monochromatic paintings,
composed from muddy paint residue are sourced from Lapin’s used paintbrush
jars. The paint also forms thick borders around the canvases, creating a
"frame" of painting, made out of the paint
itself. Calling into question notions of context and subjectivity,
Lapin's highly distilled works consider the essence of painting and
poetics.
Los Angeles-based artist Annie Lapin received an MFA from the
University of California, Los Angeles, and a BA from Yale University, New
Haven, CT. Lapin has recently shown at the Pasadena Museum of
California Art; Grand Arts, Kansas City, MO; and Angles Gallery, Santa
Monica, CA. She is represented by Honor Fraser, Los Angeles, CA.

“WILD
WINGS” PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION TO BE SHOWN AT THE SANTA BARBARA CENTRAL
LIBRARY
Los
Olivos ~ A
selection of the Wildling Museum’s current photography exhibition, “Wild
Wings,” featuring the winning photographs of its spring competition on the
subject of birds, will be taking flight to roost at the Santa Barbara
Central Library for the month of July. Visitors, who may not have had the
opportunity to see the exhibit at the museum in Los Olivos, will have
another chance to view the images before they return to the artists or
their new owners.
The
Wildling Museum, invited California residents to showcase their talents as
photographers on the subject of “birds” for the museum’s spring
competition. Asking that entries reflect the mission of the Wildling
Museum, to inspire our community and visitors to enjoy, value, and conserve
wildlife and natural areas through art, the Museum was very excited at the
caliber of submissions! The 25 winning entries were chosen from 230
submitted. Marc Muench, a professional photographer, and Karen Sinsheimer,
Director of Photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, along with
Stacey Otte, Executive Director of the Wildling, were the judges. The top
three winning photographs were Antoinette Addison’s first-place “Pure
Love,” Chris Seaton’s second-place “Owl,” and Carrie Kitley’s third-place
“Avila Watchman.” Honorable Mentions were given to Michael Caroff’s “Water
Dance” and “Secretary 1,” Lynn P. Kirst’s “Patterned Wing,” Ines Labunski
Roberts’s “I Am Watching You,” and Bruce Straits’s “Sandhill Cranes.”
Other
artists whose photographs were selected for exhibition include Morgan Ball,
Terryl Bunn, Elaine Calvert, Richard R. Hansen, Sandy Harris, Brett
Higgins, Jane Kametani, Richard Lindekens, Elizabeth Muraoka, Lillian
Smith, and David Wight.
The Wildling Museum offers visitors a
unique perspective on the importance of preserving our natural heritage.
Through the eyes of artists and interpretive materials, guests can renew
their relationship with the wilderness through art and understand its
fragile nature - hopefully leaving more committed toward ensuring those
spaces remain for future generations. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00
a.m.-5:00 p.m., the Museum offers 3 major exhibitions each year, 8-10
smaller exhibitions, a gift shop, a variety of programming, and Saturday
morning children’s craft classes. For more information, please visit 2928

“Ancient Greek Architecture in Sicily”
A
Lecture by Dr. Allan Langdale
Friday,
July 13, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Architectural
Foundation of Santa Barbara
The
Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara announces a lecture by art and
architectural historian Allan Langdale, Ph.D. on Friday, July 13 at 7:00
pm. Professor Langdale will present an illustrated talk on “Ancient
Greek Architecture in Sicily”. There will be a suggested donation of
$10.00 at the door. Please arrive early to ensure your seat.
You are invited to join us at 6:30 pm for light refreshments preceding the
presentation.
This
lecture will survey the remarkable architectural legacy of the ancient
Greeks on the island of Sicily. People may be surprised to know that many
of the best preserved Greek temples are in Sicily rather than in what is
today the country of Greece. We'll visit such sites as Syracusa, Agrigento,
Segesta, and Selinunte, and examine Greek temple building and quarrying
techniques as practiced by the ancients.
Allan
Langdale teaches art history at UC Santa Cruz and works as a guide and
lecturer on Zegrahm Expeditions small ship cruises in the Adriatic, the
Black Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Indian
Ocean. He is an expert on the colonial architecture of the Venetians and of
the art and architecture of Cyprus. He has recently published an
archaeological and architectural guidebook to the region of northern
Cyprus. He is also the writer and co-director of the award-winning
architectural documentary film 'The Stones of Famagusta: the Story of a
Forgotten City'.
The
Architectural Foundation is located in the historic Acheson House at the
corner of Garden and East Victoria Streets in Santa Barbara, with the
entrance on Garden Street. We look forward to seeing you!
