Bakula & Madeleine Tonzi : Other Places

By

Classic Cars West presents Other Places, a two person exhibition featuring the work of Oakland-based artists Bakula and Madeleine Tonzi. Other Places explores concepts of place and the boundaries within.

Through an imaginative geographic visual language, the paintings of the two join in a dialogue of what it means to carry our past into the future, expressing a sense of nostalgia, euphoria, wonderment, and inquiry for the environments we traverse.

Collaboratively, their paintings conjure an uncanny essence, something otherworldly yet strangely familiar.

July 6-27, 2019
Opening Reception July 6th, 6-10PM featuring surreal harpist Sabine Silver, Infinite Neck & DJ Aria

Golgatha is a presentation of three works examining dysphoria and mental illness: Golgatha, Glass Body II, and Firmament. Innovative stained glass techniques are centralized and used to twist Judeo-Christian framings of sublimity, martyrdom, and suffering. Attempts are made to heal from repeated experiences of spiritual abuse and rejection. Smashed liquor bottles, saliva, underwear, shredded plastic, pins, needles, assorted detritus of personal historical significance assist in the process. What does it mean when I feel the urge to sacrifice/extinguish myself? How would I even begin to locate my extant parts?

About the Artist: Dani Robison has been doing unusual things with stained glass for the past eight years. In 2010 she earned degrees in printmaking and music from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN. She recently released her third compositional suite with the ensemble Sapphire Lung titled Chamber Slime, and curated an original speculative holiday: Diluvianalia. Robison has disseminated over one thousand fine talismans across the globe as part of an everlasting project titled Disseminating Talismans Forever.
