Review by RWM: Modern life captured in variety and with odd juxtapositions. The art does leave one wanting to think more deeply about what is presented. All sorts of messages and ideas make the experience of this exhibition somewhat convoluted and disjointed, but on the flip side, there's likely something here for everyone.
Comment by AB: According to the game plan, this exhibition surveys "emerging California artists of various disciplines. The goal of this exhibition is to take an audience through a visual and auditory journey addressing the state of contemporary life through art." In the side gallery, !Coco Mania! celebrates the life and career of fictional baseball player Coco Rodriguez-- the star that artist Eduardo Gomez always wanted to be when he was growing up.
