How to Get Free: Healing in the USA

Three writers, three radical visions of healing in America today. Decorated, award-winning poets and journalists Morgan ParkerCarvell Wallace, and sam sax’s recent transformative works reimagine the conventions of self-love in a world that wasn’t built for you. Whether it’s Parker’s investigation of racial consciousness and its effects on mental well-being (You Get What You Pay For), Wallace’s irresistibly made case for life in his excavation of growing up Black and queer and homeless (Another Word for Love), or sax’s kaleidoscopic coming of age novel (Yr Dead)—all these writers present profoundly original meditations on healing, told through the lenses of justice, sex, family, gender, protest, and death. Moderated by The Stacks podcast founder and host, Traci Thomas.

Delights Book Launch

Guy Cowell’s ‘Delights’ Book Launch

Guy Colwell’s first full graphic novel in 33 years, and most ambitious one to date, sees one painter consider the struggles of another. The known details of “Hieronymus Bosch’s” life, and the commissioning of his enormous triptych “The Garden Of Earthly Delights,” are scant. Colwell takes the facts of the time and setting, and recreates a tale of a man and artist torn equally among piety, creativity, and commerce. Jheronimus van Aken is paid well by local dukes to paint a vision of the world before the fall, but will the religious leaders of his village see it as celebrating God’s creation, or as fatally corrupted by sensuality? What of the increasing numbers of young models needed to depict pre-apple innocence? Bosch must not only focus on creating his greatest painting but parry the inquisitor’s prying and skeptical questioning.

Guy Colwell is a painter whose social surrealist approach has been tainted by comic book art. Guy Colwell is a comic book artist whose stories have been tainted by unfunny social surrealism. Come see some of both with the release of this new graphic novel about a painter undertaking a troubling masterpiece.

Mike Davis Slippery Slope 2024

Echoes of the Future: Unveiling the New Dark Ages and Dystopian Realities at 111 Minna Gallery

KQED recently highlighted our current art exhibits, featuring the works of Mike Davis and Michael Kerbow, which present dark yet humorous visions of a post-modern medieval world and a post-apocalyptic Earth. Mike Davis’s series, “Survivors of the Plague,” portrays chaotic scenes reminiscent of medieval times but with odd modern elements like UFOs and cell phones, depicting a humanity regressed to a darker age. His painting “The Wedding Party” vividly showcases scenes of anarchy and debauchery, infusing grim humor with detailed, fantastical elements.

Michael Kerbow’s work, meanwhile, offers a poignant commentary on environmental neglect. His paintings, such as “Frozen Markets” and “Highwater,” depict dinosaurs and woolly mammoths inhabiting modern but ruined landscapes, highlighting the inevitable consequences of humanity’s environmental impact. These works suggest a bleak future where nature reclaims civilization after humanity’s downfall, serving as a stark reminder of the long-term effects of our current lifestyle choices.
