New Exhibtions Opening Reception: Mapping Memory and Doug Burgess


Wednesday, November 10
5:00PM to 7:00PM
Thoreau Center for Sustainability, San Francisco

In Mapping Memory artist Gurpran Rau mixes maps with layers of paint, de-emphasizing boundaries and their political meanings. Rau's paintings suggest that home is just a state of mind and that we all spring from the same source. In the Seed Gallery, photographer Doug Burgess displays his detailed images of Bay Area invasive plants. He combines his images with narratives, challenging our understanding of weeds and our complicity in their proliferation.
