SUMMARY:Creative! Growth!
DESCRIPTION:Creative! Growth! will be the first exhibition to consider the history of Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland\, California. \nFounded in 1974 by artist Florence Ludins-Katz (1912–1990) and her psychologist husband Elias Katz (1913–2008)\, Creative Growth emerged from the larger social\, cultural\, and political narratives associated with the Bay Area in the late 1960s and early 1970s—including the women’s\, gay\, and civil rights movements. The arts and disabilities movement\, which championed the civil rights of disabled persons and fought against their marginalization in arts and culture\, flourished during this era. The Katzes were among that movement’s most farsighted and committed advocates. \nCreative! Growth! is curated by Matthew Higgs and will consider the organization’s history and legacy through the lens of the present. Now approaching its fiftieth anniversary\, Creative Growth is the preeminent center for artists with disabilities in the United States\, and has\, in turn\, become a model for similar centers nationally and internationally. At Creative Growth\, the Katzes established a unique and fiercely independent environment where disabled individuals are empowered to explore their creativity at their own pace. \nThe staff at Creative Growth\, almost exclusively practicing artists\, are not teachers in any conventional sense\, as no formal instruction takes place. Rather\, the staff members work alongside the artists with disabilities\, introducing them to new materials and processes\, offering practical and technical assistance where necessary\, and supporting their idiosyncratic approaches to self-expression. \nCreative! Growth! will consider the organization’s history and legacy through the lens of the present. There are a number of discrete solo presentations by key artists who were—or remain—affiliated with Creative Growth\, including Judith Scott (1943–2005)\, Dwight Mackintosh (1906–1999)\, William Scott\, Dan Miller\, Monica Valentine\, Tony Pedemonte\, Nicole Storm\, and John Martin. Photographer and documentary filmmaker Cheryl Dunn will present a selection from her twenty-plus-year archives documenting the artists at Creative Growth. \nhttps://www.jmkac.org/exhibition/creative-growth/ \nImage: Creative Growth studio interior.

SUMMARY:Archive Dive: Eccentric Machines
DESCRIPTION:In 1987\, the Arts Center organized Eccentric Machines\, a group exhibition including twenty-six large-scale sculptural works created by twenty artists\, including internationally renowned artists Alice Aycock\, Dennis Oppenheim\, and Jonathan Borofsky. The show presented a range of contemporary mechanical and kinetic artworks highlighting the complex\, ever-evolving relationship between machines and humans. \nThe interconnections of mechanics and daily life were further explored through the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta and in-gallery performances by Kanopy Dance Company. In addition three artists collaborated with area residents in the creation of Mechanical Marvels\, a large assemblage of mechanical waste and objects on the Art Center’s east lawn. \nArchive Dive: Eccentric Machines revisits the 1987 exhibition through a selection of archival materials\, including photographs of the Mechanical Marvels installation\, public programs\, and events; artist correspondence; and curatorial writing. \nThis dive into the archive reflects on the continuing conversation about technology. How do these moments of movement\, tinkering\, and discovery between human and object from more than three decades ago connect with our current engagement with technology? How do these kinetic artworks change our perspective of contemporary devices? How do artists encourage us to examine technology’s role in our lives? \nImage: Lewis Alquist\, States of Matter Undergoing Habitual Rotation\, 1983; welded steel bed frames\, glass\, electric motors\, and milk substitute. \nArchive Dive: Eccentric Machines \n \nTuesday\, Wednesday\, Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.\nThursday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. extended hours\nSaturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:In the Adjacent Possible
DESCRIPTION:In the Adjacent Possible is a response to sociologist Ruha Benjamin’s suggestion to “imagine and craft the worlds you cannot live without\, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within.” \nEach of the five artists’ installations provides a vantage point for viewing the many potentialities that lie just beyond what we know. They conjure worlds that are not quite here\, yet are within our grasp. They place us in the adjacent possible\, a space where we can dream alternative ways of being in the world. \nThe exhibition forms a speculative architecture that explores myriad approaches to and understandings of proposed and promised strategies of living. These artists offer prospective blueprints of other worlds\, often constructed from the remnants of our current one. Engaging issues of colonialism\, feminism\, queerness\, identity\, and stereotypes\, In the Adjacent Possible suggests ways we can reimagine the present and explores the infinite horizon of opportunities at the boundaries of our reach. \nhttps://www.jmkac.org/exhibition/in-the-adjacent-possible/ \nImage: In the Adjacent Possible artists (clockwise from upper left): Suchitra Mattai\, Haleigh Nickerson\, Yasmine K.
