Tom Holland
Saturday, March 17, 4pm
An artist of California expansiveness, Tom Holland gives depth, light, and vibrancy to painted surface. Taking aluminum or fiberglass, Holland, whether in painting up against the wall or forming a free-standing object, is foremost a colorist. He pulls from pigment a luminousity and gives voice to a concert of color.

David Best
Saturday, April 28, 4pm
From sculpture using ceramic and found objects, to elaborate and fantastic art cars, David Best has spun structure into spectacular shrines of ultimate ephemeral existence. And all the while his canny eye has collaged on an enormous scale, from the wall into space into architecture. Weaving tapestry or alter, David Best creates a vision beyond our experience.

Irene Segalove
Saturday, June 23, 4pm
Ilene Segalove has taken photography, video, text and audio to pursue a droll examination of social and sexual convention. Segalove's reflection of L.A. culture is drawn with the humor of conceptual art while engaging the very conventions she illuminates with irony. These quirky works form a part of Pacific Standard Time at the Getty, MoCA, and the Orange County Museum.
$10 general admission, free for BAC members and students.
