DAVID HANNAH
September 6 - 30, 2006

Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by David Hannah, September 6 through 30th.

David Hannah will show paintings and mixed-media works on plastic film which explore various pictorial grammars of the landscape and cityscape genres. Through historical reference and poetic association, these works address the problematics of perception, cognition and memory in our encounter with two-dimensional images.

David Hannah is the Paul L. and Phyllis Wattis Professor of Art at Stanford University, where he has been the Director of Graduate Studies: MFA Program since 1991. Before coming to Stanford he taught at the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, 1981-1991 and at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1968-1981.

Hannah has been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Englehard Foundation, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

A reception for the artist will be held Thursday, September 7th from 5:30 � 7:30 p.m.

ANN CHAMBERLAIN
September 6 - 30, 2006

Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by Ann Chamberlain, September 6 through 30th.

Ann Chamberlain will install works on paper and sculptural plaster elements in an arrangement that links topography with drawn two-dimensional imagery. The nearly abstract fragments will address the sites of narrative: where things happened and where they might yet happen.

In a successful career highlighted by several renowned public art projects, Ann Chamberlain uses all manner of media available to her. In projects like the Healing Garden at UCSF Mt. Zion's Women's Health Center, where she turned a bleak concrete courtyard into an inviting lush garden for cancer patients, the artist creates permanent artwork and validates the histories of her subjects. Chamberlain's accessible and inspiring histories of ordinary people bring the experience of art to unexpected places.

Formerly the program director at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Marin, Chamberlain is now a member of the faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Ann Chamberlain is completing a collaborative public art commission, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Memorial, on San Francisco's Embarcadero. With landscape architect Walter Hood she is creating a black onyx wall etched with photographic images by Robert Capa, a tribute to the American volunteers who fought in the Spanish Civil War.

A reception for the artist will be held Thursday, September 7th from 5:30 � 7:30 p.m.
