description: Garrick Imatani’s work centers on issues related to archival exploration, artistic collaboration, and placemaking (an approach that considers the planning, design, and layout of public space in relation to the community). This mixed media work includes the files from the Looseleaf Services: (a) cardboard box entitled Looseleaf Services; (b) So He Raised His Hand, (documents) by Inge Bruggeman; (c) 12 stencils with description, designed by Katherine Ball. The Watcher File Project investigates and interprets, in various ways, records amassed by the Portland Police Bureau on 301 activist groups operating in the city between the 1960s through the 1980s. Such groups were under routine surveillance until an Oregon law was passed prohibiting the authorities from spying on factions not officially under criminal investigation. Imatani’s participation in the exhibition is represented by Looseleaf Services, which consists of two major components: a filing cabinet holding various records reproduced as metal inserts, and a cardboard binder that sits atop the cabinet holding a publication subscription. For $40 a year subscribers receive “primary and secondary source documents-addenda & errata-all punched with holes to slip into the binder.” Additional materials that are sent to subscribers include artwork, poetry, essays, and small objects made by collaborators that relate to the materials within the files. All the materials including the filing cabinet are meant to be handled by visitors. By researching and making this information available, Imatani hopes to preserve the history of these activist groups as well as highlight the history of their surveillance.

KOZYREV, Dimitri
description: Untitled
description: graphite on paper
description: 17 5/8 x 35"
description: It is not surprising, given his long-term association with the UCSB Art Department, that Gary Brown would collect the works of his students, and this drawing by Dimitri Kozyrev (MFA, 2000) is an excellent example of his interest in how the delicacy of line—usually the formal anchor of a work—can also construct an inherent instability in and through its enveloping space. In this case, clear-cut Euclidian geometries are subverted in favor of a more hyperbolic, ‘autopian’ topography, as if the world were viewed through the windshield of a speeding automobile, denying the spectator the comforts of a sustaining visual ground. Occasionally, we focus on a specific detail but more often than not Kozyrev deterritorializes our perception, as we are caught up in the ephemeral experience of anticipating what is yet to come, grasping the immediate moment in our peripheral vision, or recalling what we have just witnessed in our virtual memory. Kozyrev expresses this ambivalence between objective specificity and subjective incommensurability by representing the gaps in our attention as much as the concrete object or landscape per se. Thus details are sketched in—a line of trees, a rough horizon line, the receding lines of street lamps and freeway—so that topography is reduced to a series of minimalistic signifiers. Instead of a panoramic spectacle, we are made more aware of vast expanses of white space which “invades” the scene so that it is often difficult to discern the dividing line between nature and simulacrum, sky and earth, foreground and background, virtual and actual space. The result is a breakdown of linear or chronological time into overlapping shards of active memory, in which past, present and future collapse into pure becoming.

description: As an undergraduate John Nava worked closely with his mentor Howard Warshaw, a professor of painting who fostered his deep appreciation for drawing and working from the human figure. Since attending UCSB, John Nava has established a renowned reputation for his commanding portraits and technical sophistication, as evidenced in his paintings, drawings and, more recently, tapestry works. The painting and tapestry on view are from the artist’s portrait series Neo-Icons. They portray young adults sporting t-shirts with phrases made popular during the many government protests following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He started this series in 2005 to demonstrate his revulsion for the interrogation and detention policies espoused by the George W. Bush administration. In light of ongoing discussions surrounding government-sanctioned torture and domestic spying, these startling works continue to be relevant and spark yet more contemplation and conversation about these controversial subjects.

description: John Arvanites was among an early group of artists, like his classmates Wolfgang Stoerchle and Ilene Segalove, who embraced video as an artistic medium. These videos reflect his ironic sense of humor and relate to his time at UCSB. Sand, made while Arvanites was still an MFA student, appears to be a dramatic dessert vista with blowing winds, akin to a scene from the iconic film Lawrence of Arabia. Gradually the blowing sands give way to reveal a microphone recording the sound, destroying any kind of mythic imagery. Icebox Classic was made shortly after Arvanites moved to New York City to pursue his artistic career. It shows the hand of the artist outlining each of the myriad food products inside his refrigerator, while a classical music program plays in the background. “I was satirizing my art school experience where professors put up still lifes in class and then put on classical music.” By “drawing” in video Arvanites demonstrates not only how out of touch some of his classroom experiences felt, especially in relation to his own multi-media practice, but also his desire to deconstruct the romantic, idealized vision of the “the artist at work.”

BELTZ, Eric
description: The Mortal Gorgon Medusa
description: Shellac and silver ink on prepared paper
description: 80 x 50" SHEET
description: According to the ancient Roman poet Ovid, Medusa was a beautiful woman raped by Poseidon in a temple dedicated to Athena. Angered by the defilement of her temple, Athena victimized Medusa again by transforming her into a monster. Beltz’s large-scale drawing proposes a contrasting version of this familiar, snake-haired Gorgon. Here, she is reenvisioned as an abstract, ethereal creature made up of the beauteous bounty of nature. Closer inspection reveals she is composed of potent plants used to cure ailments or induce hallucinogenic states in shamanic practice: poison oak, datura, milkweed, castor, morning glory, mint, and poison hemlock. These helpful, once well-used, plants are now frequently overlooked (relegated to the category of weeds), though they grow abundantly in interstitial sites throughout this region.

description: Receiving his MFA from UC Santa Barbara in 2004, Eric Beltz is often referred to as a “visual essayist.” Using myths, religious symbolism and history to inform his artistic narrative, Beltz creates intricately detailed works suggesting complex stories. In this work, Medusa’s scarecrow crown, completed in 2014, demonstrate Medusa’s beauty as a goddess. In Eric’s scarecrow crown, she wears the souls of men that were born through seduction giving her a feminine power to turn men into stone while the snakes represent her punishment and seduction towards Poseidon by Athena. Bristol board is often used by Beltz as it provides an excellent drawing support surface holding graphite stronger than paper; it provides a smooth finish supporting detail and fine lines while darkened areas become more visible. On reverse center, signed, dated with title MEDUSA'S SCARECROW CROWN.

description: UCSB alumnus John Bommer received his MFA in painting in 1983 and while in school was a teaching assistant in the Film and Media Studies Department. Gary H. Brown, who was his partner, mentor and friend, described his work in an exhibition catalog as entailing many different styleshe was always experimentingthough the one constant is the common thread of language...Etymology, signs, linguistics, film and semiology were a deep part of John's life and work. Give Up Now or Wait and See Whats Coming (1985) combines Bommers interests in film and language with his alarm at the AIDS epidemic ravaging the nation and the gay community in particular. The title, written across the composition, is a spirited message of support to everyone affected by the AIDS crisis to carry on in the hope that treatments or a cure might be found. Bommer reminds one that giving up only leads to dire circumstances as evidenced by the Collaged image of the train bearing down on the man and woman who stand seemingly helpless on the tracks rather than moving out of the way. His work was among the earliest to address AIDS in art, a consequence, no doubt, of seeing his own friends in pain. A year after this was completed, Bommer was diagnosed with an AIDS-related illness and died nine months later in Santa Barbara tended by Brown. Throughout those months, Bommer was true to the message in this work as he remained optimistic, brave and ever thankful to friends and family for the love and support they gave him.

description: Future Shadow B
description: Lithograph, 4/5
description: 30 x 21" SHEET
description: Red lithograph with green cross-like image at center; signed at lower right with edition 4/5. II at lower left. Mark di Suvero took sculpture classes in the Department of Art while attending UCSB as a Philosophy major. Unlike his family friend Richard Serra, whose work is also on view in this exhibition, he was abruptly kicked out of the University. According to the artist it was a result of a technicality—he had yet to take a required drawing class before enrolling in advanced sculpture classes. (He also alludes to his sharp tongue in regards to his expulsion.) Di Suvero went on to study at UC Berkeley where he graduated with a degree in Philosophy. Shortly thereafter he moved to New York City where he became internationally known for his monumental, outdoor sculptures. His sculptural compositions emphasize the balance and intersection of competing linear forms—sharp angular lines, curving cores, and teetering elements that sometimes allow for rotating or swinging movements. The series of lithographs and sculpture on display here recall beam-like constructions and the anticipatory momentum found in his large-scale sculptural projects.

The sculpture on view here is comprised of two parts. The upper portion is perfectly balanced on the vertical support, resting in a slight indentation in the steel and held in place by its own weight.

description: William Dole was a beloved Professor of Art at UC Santa Barbara from 1949 until his death in 1983. Though Dole achieved an international reputation for his collages, he was initially trained as a painter. From 1957, while on sabbatical in Italy, Dole purchased a trove of nineteenth-century Italian ephemera that included letters, marbleized paper, and maps. These materials along with a stash of Japanese papers he received earlier, all came togetherI had all of [this] marvelous material out which I could make images. These early collages, such as Palazzo, often mimic landscapes or architecture, both of which were prime subject matter for Dole the painter. Over time, Dole moved away from producing these interpretable images and instead made more purposefully enigmatic compositions, such as Speak Memory that focused on the purely formal, visual elements.

description: Posto #1
description: 1979
description: Oil on canvas
description: 74 x 60 in.
description: Michael Dvortcsaks Posto #1 conveys the role the artist plays as inventor of form and bystander to creation. Comprised of long verticals and rectangular shapes that ground smaller forms and illuminate a range of hues, the work is suggestive of a non-specific interior space. (The title word, Posto, means "place" in the Italian language.) Dvortcsaks artistic effort is an attempt to "bring inert matter to life" and his approach to the blank canvas is "getting used to the rectangle and allowing the work to reveal itself." Dvortcsak completed this painting while teaching at UC Santa Barbara.
