"Form and Fashion" introduces the work of our new resident fashion designer Jude Munoz Gabbard and two new installations by artists Jessica Pezalla and Aurora Mahassine. Participating Artists: Jessica Pezalla, a graduate student at the San Francisco Art Institute, is working to recreate the natural world in felt. She builds her own secret gardens; perfectly organized, harmoniously composed, and completely artificial. She is inspired by Victorian naturalists and grade school art projects. Jude Munoz Gabbard, The Lola Galleries' new resident fashion designer, creates fashion that is not considered art to wear. Jude's work walks the line between fashion and art. Inspired by French Couture with reliance on craft and technique the designs work as a metaphor for politics or history presented behind a ruthlessly aristocratic façade. Jude's work is in the collections of several institutions in the U.S and abroad as well as private collections of artists and performers. His work has been included in exhibitions at The Nevada Museum of Art, The University of Helinski and The Bellas Artes in Mexico. Aurora Mahassine is a member of Tesselation. Comprised of planners, artists, engineers, and ecologists. Tesselation provides the experience and creativity needed to develop comprehensive plans and designs for habitat restoration, sustainable land use, and architecture. Mahassine specializes in the sculpture of beautiful hanging gardens with the use of her patented product "Habatile", a modular tile system. Each tile is a single pocket designed to contain soil and plants resulting in a hanging garden that is customized, hand carved and life sustaining. The Lola Gallery was opened in April 2002 by artist and designer Claire McGovern as an exhibition space to support emerging and established artists and art forms in all media. Its mission is to provide a holistic aesthetic experience of the arts by representation of fine art, furniture, installation, sculpture, music, literature, video and short film. The gallery is housed in a 3000 square foot former dot com space in the heart of the Mission and functions also as a high-end interior design showcase. The work of local furniture designers is exhibited in a variety of skillfully designed and eclectic interior settings The Lola Gallery also operates an artist residency program and also stages literary, music, film and performance arts events in conjunction with gallery shows. http:// www.lolabrown.com For more information please contact The Lola Gallery at (415) 401 6800 ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ The Lola Gallery 2517 Mission @ 21st Streets San Francisco (415) 401 6800 http://www.lolabrown.com ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (415) 401 6800 http://www.lolabrown.com ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com underground art and culture from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small businesses Copyright (c) 2005 Laughing Squid.
