Wednesday, July 12th 7-10pm FREE ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- COSMIC SATELLITES Triple Base Gallery July 12 - July 30, 2006 Opening Reception: Wednesday, July 12, 7 - 10 pm Special live performance at 8pm: Usun w/ Mark Borthwick, Hisham Bharoocha (ex-Black Dice) and David Aron. Cosmic Satellites celebrates the intimate, handmade, the beloved souvenir and the special gift. Guest curator and art director Betty Nguyen will set up a temporary shop at the Triple Base gallery carrying limited edition art works, merchandise, clothes and media by an international roster of artists - many of whom are featured in Yerba Buena Center for the Arts' simultaneous exhibition Cosmic Wonder. Satellite artists include Cory Arcangel, Ara Peterson, John Dwyer, Nieves Books and Zines, Tagbanger and Textfield, Hanna Fushihara Aron, David Aron, Hisham Bharoocha, Mark Borthwick, Feathers, Sam Gordon, Sabrina Gschwandtner (KnitKnit), Yukinori Maeda, Paperrad, Ports Bishop and many more. In both the Cosmic Wonder exhibition and satellite show, Nguyen strings together a community of artists from New York, Los Angeles, Japan, and San Francisco that work between aesthetics of transcendental, digitally tight and homespun. Cosmic Satellites is a contemporary cube of intricate jewelry, silk-screened and digital posters, couture clothes, humorously clever tee-shirts, documented zines, ephemeral paintings, and recursive videos that highlight the varied creative endeavors of these multi-talented artists.

Brought together by a shared interest in site- specific and multi-disciplinary contemporary art practice, co- curators Joyce Grimm and Dina Pugh invite artists working in areas of film/video, social practice, music, painting, drawing and sculpture to create new work while considering the parameters of site, scale and location.
