Arid Eden
August 24-October 10, 2009
(Closed Mon. Sept 7th)
Artists Talk: Monday, August 24 10am
Reception: Friday, August 28 7-9pm Arid Eden brings together two artists who project personal narratives onto the vast spaces of the desert landscape. In paintings done over a span of twenty five years, Lauren Richardson uses the desert's shifting forms as a metaphor for attachment, loss and inexorable change. North Star, by Michael C. McMillen, combines installation and film to create a madcap stream of deconstructed consciousness heading gleefully towards annihilation.

At that time, art dealer and marketer, Reeves Lewenthal organized Associated American Artists (AAA), conceived to distribute affordable, original art to every American. During their first 20 years, AAA had grown to international importance. The evidence of the cultural impact was everywhere, in the nation's homes, greeting cards and apparel.
