Opening Reception | Sculpture: Yoram Wolberger's Cowboys & Indians


The first solo exhibition of San Francisco-based artist, Yoram Wolberger, based on the widely familiar toy figurines with which Wolberger played during his youth, and invites viewers to consider the manufacturing of common cultural stereotypes. Faithfully reproducing the seemingly innocent figurines at life size proportions with all their original design “flaws” intact, the artist compels us to reexamine the cultural attitudes implied by such distorted portrayals.

Concert | Brazilian Power Samba: Pe De Boi


The pulsating rhythms of Pe De Boi – the power samba band - have electrified the New York club scene since 1980. Band founder and leader Guilherme Franco – a native of Brazil, a veteran of the McCoy Tyner group, and one of the leading jazz percussionists in the world – named his group for a Brazilian slang term whose literal translation is the “foot of an ox” but whose real meaning is a musician with a great sense of rhythm. Their unique sound, intricate rhythms and contagious high spirits have been turning on audiences and making people move and groove from the very first beat of the music.

Concert | Experimental Music: Portugal. The Man


What is it about Portugal. The Man that makes them stand out, that separates them from every other rock band? Is it due to an unconventional upbringing in the magical and menacing tundra of the Land of the Northern Lights? Maybe it has something to do with their visceral live shows, their effortless ability to create concert experiences that differ wildly from night to night. Or perhaps it's due to the bond they actively forge with their ever-growing fan base evidenced by their showing up to in-store signings, radio stations or interviews with personalized paintings for their supporters. Opening is Alberta Cross.
