See an excerpt from the soon-to-be-released film First Friday, a documentary film about Oakland’s monthly street party by N’Jeri Eaton & Mario Furloni.6 pm | “Following the Thread,” by Artist-in-Residence Adele Crawford | Kimball Education Gallery
Adele Crawford’s work investigates transience and impermanence. Drawing from an ever-expanding collection of commonplace materials, she explores elements of past and present. Selecting obsolete things, such as photographs from the 1800s, vintage books, or personal papers, she alters their appearance and creates for them a new intention. Process drives her work, which is slow, reflective, and repetitive as she dissects, alters, and reconfigures.
