Each city is representative of California™s identity, and yet one is known for promoting social awareness and civic responsibility, while the other, an advertisement for self-indulgence and consumerism. This show aims to bind the two cities through setting, and a mutual interest in environment. The artists™ works do not intend to reflect SF/LA ideologies however real or imagined, instead acts as an exploration into individuality, as well as the inconsistencies of each artist and their representative city. All of the artists share a strong connection to California, and often the connection is expressed through their work. A range of disciplines will be represented including sculpture, painting, drawing, collage, poetry, and film.
