Home Sweet Home: Shahrbanoo Hamzeh 
January 7 – February 19  
Preston Jackson Gallery

Exploring what occurs behind closed doors in melancholy but colorful paintings, Iranian artist Shahrbanoo Hamzeh suggests that our bodies, domestic spaces and home countries function as three parallel homes on different levels. Seeing parallels between the levels makes the suffering of displacement tangible.

Roger Bean & Chuck Flagg
January 7 – February 19  
Gallery 3R

From an early age, both Roger and Chuck took an interest in alternative photographic processes. Chuck was attracted to analog processes, like pinhole cameras. Roger worked most often with digital processes and print manipulation, like toning and dye transfers. Roger and Chuck met in 1969 as student and teacher respectively at IVC High School. Over the next 40 years, they developed a great friendship. This effort is their third collaborative exhibition.
