Porter Hall Gallery, Tucson Botanical Gardens Adam Block | Miwa Block Wednesday 04/11/12 12:00 AM at Botanical Gardens
Adam Block | Miwa Block
April 11 through May 28
Husband and wife team, Adam and Miwa Block definitely possess passionate connections to the universe, with celestial objects appearing as prominent figures in both their work.
Adam, a renowned astrophotographer, spends his nights at the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter giving presentations to the public, spreading excitement about the night sky. Where his voice fades, his images soar, making tangible the previously mysterious, through up-close representations of stars, nebulae and galaxies that call the universe their home.
That universe, which the earth inhabits, is the place where Miwa's work skyrockets. Her play on the disconnection between people and space create a surreal tension suggestive of the mystic themes of Remedios Varo. The paintings comment on that disconnection by illuminating small earth objects grandly while cosmological beings are contained to an attainable scale, revealing a relationship that might otherwise be dismissed.

Speaking in Tongues: Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken, 1961-1976 Tuesday 03/27/12 12:00 AM at Center for Creative Photography
Speaking in Tongues: Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken, 1961-1976 brings two seminal yet under-studied Los Angeles artists into close conversation with one another for the first time. The archive of Robert Heinecken resides at the Center for Creative Photography and this is the first major exhibition of his work to be shown at the Center. Organized by the curatorial team of Claudia Bohn-Spector and Sam Mellon, with supporting research by Carolyn Peter, this exhibition examines how these two artists bridged modernist and emerging post-modernist trends by ushering in the use of photography as a key element of contemporary avant-garde art. Focusing on language and the creation of new visual codes, as well as on the little-known friendship between Berman and Heinecken, their works are explored within the unique cultural milieu of 1960s and 1970s Southern California, as it fueled and amplified each artist's highly original approach to making images.
