After Life: Fernando Orellana and Al Honig in SF Weekly

The fascination with the prospect of life after death had motivated artists since time immemorial, from outright hucksters like Todd Burpo (Heaven is For Real) to cerebral auteurs like Stanley Kubrick. The Mission’s Incline Gallery and guest curator Valerie Leavy have put together a two-person exhibit that examines the hereafter, through the lens of artists Fernando Orellana (based in Troy, N.Y.) and Al Honig (who lives and works in San Francisco).

Nicole Aptekar: New/Exploration/Paper

August 12, 2011 – September 24, 2011
Opening Friday, August 12, 7-10pm

SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 24, 2011- Satellite66, the newest business to open on 6th Street in San Francisco, will debut its exhibition series on August 12, 2011 with works by Nicole Aptekar. An opening reception will be held from 7-10pm, and is free and open to the public.

Aptekar explores 3-dimensionality with stacks of laser-cut paperboard. Her laser-cut sculpture-objects show no evidence of the artist’s hand. First designed as virtual 3D objects in CAD software, and then translated into 2D layers of laser-cut bristol board that the artist stacks, the emphasis is on clean design and perfect, machine-executed manufacture. The effect is a sculpting of space.
