The Electric Womb
Exhibition
July 7 to Sept 29, 2023
“We all come from the womb, these are our stories.” That is the simple, straightforward theme of
this show which is full of narratives. It is the art which communicates the
story, but also the poetry that accompanies these images and which ties them
together. Although boys are born, of course, all the artists in this exhibition
are “womyn”, including Gwyn Henry, Jill Badonsky, Kelly Bowen with Anna Zappoli, Debbie
Solan, Kira
Carrillo Corser, Marjorie Pezzoli,
Tish Ince, Deborah Ramos, and Tara Graviss, whose works
are illustrated in this article.
One of my favorite poems by Anna Zappoli is not included in
the show, but the simple words open up so many possibilities and that is the
essence of good art:
Fresh Butter
fresh butter
on a plate
a kiss
and
a
lie
Deborah Ramos and Marjorie Pezzoli are co-curators of this
particular Electric Show. Future shows will include The Electric Blender, an
all-inclusive show and The Electric Crayon, a children's show. You can listen
to the Electric Womb beginning stories and hear some poetry on this video.

Mark Siprut

The works in this show are great expressions of the vibrancy and happiness that movement bestows to us in life. But what I really enjoyed was the dance between the two artists. Both are jokesters and this exhibition is full of those moments of glee. Larry Caveney is famous for his series, Grown Men Dancing and Mark Siprut’s game with a aim to shoot a target to his heart was made to be impossible to win. |

Una Storia Segreta: When Italian Americans Were "Enemy Aliens," curated by Dr. Lawrence DiStasi and Dr. Rose Scherini was a revelation to me. I had no idea that Italian American in WWII underwent internment and were watched. The show not only shows their struggles but also some of resilience and ability to cope.

Exhibitions at Liberty Station are plentiful. There are
many, many more artists’ studios that are open on the first Friday of every month
and it is fun to walk through and meet these creative souls who also are
serving up little trays of treats. One example is the Five Art Gallery and Studio,
started by 5 women artists but housing 6 who work and show together to create
their mini-community.

We really enjoyed these mini ArtWalk Liberty Station
Summer Series events. They take place at the Liberty Station North
Promenade surrounded by lovely shade trees and contain just enough booths with
a variety of medium to satisfy, but not too many to overwhelm. And so yes, you
should promenade on down and take a gander.
Remember ArtWalk Liberty Station is August 5-6, 2023 from 10AM to 6PM
Sat. 10AM to 5PM Sun. and ArtWalk Carlsbad is Sept 9-10 at the same time.  |
