ArtSlant maintains a calendar of exhibits and events in each ArtSlant city.
A rich resource for the artist, the collector, the curator and the art lover.
The Lower Level features sculpture and video by John Colle Rogers. "Shelf Life" is an ongoing series of small vignettes made of objects found on the streets of Oakland. It is a way of reckoning with the consumption and expulsion of objects, and an attempt at making precious that, which has been forgotten. "Oakland Flow" is a video exploring different modes of transportation around the city. Focusing primarily on the freeways, the video delves into the sound and movement above and below the concrete maze. Special thank you to Aaron C. Strickler and Mary C. Wilson for video collaboration.
John Colle Rogers is a sculptor living in Oakland, CA. He graduated with an MFA from California College of Arts and Crafts. His work is primarily an indulgent critique, dealing satirically with the excesses of the military/industrial complex, real estate development, and the art market. Past shows have included the Grey Invaders ( a series of dioramas detailing the failed takeover of the US by unknown forces), the JohnKo series (showing how he would redevelop various art venues and art schools as live/work or military installations), and metal work created with traditional blacksmithing and firearms.
