Bay Area artist Gale Antokal continues her haunting series of drawings looking at loss, and memory. In her 2004 exhibition, We are so Lightly Here, the artist delivered a vision of displacement with images of milk pouring down a flight of stairs, groups of people walking with baggage in hand, monumental mountains shrouded in snow, sledders disappearing down a hill, billowing smoke, footprints in snow, a lone skater gliding across a field of ice, and birds in chaotic flight. Her queries were eloquently posed through those drawings, "What do we leave behind to prove we have ever existed? What is left after all is taken away?"

In her current series, No Vanishing Point, Antokal reduces her visual vocabulary to a few images, the glimpse of trees in a forest, and the embattled skies filled with clouds. Her palette is muted, with icy tones of blue and grey reverberating with ghostly evanescence and collective foreboding. The allusion to loss conjures both personal, as well as environmental degradation, as endangered species disappear by the thousands. On view will be 10 chalk pastel drawings on paper, ranging from 3 feet to 7 feet.

In our project Space we invited sculptor and installation artist Sarah Wagner. Her investigations and renderings of the 'endocrine disruption theory' and her love of ecology has inspired her to explore exhibition venues as unnatural environments within which to create models for parallel worlds. The artist describes her upcoming project at PSG.

As I've thought about this project I've decided that I will build a nuclear family of deer--a father, mother, young boy and baby girl--so four deer. With the working title, Nuclear Family, I see the exhibit clean and open with emphasis on the deer forms, but with some flora coming from the floor, or from the concrete structures above, thus creating an environment for the deer. The primary material will be silk, either white, dyed or partially dyed.

Sarah Wagner's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally at Projekt 0047 (Berlin), Homie (Berlin), Museum of Craft and Folk Art , San Francisco, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco , Southern Exposure, New Langton Arts (San Francisco). She received her MFA from the California College of the Arts in 2005, and is currently an instructor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
