Opening Reception: Thursday, September 24th, 2009, 5 – 8PM
Veronica draws together artists from the United States, Germany and The Netherlands whose works involve an examination of their cultural guideposts. Tackling gender, politics, religion and identity issues, the artists freely indulge in the familiar tropes and rituals of ancient myth and magic. The result is a collection of visually compelling works that beguile with formal invention and persuade with thematic wit.

The Whole World is Watching
Glendale College Art Gallery
September 20 – November 8, 2008
curated by Irene Tsatsos
Rheim Alkadhi, Mike Arcega, Joyce Campbell, Eve Fowler, Ed Gomez, Emilie Halpern, Gustavo Herrera, Anna Sew Hoy, Olga Koumoundouras, Shana Lutker, Eamon Ore-Giron, Marco Rios, Shizu Saldamando, Maya Schindler, Joel Tauber, and Peter Wu.
The title recalls the anti-war rally in Chicago during the ’68 Democratic Convention, in which protesters chanted “the whole world is watching” as they were beaten and tear-gassed by police; by most accounts, the protests were peaceful until police initiated violence. The Whole World Is Watching will open shortly after the ’08 Democratic and Republican conventions and will end immediately following the national presidential election. The exhibition, a pre-election free-for all, is a response to current political events – it presents work that relates to the idea of taking matters into one’s own hands to affect change.

Border Myths/Border Realities
November 8 – December 16, 2007
Opening reception Novemeber 8, 6 – 8pm.
University Art Museum
California State University Long Beach
The exhibition, Border Myths/Border Realities explores multiple perspectives of the border, as well as the power dynamics that occur when borders are used to define territories or to separate nations or cultures from one another. The physical border is often utilized as a construct that underlies national and cultural identity. As a barrier between territories, its crossing can range from a bureaucratic to a dangerous encounter, yet the realities of the border become mythologized when they are represented in the media and popular culture. As scholar Irit Rogoff argues, the perception of the word “border” has developed into a set of vocabularies that includes: “border towns, ghettos, no man’s lands, and international free cities” creating cultural and political misperceptions of the border. The artists in this exhibition explore who defines the border by investigating the ways in which cultural ideologies are made invisible, and identifying how personal identity is derived from the notion of borders. Addressing multiple perspectives on the topic, using a variety of media and artistic strategies, the exhibition fragments fixed notions about the myths and realities of what borders are.
Artists included in the exhibition are: Rheim Alkadhi, Abdelali Dahrouch, Gronk, Ruben Ortiz-Torres, Eddo Stern, and Whitney Stolich. This exhibition was curated by the CSULB Museum Studies Program.
Tuesday, November 13 UAM@noon 12:15 – 1pm Gallery Talk with Rheim Alkadhi
