The Richmond Art Center

Artist reception: Saturday June 20, 3-6 pm
Artist tour & BBQ: 2-5 pm, July 11, $5 donation.
Come earlier for the RAC annual membership meeting,1pm

What are the true parameters of art? In the spirit of serious play the RAC
is proud to present Kurt Wold’s metaphoric inventions and the intertwined
creations of Clayton and Betty Bailey.

Machinations: Kurt Wold

Kurt Wold presents some of the wackiest functional human powered machines
since Orville and Wilbur turned the bicycle into an airplane. Wold’s kinetic
installations are well-crafted meditations on man and the machine and serve
as metaphors for life’s precariousness.

Robots and watercolors: Clayton and Betty Bailey

Clayton Bailey has chosen from his vast collection of whimsical, ironic
robotic collections some of the most amazing creations that ever used to be
a teapot, lava lamp or electric drill. His figurative or beastly sculptures
don’t hold anything back: they stir confusion and infuse the serious gallery
space with light-heartedness. Betty Bailey documents her life with Clayton
and delineates a pantheon of West Coast artists at work and play.

Coming up next month:

Alan Osborne: Expressionist Enamels July 29th- August 29th
Artist reception: August 8th 3-5pm
