Installation for Aron Goldberg: A Life in Self Portraits was moving along smoothly -- until yesterday, that is, when I went to Aron's studio to make one last search for an oil painting that seems to have disappeared. I didn't find the painting, but I un-jammed a flat file drawer and discovered 51 more self portraits!! They are all works on paper, in a variety of media, mostly from the late 90's through 2006. A frantic, but excited phone call to co-curator Nicholette Kominos ensued, as did some reshuffling of schedules -- it should be an interesting few days as we decide what to do with the new find. The exhibition opens on Sunday, September 13, 2-5pm and I hope to see you all there. . .

Offramp Gallery is pleased to present a very special exhibition, Aron Goldberg: A Life in Self Portraits, from September 13 – October 25, 2009, with an opening reception for the artist on Sunday, September 13, 2-5pm.
Aron Goldberg: A Life in Self Portraits consists of more than 70 self portraits, covering a time span from the mid-1950’s to the present. Presented in loosely chronological order, the work follows Los Angeles-based Goldberg from a young man doing formal oil paintings, through his artistic peak and deep disaffection with the contemporary art world in the 1980’s, through the slow decline of the last few years due to aging and illness.
In conjunction with the exhibition and Offramp Gallery, Media For a Better Planet is producing an eponymous documentary. Media for a Better Planet is a new production company formed to create socially-conscious films and documentaries. Filming is ongoing and footage will be shown at Mr. Goldberg's opening at Offramp Gallery on Sunday, September 13th, 2009.
Aron Goldberg: A Life in Self Portraits is co-curated by Offramp Gallery director, Jane Chafin and artist, Nicholette Kominos.

Notes (& Gossip)
|
|
I'm fresh out of gossip this month, so I thought I would share a recipe with you. Despite my lack of a green thumb, our heirloom tomatoes flourished this summer. Offramp artist Anita Bunn suggested I try this simple and delicious dish. Slice tomatoes and place them in a baking dish. Sprinkle with fresh chopped oregano, a little pepper, and cover with crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle a little olive oil on top and pop them in the broiler for about 10 minutes. Serve warm with bread or toast. We tried a few variations, adding garlic, chives and/or basil. All were delicious. Bon appetit!
