Works presents “School of the Adjusted Plan”, paintings and mixed media
works by Iva Gueorguieva, April 4 - May 2 with a reception Friday, April 4, 6-8 PM. Gueorguieva’s features work exploring the relationship between abstraction and figuration; marks accumulate to produce sensual surfaces and spaces, revealing the contours of various characters, some grotesque and vile, others superbly tranquil in their dismembered and tattered states. There are maps of bodies: convulsing, desiring, sometimes in need of repair by means of stitching and bandaging. “Forest” a hand-worked print created in the on-site Electric Works print studio will display the interaction of the artist and the digital medium. In addition, Gueorguieva is creating with artist Matt McGavey—her long time collaborator and husband—a large mural which will incorporate a sound and video component. |

With writer David Cull, Gueorguieva is collaborating and illustrating “Speed-Hump Adjusters” which will be published and exhibited by Electric Works. It is a story set in a small, generic community with an overcontrolling neighborhood council, that follows the residents' interactions with their latest device for control: adjustable speed-humps. Original drawings as well as the completed manuscript will be on display. Gueorguieva was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. She received her B.A. in Philosophy from Goucher College in Baltimore, and her M.F.A. from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. She has had numerous successful exhibitions including in 2007 at the Pomona College Museum of Art in Claremont and at Carl Berg Gallery in Los Angeles This is her first solo exhibition in the Bay Area. |

| STOP AND GO Kissing hats, elephants driving, a man who turns into the sun, and dinosaurs roaming the countryside rarely happen in real life, but at the stop-motion film screening called Stop & Go on April 5 at 8 PM, all of this will become ordinary. Established filmmakers and visual artists will use stop-motion techniques to tell stories, examine visual phenomena, and make political statements in a collection of short videos. The line-up of videos includes both local and international artists and is curated by Bay Area artist and animator Sarah Klein. THE NEW DEAL In conjuction with 75th Anniversary of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, Electric Works will present prints and historical photographs of the WPA murals by Maurice del Mue. The anniversary is an important time to focus attention on the WPA legacy and its important contribution to the cultural life of our country. In our project room, we will feature a print of the recently restored mural at the San Geronimo Valley Community Center. You can learn more about how the sale of these prints helped finance the restoration of the SGVCC mural: http://www.sgvcc.org/artsevent Also on display will be the a print that is being sold to help fund the restoration of the Del Mue mural at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley.
