SUMMARY:Artist's Talk - Kristie Hansen: Alternation
DESCRIPTION:Kristie Hansen Artist’s Talk: Saturday\, April 11th starting at 1 pm. \nMark your calendar and please join us for the Artist’s Talk\, Saturday\, April 11th. Starting at 1 pm\, San Francisco-based conceptual artist\, Kristie Hansen will discuss the evolution of her art practice and her approach to developing her work. \nNow on view in the Small Space at Transmission\, Alternation includes 20 pieces from Kristie Hansen’s recent Parts of a Whole series in which she sourced discarded garments and accessories to construct multiple sculptural works that retain traces of their earlier life while becoming something satisfyingly new\, as if they were always meant to attain these new forms. \nIn this way\, Alternation approaches personal history not as something fixed\, but as material that can be continually rearranged—an evolving structure shaped by resilience\, adaptation\, and persistence over time. See the work at Transmission Gallery through April 18th\, Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays\, 12-5 pm.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception – Group Show: Material Differences
DESCRIPTION:Leigh Barbier\, Jessika Cadkin\, Laura Malone\, Christine Meuris\nThe four artists featured in Material Differences work in painting\, sculpture\, and weaving. Considered together\, their works draw attention to the ways texture\, material choice\, and scale shape the dynamics of the exhibition.\nLeigh Barbier’s series Under the Influence features ceramic heads informed by her intuitive drawing process: pieces created during moments of inspiration\, anxiety\, or relief. They capture glimpses of an idea\, feeling\, or dream; fragments of her imagination.\nJessica Cadkin’s sculpture\, Cavity\, depicts a large‑scale molar\, reflecting a lifelong fascination with her teeth and her aversion to dentist visits. Her work explores the tension between attraction and repulsion\, presenting the tooth as something both familiar and unsettling.\nExamining human subjectivity\, Laura Malone’s paintings traverse a range of emotional landscapes. From jubilant bursts of vermilion in one piece to gentle splashes of gray in another\, Malone invites viewers to gambol here\, only to rest in stillness there.\nChristine Meuris’s pieces are examples of overshot weaving\, in which a contrasting pattern thread is interwoven with the structural plain weave threads; and the process of inlay\, in which areas of pattern are placed only where the weaver wants them. For Meuris\, making them was an experiment in layering structures of form and pattern. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, April 3\, May 1\, 5 – 9 pm \nImage: Left to right\, Leigh Barbier\, Under the Influence (WIP)\, Ceramics\, 5″x5″x3″\, 2026; Laura Malone\, Fire Season\, Oil on Linen\, 40″x40″\, 2026; Christine Meuris\, Balance\, Woven Cotton\, 2 panels at 48″x19″ each\, 2024; all photos courtesy of the artists

SUMMARY:Opening Reception – Alec Marin: All That You Change/Changes You
DESCRIPTION:All That You Change/Changes You is a collection of work centered around Alec Marin’s life: painter\, scientist\, and Chicano from the South Texas border. Each piece is an exploration of some dimension of his varied interests and lived experience\, from the perceptual distortions that occur during the phases of intoxication to the hidden reality of racial and economic segregation along the Mexican American border. Recent work focuses on his read of the foundational principles of Mexica (Aztec) philosophy\, their symbols and spiritual practices within a contemporary framework. His two latest paintings build upon this by framing the images as the prophetic dreams of an ancestor whose life and works would catalyze the culture and religion of the Mexica people.\n\nBio:\nAlec Marin is an artist and neuroscientist based in Oakland\, California. His work has been published at knowingneurons.com and “The Beat\,” an art and literature journal published by The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His work has been exhibited at the Fremont Art Association’s Annual Art Show; “Beyond Boundaries\,” a juried exhibition at the Mercury 20 Gallery; and “Ripples” group exhibition at the UCSF School of Law. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, April 3\, May 1\, 5 – 9 pm \nImage: Alec Marin\, “Reseeding the Garden\,” Oil on Canvas\, 36″x 48″\, 2025\, photo courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:Opening Reception – Andrea Guskin: Signals Beneath The Surface
DESCRIPTION:The networks beneath our forest floors—where tree roots and mycorrhizal fungi share sustenance and signals through intertwined subterranean paths—served as a source of inspiration for Andrea Guskin’s exhibition\, Signals Beneath the Surface. This new work continues her exploration of scientific discovery as a metaphor\, using metal paintings and photographic processes to investigate themes of ancestry\, memory\, and interconnection.\nThread\, found objects\, and imprints of Guskin’s body on the metal paintings translate concealed activity into form\, mapping the connections that sustain life below ground and above it.\nWithin this exhibition\, she presents work from her recent project Local Roots\, a photo-based community arts project centered on ancestral relationships to herbs and spices\, and a new site-specific collaborative installation created with local artists Courtney Griffith and Yaminah Abdur-Rahim. \nBio:\nAndrea Guskin is a San Francisco Bay Area based artist working across the disciplines of photography\, sculpture\, and painting. She began drawing by pillaging her father’s office supplies for fine-tipped pens and yellow legal pads\, filling them with figures while lounging on a 1970s shag carpet in Kenosha\, Wisconsin. After studying painting at Antioch College in Ohio\, Guskin moved to New York City and became a part of the arts community on the Lower East Side. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2003\, she has exhibited her work throughout the state\, including at the Richmond Art Center\, Berkeley Art Center\, and Red Poppy Art House. She graduated with an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Mills College at Northeastern University in April of 2023. Guskin lives in San Leandro with her husband and two sons. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, April 3\, May 1\, 5 – 9 pm\nJoin Andrea Guskin in a participatory activity centered around ancestry on First Friday\, April 3\, 6:30-7:30 pm \nImage: Andrea Guskin\, “Radial Expansion” (Detail)\, Acrylic paint on Cinefoil\, 2026\, photo courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:Artist Reception: Gina Gaiser - Built Different
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the reception of Built Different\, a series of black-and-white urban studies that examines the constructed world through a distinctly attuned lens. In these photographs\, Gina Gaiser documents brick facades\, graffiti\, industrial textures\, and architectural grids—evidence of how humans have reshaped and engineered their environment. Working in monochrome\, she strips away distraction to foreground repetition\, geometry\, and contrast. Individual images are brought together to form converging patterns\, reflecting a way of seeing that gravitates toward structure and system. What may appear chaotic or incidental resolves into rhythm and order. In Built Different\, the title operates on multiple levels: the city is built\, the environment is built\, and the mind observing it is built differently. The work suggests that difference in perception is not a flaw but a precision\, and an ability to recognize pattern\, coherence\, and design embedded within the grit of the everyday. \nBuilt Different\nNew Work by Gina Gaiser\nApril 3 – May 9\, 2026\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3-5 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, April 3 & May 1\, 5-8 pm

SUMMARY:WOMEN IN CARS – new works by Erin McCluskey-Wheeler
DESCRIPTION:women\nin\ncars\nby\nErin McCluskey Wheeler \nopening at Mighty Mighty Studio\nApril 11th\nSaturday\n4:00 – 6:00 \nWomen in Cars \nis an ongoing series a decade in the making\, exploring escapism\, longing\, and the quietly unresolved moments of a woman’s inner life. Each painting begins with a vintage car advertisement\,  collaged directly onto the canvas\, \nbefore Erin paints a new and uncertain world around the driver. Where is she going? She may never arrive. And perhaps that is exactly the point. \nEach piece is presented in a vintage frame personally collected and paired by the artist\, making every work a singular and complete object.
