SUMMARY:Sin Contar Cincuenta: Miguel Arzabe Solo Show
DESCRIPTION:Johansson Projects is pleased to announce Sin Contar Cincuenta\, the third solo exhibition by Oakland-based artist Miguel Arzabe with the gallery. Arriving at a moment of heightened social and cultural reckoning\, the exhibition features a dynamic body of new weavings that reflect not only a rich “pluriverse” of influences–interpolated ways of being and expression that span the artist’s personal life\, Bolivian heritage\, and art historical precedent–but also the urgent need to honor and defend cultural plurality in today’s world. \nSin Contar Cincuenta runs from January 17 – March 21\, 2026 with an opening reception and artist talk on January 17\, from 3-5pm.\nFor all inquiries\, contact Johansson Projects at 510-444-9140  or info@johanssonprojects.com

SUMMARY:Opening Reception and Artist Talk – Dr. KC Rosenberg: Raised by Wolves
DESCRIPTION:Dr. KC Rosenberg creates her work on the floor of her studio\, where raw canvas and paper are walked on\, soaked\, and marked through movement and touch. Her background in printmaking and textiles informs a material-driven approach that values impressions\, repetition\, and layered surfaces as records of action. Lines and bands of color function as spaces where stories can unfold. In her newest series\, Rosenberg introduces narrative fragments into these abstract forms. Images and words appear like passing thoughts or half-remembered moments—sometimes humorous\, sometimes dark—forming a personal visual vocabulary. Using collage\, she brings together abstraction\, text\, and imagery to create poetic connections rather than fixed meanings. The work invites viewers to slow down\, look closely\, and make their own associations. At its core\, Rosenberg’s practice explores how memory\, language\, and the body intersect\, transforming process itself into a form of storytelling. \nBio:\nBorn in Marin County\, California\, Dr. KC Rosenberg was raised in a bohemian household shaped by intellectual rigor and domestic improvisation; while her mother worked and studied law\, Rosenberg and her siblings were cared for by a shifting network of caretakers\, an environment whose chaos fostered early strategies of invention through imagined companions\, substitute characters\, and close observation of animal behavior. In 2021\, medical complications during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a significant shift in her practice toward abstraction\, reducing narrative certainty and temporarily setting aside personal history\, which later returned as material rather than subject; these formative experiences now register in her work as form and emotional traces rather than representation. Rosenberg has exhibited with Patricia Sweetow Gallery\, and her work is held in the collections of the California Arts Council and the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. She holds an Ed.D. and conducts social research on collective mentorship systems among artists. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, February 21\, 3 – 5 pm\, artist talks at 4:00 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, March 6\, 5 – 9 pm \nImage: KC Rosenberg\, Backfloat\, 2026\, from Raised By Wolves Series\, Acrylic paint and fabric collage on wooden panel 24” x 36”

SUMMARY:Opening Reception and Artist Talk – Christine Meuris: Wellspring
DESCRIPTION:Using silk thread and simple motifs\, Christine Meuris has created a series of semitransparent weavings that reflect feelings of harmony\, joy\, flow\, and wholeness. In 2023\, Meuris began studying weaving as a way to deepen and ground her creative practice. Working with weaving teacher Travis Meinolf\, at the Richmond Art Center and at his eponymous weaving school in Marin County\, Meuris was influenced by Meinolf’s judgment-free and open minded approach to weaving\, a practice that can otherwise become exacting. After a period of experimentation\, Meuris settled on a simple weaving technique — using plain weave with supplemental weft to construct imagery. In her weavings\, Meuris returns to the font of her creativity\, the work that steadies her in calm or tumultuous times\, repeating simple steps to build something greater than the sum of its parts. \nBio:\nMercury 20 member Christine Meuris lives and works in Berkeley\, CA. She has shown her work in solo and group shows locally\, notably at the Berkeley Art Center\, San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles\, and Mercury 20 Gallery\, and in group shows around the U.S. She was a resident artist at Kala Institute in 2023 and was the inaugural Digital Artist in Residence at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles (SJMQT) in 2020. Her work has appeared in the Surface Design Journal\, Fiber Art Now\, and the Textile Society of America News\, and is included in the collections of the City of Berkeley\, SJMQT\, Kaiser Permanente\, and Four Seasons Residences SF\, as well as several private collections. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, February 21\, 3 – 5 pm\, artist talks at 4:00 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, March 6\, 5 – 9 pm\nWeaving Demonstrations: Saturdays\, February 14\, March 7\, 14\, 21 @ 1:30 \nImage: Christine Meuris\, Upwelling I\, 2025\, commercially and naturally dyed silk\, 29 h x 24 w inches\, photo credit: Mark Serr

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:Artist's Talk - Frank D. Cole: The House Inside
DESCRIPTION:Frank Cole Artist’s Talk\, April 18th starting at 2 pm.\nExhibition on view through April 25th. \nFrank D. Cole will discuss his work on view in “The House Inside” at Transmission Gallery\, starting at 2 pm\, Saturday\, April 18th. \nFramed by porches\, window casings\, and thresholds\, Cole’s paintings position the viewer in an interior space\, looking outward. Beams\, panes\, and floorboards divide and measure the picture plane acting as armatures for recollection\, holding in place fleeting impressions of light on water\, wind through tall grass\, or rain dissolving a stand of trees. The result is both architectural and narrative\, emerging as quiet meditations on place and time\, imbued with tranquility.  \nSee the work through April 25th. With concurrent solo shows\, more artwork on view in the Gallery Office and GearBox Gallery just downstairs\, Transmission Gallery is an unexpected art oasis upstairs in the “ART” building at 770 West Grand Ave. in West Oakland.
