About the Gallery

Saddleback Art Gallery is a non-profit gallery dedicated primarily to education, the enrichment of student learning, and elevating the cultural landscape of our community. Our Art Gallery provides students and South Orange County an important outlet for creative expression in traditional and contemporary art through exhibitions, visiting artist lectures, workshops, and special events.

The gallery is an integral part of the instructional program and regarded as a learning lab and extension of the classroom.
Students can enroll in ARTH 100 - Art Gallery Display & Exhibition Design, and learn how to plan, design, and implement gallery exhibitions.

Saddleback College Art Gallery presents Two Birds; One Stone, a collection of works by artist duo, RoCoCo.

The collaborative works by Bay Area artists Dr. KC Rosenberg and Modesto Covarrubias are, in many ways, conversations and exchanges of ideas between the two artists made tangible and tactile. The artists intentionally blur the lines of authorship in the art objects they create, at times passing them back and forth (as they did during the lockdown of the pandemic) and working together in each other’s studios to complete pieces. Both are mutually drawn to the ability of materials to transform and reassign meaning, not just in their assembly, but also in the space they occupy. Physical manifestations of forgiveness, expressing the anxieties of gentrification, or highlighting the way certain groups are systematically silenced are just some of the topics expressed in the work.

DETAILS:

Show runs: Sept. 17th – Nov. 12th

Opening reception: Friday, Sept. 17th, 4-7 pm

Gallery Hours: Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri. 12-5pm (closed Wednesdays and weekends)

Saddleback College Art Gallery in collaboration with the Recology Artist in Residence (AIR) Program is excited to announce Recalled to Nature, a virtual exhibition celebrating 30 years of artworks from this unique program where art is produced from discarded materials collected at the Recology San Francisco Transfer Station (“the dump”). The Recology AIR Program, founded by artist Jo Hansen in 1990, is dedicated to raising awareness around recycling and conserving our natural resources while promoting new ways of thinking about art and the environment.

Special thanks to the students in ARTH100: Art Gallery Display & Exhibition, who helped shape the exhibition and to student Sam Glaraga in particular for creating the show title.

Victor Yañez-Lazcano is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin. Inspired by oral history and first-hand accounts, his practice explores notions of identity in relation to place, time, language, and labor. Early works prioritize large format color photography, comprised of portraiture and still lifes, to poetically investigate the varying degrees of assimilation occurring throughout his family. More recent works utilize sound, sculpture, performance, and installation to interrogate the roles language and labor have played in both the formation of and perception of US-Latinx-immigrant, and subsequent generations’, identities.
