**Opening Reception: Saturday, November 17, 2007, 6-8PM, FREE**
On view from November 17, 2007—January 13, 2008, Glass Love: Contemporary Art and Surf examines how and why a growing group of younger artists reference not only the visual language but also the philosophy and lifestyle of surfing in their artistic practice. No longer relegated to a few beach communities, surf culture has captivated international audiences, producing a significant body of scholarship and documentation about the sport, its history and genesis, and the philosophies of its participants. Artists in this exhibition—Chris Ballantyne, Amy Bird, Libby Black, Brian Calvin, Cassandra C. Jones, Catherine Opie, Aaron Parazette, Bruno Peinado, and Joni Sternbach—reference the sustained relationship of surfing and art to explore themes of individuality, mediation and Zen philosophy, and popular culture.
