VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

Inman Gallery presents Dario Robleto: Some Longings Survive Death, an Inman Gallery production at 3917 Main St, on view  October 31 - December 31, 2009, open Saturdays and by appointment.

Some Longings Survive Death at 3917 Main unites Dario Robleto's sculptures from two museum exhibitions for the first time. The eight large-scale works on view were developed for two unique, site-inspired exhibitions: Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet (Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; and Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA) and (Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA). Presented together for the first time, the sculptures trace the limits of mortality and extinction. Robleto proposes regenerative narratives, mixing natural history and tokens of desire into remedies for the inevitable losses of time. (Glasstire)
