Opening Saturday "Rope and Revolver: Artists Respond to Frederic Remington’s ‘The Broncho Buster’" Sandow Birk, Michael Goldin, Charles Lee, Deborah Oropallo, Andy Rappaport, Stephanie Syjuco, Wanxin Zhang On view January 18 - March 15, 2025 Opening reception: Saturday, January 18 from 3 - 5pm; remarks at 4pm Catharine Clark Gallery opens its 2025 program with "Rope and Revolver: Artists Respond to Frederic Remington’s ‘The Broncho Buster.’" The exhibition’s title references the work of American artist Frederic Remington (1861–1909), whose paintings, sculptures, and bronzes glorified Manifest Destiny as a form of heroism and westward expansion into unceded territory as a “birthright” of White Americans. While largely understood in a cultural or art historical context, Remington’s work is closely tied to the political project of American imperialism. The works in "Rope and Revolver" are not a direct response to Remington, though many of the projects on view take the likeness of his iconic bronze "The Broncho Buster" and dissect and parody its form. Instead, the seven artists featured in the exhibition take the ethos of Remington’s work as a point of departure to debunk the frontier narrative as a form of mythmaking. Through their respective mediums—video, photography, installation, sculpture, and painting—the artists in Rope and Revolver ask deep questions about what it means to be an American and how we can collectively imagine a more inclusive future.

Let’s hope this, too, is another good sign. Not just the post, but the comments. The self-serving technology leaders who seek “less regulation” are looking to profiteer quickly, whether Pharma or rockets, and do not want to see, face, or consider implications. And they are big, right? Whether Musk or Andreessen. I mean, fox guarding the hen house much? ????♂? Here’s hoping that deep-pocketed minority remains just that, no matter how much they try to use dollars and fear advertising to sway a larger electorate. And here’s to hope ???? Thank you David Hornik

On Tuesday, October 8 at 7pm, Catharine Clark Gallery, working in conjunction with the University of California San Francisco’s Orlo H. Clark Lectureship, will host a special ticketed lecture delivered by Brian Dolan PhD, Professor and Chair in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at UCSF. The talk will be held at the gallery (248 Utah Street, San Francisco). Suggested donation: $5 (no one turned away for lack of funds). Annually, the Orlo H. Clark Lectureship invites a speaker to deliver a lecture in honor of Dr. Orlo H. Clark (1941 -2022). Physicians and medical faculty at UCSF attend the talk at 7 am at the Parnassus campus. In 2023, in an effort to expand access to the talk, Catharine Clark Gallery began hosting the speaker at 7 pm at the gallery on the evening before the lecture at the university. Past speakers have included prominent scientists, physicians, and artists whose research, interests, and work explore the intersections between science, medicine, and the arts.
