LA JOLLA — The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. will host the David Adey: John Henry exhibit in its Main Gallery Feb. 27 through April 3 with an opening reception 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 26. Admission is free.
“All art is made out of things,” rising artist Adey said. “All things are made out of stuff. All stuff is made from other stuff.” Adey will transform the Main Gallery space, in a tribute to some of the Athenaeum’s favorite “stuff,” books.
In the Athenaeum’s Rotunda Gallery will be Charlie Miller: Anything but Rehab Feb. 27 through April 3 with the opening reception 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 26. Admission is free.
Los Angeles-based artist Charlie Miller will exhibit Anything but Rehab, a new series of paintings. Miller is currently working on these in his Sherman Heights studio, a former pharmacy which came replete with two decades of medical ephemera from the 1950s and 60s. He uses acrylics, collaged with vintage prescriptions and modern advertisements.
In the North Reading Room will be selections from the Athenaeum’s Erika and Fred Torri Artists’ Books Collection: Mary Ellen Long books Feb. 27 through April 3, with the opening reception 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 26. Admission is free.
Long is an artist and bookmaker from Durango, Colo., who has exhibited previously in the Main Gallery, in 1993 and 1997. She has created a prolific body of work including limited-edition books, maps with text, installations, and sculptural interventions inspired by her forest environment in Durango.
