Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi Hosts Art Opening Of Riley McFerrin's Work April 21, 2006

On Friday, April 21, 2006, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi hosts the monthly Third Friday?s Art Reception in his City Hall office, Room 282. In honor of the 35th Anniversary of Earth Day taking place on April 22, this month?s featured artist is Riley McFerrin.

In this new body of work titled "Let Outside Inside", San Francisco artist Riley McFerrin takes a closer look at the growing divide between people and nature by combining both naturally occurring and synthetic materials in unexpected and symbolic ways.

This body of work evokes our awkward and often helpless interactions with nature, and contemplates life in an age where our tools of survival are no longer as closely connected to the natural world as they used to be.

Riley McFerrin's studio is located in Hayes Valley. His works have been featured at the Bucheon Gallery, the Low Gallery, Thoreau Gallery, and the Tinhorn Gallery, in San Francisco.

Please join Supervisor Mirkarimi in celebrating Earth Day with San Francisco artist Riley McFerrin.
