Collage: ForumDaily

What: Bricolage photo exhibition

When: Friday, July 9, from 09: 00

Where: Andrea Schwartz Gallery 545 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94107

More: Kara Barer begins her photographic process with books, sometimes using other types of paper in her work, such as maps, newspapers, travel photographs and phone books. By folding, coloring and manipulating pages, it gives objects new shapes. Thanks to her captured image, the artist can give new life to old books and papers.

Rather than looking for new materials, Barer was tasked with using what she had at hand due to the limitations of the pandemic. Fortunately, over the years of collecting a huge number of books and articles, the artist has found what she needs to start creating. Barer experimented with a variety of techniques, texts, textures and colors to create Bricolage, a vibrant and uplifting piece that overcomes the hardships of the past year.

What: Exhibition about color "Bird in a cage"

When: Friday-Sunday, July 9-11

Where: Exploratorium, Pier 15, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111

More: Ghostly colored images of parrots will show so-called afterimages, which are the result of the adaptation of color-sensitive eye cells.

There are three types of color-sensitive cones in the eyes, each of which reacts to reddish, greenish, or bluish light. When you look at a red parrot, your red-sensitive cones get used to the image and stop responding as strongly. When you suddenly look at a white background, the relatively strong response of your blue and green cones creates an image of a blue-green parrot.

Likewise, looking at a blue-green parrot will give you an image of a red parrot. Typically, when looking at any color, an afterimage is formed that is the complement or opposite of that color.

Cost: $ 0-30
