GATES OF VENICE, CA
Susan Rennie
Following a detailed map, Susan visited every street in Venice to document their gates. Venetians old and new have erected a dazzling bricolage of gateways to their properties, a miscellany that mirrors all of the characteristics of Venice itself: artistic, eccentric, inventive, charming, off-beat, whimsical, artful. The show includes 40 of Susan's favorite gates.
Opens with Artist's Reception on Saturday, July 14, 6:30-9pm
