Inspired by the fascinating history of mesmerism, this show will explore the captivating realms of hypnotism, celestial influence, and magnetic allure. Franz Anton Mesmer, a German physician with an interest in astronomy, proposed the theory of “animal magnetism,” suggesting a natural energy transfer among objects, later known as mesmerism. Mesmer’s controversial ideas gained considerable traction from around 1780 to 1850 and continued to influence thought until the late 19th century. The term “hypnotism” became used as a derivative of animal magnetism, and today, the term mesmorize often serves as a synonym for “hypnosis.”
Experience this curious collection of alluring array of artworks in a variety of media where the hypnotic spells and celestial bodies in the enigmatic world of mesmerism await you. Join us for this exciting invitational show featuring a curated roster of artists as they pay homage to the timeless legacy of mesmerism.
Line Addicts is a Hi-Fructose curated art exhibition focusing on artists who work predominantly with the painted, sculpted or drawn line. The often obsessive and meditative nature of their mark making is evident in their one of a kind fine art works. Line Addicts operate in a post pop/post super flat mind set to create fine art that is eye-splitting, bold, with a graphic aesthetic that is fueled by many stimuli, including contemporary, psychedelic, pop, folk, patterns, street, and even modern abstract art.

The Drawing Room Annex presents “Future Tense” With this show we are revisiting a theme that we addressed back in October 2020 at our very first Drawing Room Annex, at the height of the COVID pandemic and in the midst of a very fraught presidential election.
Now, four years later, we want to ask artists to respond to how they are feeling in this current moment, in a time of yet another contentious and polarizing presidential election. This is against the backdrop of serious global conflict, a rise in authoritarian regimes, devastating climate change and the reversal of established civil rights. As you look ahead to the coming year, what do you envision? Generational change? Hope? Despair? Progress? Peace? Conflict? (Dis)Empowerment?
Game of Shrooms is a once a year world-wide art ‘N’ seek event created by Attaboy. The next Game of Shrooms happens on June 8th, 2024. On that day, artists from all over the world hide their original mushroom-themed art works in public places then they give hints (often on social media) for others to find AND KEEP!
“Wild In The Streets” is a duo exhibition of two Bay Area artists we’ve long felt were destined to be in a show together. Featuring the off-the-wall, hyper detailed collages and papier-mâché sculptures of Andrea Bergen, and the anthropomorphic (and often surreal) animals of John Casey—these joined bodies of work come together to envision a world where people are all but gone and the animals have taken back over and assumed human roles. Falling somewhere between a rumination on the environmental impact of consumer culture, and a celebratory spree of nature’s reclamation, this show reaches a degree of full-on mayhem that won’t soon be forgotten.
Faultline 8×10 is Faultline Artspace‘s grand ten year anniversary of our first 8×10 show. Many of the artists have returned, alongside with some fresh faces. All art is on 8×10 panels or canvas, and the variety in styles and subject matters is quite stunning!
