Katie Crown, Locomotion, 37 x 30"

Coinciding with the grand opening of Santa Monica’s new Expo Line, TAG Gallery presents In Transit, a group show exploring the significance behind the process of “transition”.

Pam Douglas, The Horizon Line, Acrylic on linen, 40x20"

Dating back to its original purpose in 1875, Bergamot Station has always been a place of transit. It started as a stop and car storage area along the Independence Railroad and then for the Pacific Electric trolley system. Even after passenger service ceased, and manufacturers moved in, Bergamot has always encompassed a sense of physical progression. Although still retaining its industrial feel, Bergamot has quite literally transitioned in it’s own right, growing into the dynamic arts complex we know today.

Joan Wynn, Phantom Journey, Welded steel, 28 x 13 x 5.5"

Exploring the many facets of these changes, In Transit embodies the many stops along the way to our final destination. Whether it be a transition between jobs, locations, stages of life, or changes in relationships, as human beings we are always transforming. Transition is where we find the creative potential for that growth. It is the energy we use to travel from one place to another. It is the determination of where we end up, regardless of where we thought we were headed. Transition is a journey that can last a minute or a millennium.

Caught Red Handed! -- New Group Exhibition

Tues. Jan 26 - Sat. Feb. 20

Reception: Saturday, Jan. 30, 5-8pm

With a central focus around the color red, this month’s themed show at TAG Gallery, Caught Red Handed!, will highlight many different interpretations of the seductive shade.  Known to represent a variety of emotions, red is the color of passion, igniting feelings of love, lust, revenge, and even rage.  Although the color is warm, red is revitalizing and dangerous, exuding a strong and powerful energy. It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action.  Red signifies a courageous spirit, driving ambition, confidence, and determination.  From celebration to ceremony, blood to wine, the associations are as vast as the color’s spectrum. 

Through this exhibition, Caught Red Handed will explore those feelings, portraying the impact the color has played along our artists’ journeys.  From the feminine to the masculine, the positive to the negative, this group show will dive deep into the psychology behind the color red.
