Lisa Dent Gallery

View Gallery Crawl video of Robin Ward's show The Deluge (October 6-28, 2006) at Lisa Dent Gallery. (Running Time: 4:52)


Editor's note: The Lisa Dent Gallery has moved since this video was released. Their new address is listed below.

San Francisco Bay Area native Lisa Dent opened her gallery in 2004 as a forum for emerging, international artists who transcend the limitations of both medium and nationality. Dent's curatorial sense is unique and often times playful - previous solo exhibits have included Maiko Sugano's sculptural objects for domestic spaces and Basil Twist's puppets and stage settings along with video clips of performances.

In Robin Ward's second exhibit at the Lisa Dent Gallery entitled "The Deluge" (October 6Â?28, 2006), Ward looks back to 17th century BC for inspiration: the story of the Great Flood and its hundreds of iterations across the globe. Her paintings and drawings tie these flood myths into the present by referencing anything from Hurricane Katrina and the Asian tsunami disaster to Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and theoretical texts about kindred ties across species.
