Review for "WITH" - Nathaniel Parsons solo show at Alphonse Berber Gallery in Berkeley

Nathaniel Parsons has a large solo up at Alphonse Berber Gallery in Berkeley titled “WITH.” There is a wide array of Nathaniel’s paintings, sculptures, and installations. Everything he makes has a warm handmade quality that I find quite charming but at the same time the work contains an inner narrative that feels quite strange. Of course I also find the strangeness compelling. In most of the works there are familiar references to oddball Americana but there there is some associated text or titles that put an unusual spin on things. The Alphonse Berber Gallery, run by Cameron Jackson and Jessica Cox, is moving to San Francisco. “WITH” is a nice final show in the current space. This show runs through July 31.

Announcing Alphonse Berber Gallery's move to SF

Alphonse Berber Gallery reports, with feelings of excitement and nostalgia, its decision to merge Alphonse Berber Gallery (Berkeley) with Alphonse Berber Projects (San Francisco). With the closing of our doors in the beautiful Bancroft Way location, Cameron Jackson and Jessica Cox, the gallery directors, will be able to focus more fully on the Union Square location which also houses their other project: MAI West. Nathaniel Parsons' show WITH, will be the final show at Alphonse Berber Gallery in Berkeley. The support of the Berkeley community in our one and a half years on Bancroft has been overwhelming, and our recent success in our new location would not have been possible without it.

Thank you again for supporting the gallery, we hope you are able to attend our final opening this Friday, to attend our gallery moving party on July 31, and to come continue mingling about in our amazing exhibitions in San Francisco. (I know it seems like we're asking a lot, but we'll make sure you enjoy each event).

Chris Fitzpatrick reviews Kamau Amu Patton for ArtSlant San Francsico. The article, "Kamau Amu Patton(s) and/or 'Kamau Amu Patton'(s)," discusses the inaugural exhibition of Alphonse Berber Gallery in San Francisco:

"Like any foreign agent, Patton’s relative difference points out the homogeneity of his surroundings, and this difference is intensified by the preternatural form he gives to themes and modes of production that are so familiar in the Bay Area—sonic experimentation, abstracted video, perceptual environments, subcultural references, optical illusions, geometric elements, and so on. Through his sometimes science-fictive manner of distortive filtering, Patton’s work seems more unfamiliar not only because it is, but also and especially because it sounds like it is going to be familiar until it isn’t."

DeWitt Cheng, of the East Bay Express, reviews the exhibition "Palm at the End of the Mind" at Alphonse Berber Gallery in Berkeley. The exhibition ends June 19th.

"Metaphysics seems to link the three artists in this show, although life's meaning remains as safely elusive as the "foreign song" of mythical birds."

Kamau Amu Patton is a finalist for the 2010 SF MoMA SECA award.

"The purpose of the SECA Art Award is to provide recognition to artists of exceptional promise who are working independently and at a high level of artistic maturity, but whose work has not been accorded substantial recognition."
