Geri Montano’s exhibition, Resistance in the Land of Red Apples, opens on Thursday, November 1, with a reception, 4:30-6:30pm, and artist’s talk, 5pm, both in the Goudi’ni Gallery. The show runs through December 8.
Inspired by her own personal experiences relating to cultural and feminist themes, Geri Montano’s work juxtaposes aesthetic qualities with subversive imagery. She combines aesthetic, thematic, and technical skills, impressing emotional and powerful ideas to the viewer. In this exhibition, Resistance in the Land of Red Apples, Montano will fill the space with mixed media drawings, sculptures, and installations dealing with concepts relevant to her experience as an indigenous woman in the 21st century, challenging the viewer to contemplate controversial and taboo subjects.
The Goudi’ni Gallery is located on 17th street and Union, on the ground floor of the HSU Behavioral and Social Sciences Building. Gallery hours are: Monday closed, Tuesday-Wednesday 12-5 pm, Thursday 12-7 pm, Friday 12-7 pm (12-8 Arts! Arcata), Saturday-Sunday 12-5 pm.
