Featuring complex asymmetrical patterns, unusual materials, and an improvisational creation process, these quilts are unique artworks that expand the notions of craft through exuberant artistic expression. Presenting stories from each maker, the exhibition illuminates how these quilts came to be, and the collaborations and relationships involved in their creation. The exhibition reflects the makers’ individual interests, skills, and talents and Eli Leon’s vision and unique story as a collector with a large focus on African-American quilters.

UNEARTHED: FOUND + MADEDecember 12, 2015–April 24, 2016

Explore a unique mash-up in UNEARTHED: Found + Made, which mixes work by a contemporary artist with the creative practice of amateur local clubs. Oakland-born, Los Angeles-based artist Jedediah Caesar imitates geological processes in making his sculptures, encasing found objects from the urban environment in clear or colored resin. The California Suiseki Society and the San Francisco Suiseki Kai practice a Japanese tradition of carefully collecting, appreciating, and displaying stones on carved wooden platforms. Placing Caesar’s sculpture alongside suiseki by members of these clubs highlights a similarity in process they share, and generates conversation and mutual understanding across communities and creative ways of working.

Self-guided groups welcome.

3-LS2-1: Construct an argument that some animals from groups that help members survive.

4-LS1-1: Plants and animals have both internal and external structures that serve various functions in growth, survival, behavior, and reproduction.

4-LS1-2: Use a model to describe that animals receive di¤erent types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in di¤erent ways.

5-LS2-1: Organisms are related in food webs in which some animals eat plants for food and other animals eat the animals that eat plants. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their particular needs are met. (LS2.A)

5-PS3-1: Use models to describe that enery in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.

5-ESS3-1: Human activities have had major e¤ects on Earth, but individuals and communities are working to help protect Earth’s resources and environments. (ESS3.C)

MS-LS1-4: Use argument based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures a¤ect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively.

MS-LS1-5: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.

MS-LS1-8: Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.

MS-LS2-2: Although the species involved in competitive, predatory, and mutually beneficial interactions vary across ecosystmes, the patterns of interactions of organisms with their environments, both living and nonliving, are shared. (LS2.A)

MS-ESS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.

MS-ESS3-4: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.
