New Show at Marin MOCA

The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art in Hamilton is unveiling a new show this Saturday, July 20.

The exhibit is titled “Out of Order” and challenges viewers’ expectations of the “normal” by deconstructing, rearranging and reconfiguring subject matter.

Among the pieces in the new show is Jodi Lieburn Chimenti’s Desire, a collage that combines various techniques to create a landscape of flowing organic shapes and Bette Golden Lamb’s Broken Hearted, which transforms a clay vessel into a textured and snarled sculpture.

Robert Allen, who owns Robert Allen Fine Art Gallery in Sausalito will serve as juror and will share his perspective on the exhibition at the opening. 

Also on display at Marin MOCA is artwork by members of Cedars of Marin, an organization that offers art projects, community service, gardening and more to developmentally disabled adults. That exhibition features a variety of artworks from their members including large scale paintings, textile sculptures and mixed media drawings.

Opening reception for both exhibitions will be held Saturday, July 20 from 5-7pm. The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art is located at the Novato Arts Center at Hamilton Field 500 Palm Drive, Novato, California. Hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum also offers Open Studios every first Sunday on the month.

Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.
