June 2-24, 2007
Opening Reception June 2nd 6-10pm

Grand Central Art Center hosts the first U.S. art exhibition for Latin American Artist Francisco Tellez-Giron. Originally a muralist and graphic designer from Mexico City, Tellez-Giron paints bold and insightful works about immigrant life. His painting style is rooted in a passion for life in all of it’s trials and rewards. Combining portraits of inspirational artists, poets, folkloric iconography and current global politics, Tellez-Giron paints abstracted works which contemplate a remarkable personal journey.

Project Room
Jeffrey Vallance – Relics and Reliquaries
Curated by the artist
June 2-24, 2007

Opening Reception June 2nd 6-10pm
Grand Central Art Center presents an installation constructed in the form of a treasure chamber featuring reliquaries from the life of artist Jeffrey Vallance.
Excerpt from his book Relics and Reliquaries published by Grand Central Press:
“This reliquary project is related more to artist Chris Burden’s performance relics than to the California assemblage tradition. Burden displays his relics — such as the nails he used to crucify himself to a VW Bug — in high-tech Plexiglas cases. For my performance artifacts, I merge the idea of Chris Burden’s high-concept relics with the medieval tradition of ornate gilded reliquaries… Since early childhood I have been an obsessive collector, verging on neotoma (being a pack rat). I consciously started saving things in 1963, at the age of eight. I would collect objects that I thought were somehow significant, but I would also save relics from tragicomic events and personal traumas.”
