True to its title, Mario Lemos and Laurie O'Brien's intimate exhibit Boomerang traces a parabolic path connecting a wide swath of Bay Area artists, rebounding across generations and different media in feedback loops of influence. The work of younger names, such as installation artist Chris Cobb — who famously reorganized Adobe Books' entire stock by color in his There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World — or recent Goldie winner Colter Jacobson — whose "memory drawings" eerily double the images that inspired them — is allowed to resonate with the visions of older kindred spirits, such as experimental filmmakers Nathaniel Dorsky and Lawrence Jordan. The latter's gently surreal, cut-out animation Blue Skies Beyond the Looking Glass is especially not to be missed when it screens on Tuesday, January 8th, at 7pm.
