SUMMARY:Gallery 1 Shelby Marzoni - Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:I Know I Am But What Are You?\nMarch 4–28th\, 2026Reception: March 13th\, 5–7 PM\n  \nTHE EAST COUNTY ART ASSOCIATION IS PROUD TO PRESENT\nSHELBY MARZONI’S SOLO EXHIBITION\n\nExhibition Statement\nThis exhibition is a survey of my emotional and philosophical reactions\nto world events and my surroundings during the pandemic years 2019-2022.\nSome pieces which belong to these series are more recent. \nThe first series\, From Angst to Relief\, was born of my own frustration\nwith the total shutdown of public life and the strife this engendered in our\nnation and around the world. I felt powerless\, as an older woman\, to say\nanything impactful about these things. Watching stand up has always provided\na cathartic outlet for such feelings. Since stand-up comics seem to get away\nwith saying most anything they want\, I began to find my voice in their faces as\nthey expressed rage\, disgust\, defiance and alternatively\, relief and joy. I\ncarefully chose for my inspiration the expressions I most wanted to capture\nwhile photographing Netflix specials. \nCat Apocalypse is a narrative series that employs the device of heroic\ncats to tell a fable of a world at ease disturbed by visions of impending doom.\nDisaster happens\, and the cats run for their lives. After searching for higher\nwisdom\, the heroes find hope in the end\, finally stepping up to rewire the\nworld’s collective mourning into joy. \nThe hero of Xhaaad’s Terrestrial Adventure is a young extraterrestrial\nnamed Xhaaad who chooses Earth as their destination for their coming-of-age\nchallenges. Xhaaad assumes a body that would enable them to thrive on this\nplanet\, but at the same time to differ sufficiently from humans as to elicit some\nkind of reaction. Xhaaad’s challenge is to assimilate and befriend members of\ntheir host race with acceptance and empathy. From their first aerial approach\nto collect data to their gradual engagement with humans and other living\nbeings\, Xhaaad demonstrates tolerance\, curiosity\, and openness. \nFinally\, I am showing some pieces which do not fit into any of these\nthree series. I painted several of them as an homage to late California artist\nWayne Thiebaud\, who passed in 2021. A sampling of my tiny landscapes and\nbeach scenes are also on view. \nJoin us for Shelby’s Reception for an opportunity to meet the artist and a discussion about her masterfully painted and curated work. \n  \n\nLocation: East County Art Association\n124 East Main Street\, El Cajon 92020 \nSHOW TIMES:\nWednesdays; 3:00pm-7:00pm\nThursday-Saturday: 10:00am-3:00pm
