Sometimes Things Come Together

Eight bridges connect the San Francisco Bay, so it is an apt name for a gallery platform that brings the Bay Area art world together.

Our mission is to maintain a vibrant gallery scene, despite restrictions on travel, celebrations and other larger gatherings. We want to support our artists by informing and entertaining curators, collectors and critics with potent online exhibitions of their work.

On the first Thursday of every month, we will launch 8 shows of artists relevant to the Bay Area. They may be working in this place, long considered an epicenter of change, or deeply engaged in the conversations the Bay Area holds dear, whether it’s related to technology, the environment, social justice or sexual identity, to name a few. In addition, each month will highlight the crucial work of a Bay Area non-profit arts organization.

The idea that “Sometimes Things Come Together” is about science as much as it is about art. Carámbula, Turner and Wackers share a love of combinations and invention in their very different mediums. Playfulness and a shrewd process of editing is integral to these artists’ work.

Carámbula creates individually made “tiles”, texturing and glazing them various colors, and then intuitively assembles them into ceramic collages. Turner works with paper petals, colored paints, and various scales and angles creating dynamic paper sculptures of flowers. Wackers draws from a variety of remembered and invented forms to create paintings of curiosity cabinets. HIs arrangement and juxtaposition of color, various tempos and rhythms make the paintings almost read as text.
