CENTRALISM
‘ism’ = a distinctive doctrine, cause or theory

 

Fresno lies very near the exact geographical center of California.
However the concept of Centralism is much more. Common catch words and phrases often refer to being 'centered', 'in the middle of things', 'right on target'.

Seeking out the center of what is happening in today's art, Gallery 25
is focusing on the vast multitude of rich ideas that reflect diversity and the 'isms' that define the aesthetic, philosophical, social and political framework of our world.

'CENTRALISM' AT GALLERY 25
When I walked into Gallery 25 last night for ArtHop, it was so crowded
I actually was getting jostled while looking at the works. Talk about a crowd!

Here are some pics:

The bottom pic is by Jon Bock and is one of my favorite works in the show.
Has government gotten so broke that we're going to have to end up renting
manhole covers?
