TRANSCENDENTAL VISION
January 27 - February 26, 2012
Weds-Sun, 12pm - 7pm
The Independent, Sand City

A subtle depiction of how Japanese ideas have migrated and influenced American Contemporary Art through the work of twelve artists; the ancient East-West divide transcended to express a vision of spirituality and the sacredness of everyday things. Though visually different in their work, the artists share an uncommon clarity of vision of what art should be and how it can effect us.  Ultimately, these common threads of aesthetic and intellectual thought express the connections that all humans share.
Joseph Campbell
NATURE, MYTH, ART:
THE INFLUENCE OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL

Coming Soon!


Joseph Campbell, a great philosopher, mythologist and writer briefly lived on the Monterey Peninsula. During that time, he was influenced by Ed Ricketts, John Steinbeck, and later lectured at Esalen Institute, a center for human potential.  Join us for art and history exhibitions and special events throughout the Monterey Peninsula that examine the life and work of Joseph Campbell and the powerful influence he has on contemporary art.
