- futility in three acts- Sieglinde Van Damme AUG 29 - JAN 10 Will be on View in the Digital Gallery Marquee: futility in three acts, 2011, video < Back Artist Statement While currently focused on painting and mixed media, my broader interdisciplinary practice includes photography and video installation. Across all mediums, my work explores identity, adaptation, memory, and the ways we continually negotiate who we are as we move through life. Having immigrated from Belgium to California in 1998, I became interested in how identity is continually negotiated between personal history and social context. I realized that adapting to a new situation with intention asks us to consider what stays, what can be let go of, and what new choices become available in response to changing circumstances. The three videos presented in this exhibition approach these questions from different perspectives. Through image, sound, and movement, they explore what happens when life changes course. What remains? What evolves? And how do we stay connected to who we are while allowing new possibilities to emerge? Although these works were created during a period when my practice expanded beyond painting into video and photography, they reveal many of the ideas that continue to shape my work today. Whether through video, photographic traces, or abstraction, I am interested in creating spaces where multiple interpretations - and new possibilities - can coexist and where uncertainty opens the door to curiosity. At its core, this exhibition reflects a belief that life itself is a creative act. That identity is not fixed. That meaning is not singular. And that we often have far more freedom, possibility, and authorship in shaping our own lives than we realize. The thread connecting it all remains the same: “re-imagine what else is possible”™ - futility in three acts - video with sound, total playtime: 22min 53sec visuals by Sieglinde Van Damme music/sound by Cole Ingraham & Sieglinde Van Damme On view August 29, 2026 - October 7, 2026 v o i d video with sound, total playtime: 9min 53sec visuals by Sieglinde Van Damme soundtrack: “Chaos Geometry” composed by Cole Ingraham, adapted by Cole and Sieglinde On view October 8, 2026 - November 18, 2026 Things change and then nothing happens video with sound, total playtime: 5min 40sec visuals by Sieglinde Van Damme soundtrack composed by by Cole Ingraham On view November 19, 2026 - January 10, 2027 For more information regarding each video listed above, please visit this link. About the Artist Sieglinde Van Damme is a multi-disciplinary artist based in California, although she used to be an economist with European roots.

< Back Katherine Young MAY 3 - AUG 3 What Do You Treasure? Katherine B. Young, MD, MFA fell in love with the ocean when she was a small child. She spent a lot of time on the water before going to medical school to train in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After working for 10 years as a plastic surgeon in San Francisco, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a full time artist. She specializes in drawing and painting vast spaces of ocean and sky. Her work has won numerous awards and has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. She is currently creating an exhibition for the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, CA which addresses the ocean plastic pollution problem. The following galleries represent her artwork: HANG ART in San Francisco, Claire Carino Contemporary in Boston, and The Gallery at Tree’s Place in Cape Cod. She maintains a studio at 1890 Bryant Street in San Francisco, and lives in the city with her husband and daughter. Her artwork and creative process are featured in creativity expert Tina Seelig’s book, Insight Out. About the Artist: My connection to the ocean and art-making began in childhood, growing up in the Tidewater region of Virginia near the Atlantic. Though I initially pursued science—studying engineering and medicine at Duke University and training as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Stanford—I ultimately returned to my artistic roots. After a decade of surgical practice in San Francisco, I earned an MFA and committed to a full-time career as an artist. The ocean is both majestic and meditative, a force of awe and tranquility. My paintings and drawings capture its vastness, immersing viewers in its beauty. However, my relationship with the ocean was profoundly altered when I learned about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—an immense collection of plastic waste polluting the waters I love. This realization compelled me to confront this crisis through my art. 'What Do You Treasure?" emerged from my reflections on our paradoxical relationship with nature. We revere the ocean and its life, yet contribute to its degradation through rampant plastic consumption. This exhibition invites you to examine this contradiction and reconsider the choices we make daily. The paintings and drawings lining the walls evoke the ocean’s sublime power. Many incorporate genuine gold, referencing early Renaissance religious icons and illuminated manuscripts—symbols of reverence and contemplation. The sculptures interspersed throughout the space, however, disrupt this serenity. Cast from discarded plastic and gilded in gold, they serve as objects of reflection, mimicking sacred artifacts yet exposing the false idol of consumerism. These pieces also nod to the economic forces that sustain our dependence on plastic, making change feel daunting but necessary. As you move through the exhibition, allow yourself to experience the ocean’s grandeur, then confront the unsettling reality embedded in the sculptures. What do you treasure most—nature or convenience? The answer to this question carries weight beyond this space. If you choose nature, let that commitment extend into action. Even small steps—reducing plastic use, supporting sustainable initiatives, advocating for systemic change—can have a profound impact. This exhibition is not just a reflection; it is a call to action. The choice is yours. Previous Next
