It's Not Us, It's You
A new show at SJICA looks at rejection
By Michael S. Gant (04/14/2009)

" I used to think that writers got the worst of it in the brute business of taking no for an answer, over and over again. As it turns out, artists have us beat; at least that’s the message conveyed by the witty slice of Weltschmerz now on display at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art. “It’s Not Us, It’s You,” curated by Ray Beldner, is a group show devoted to the sticky question of coping with the stings and form letters of repudiation. "

(un)Common Ground
Introductions South
By Berin Golonu (03/02/2002)

" Despite a title like (un)Common Ground, the emerging Bay Area talent included in this group show at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art displays a group mentality. This is not to say that they risk conformity. It's quite the opposite, in fact, because each body of work possesses a style unique unto itself. Rather, the artists compiled by curator Chris Oliveria seem to share a common dialogue, one that, aside from other less obvious factors, may result from their shared identity as Bay Area artists. "
