Between Tide and Horizon by Dan Callis
Between Tide and Horizon is a curated collection of the work of Los Angeles-based artist Dan Callis. His work is shaped by a love of material practices, the humorous and painful experience of being human, and what poet Christian Wiman has called “accidental” theology.
October 29-December 18, 2026
Artist talk: 5:30 p.m. Thursday, October 29, in the Lake Valentine Room, Community Life Center (CLC), first level. A reception in the Olson Gallery will follow the talk.

Free Energy by Shana Kaplow
Shana Kaplow's multimedia work in painting, video, and sculpture connects personal narrative with larger global questions.
Stemming from her father's early work with solar energy, she reflects images of power lines, oil derricks, and the sun in a curved, circular mirror, using the reflections as points of departure. The resulting artworks challenge direct perception, suggesting celestial mechanics, electromagnetic fields, or astral watchers.
Kaplow works improvisationally, resulting in materially visceral artworks that embody qualities such as dissolution and luminosity. In mining these mercurial distortions, Kaplow's work reveals an instability in these entrenched structures, signaling either the brink of collapse or the potential for transformation.
