Civilization as They Knew It: Work
by Stephen Paulsen 1963 – 2008
April 4 - Jul 19, 2008
Opening reception and gallery talk by the artist: First Friday, April 4th,
5:30pm – 7:30pm
Civilization as They Knew It provides a retrospective of
California artist Stephen Paulsen’s evolving work, from work created
when he was fifteen years old to the current work created with his son, Ulysses,
a glassblower. Stephen’s wall pieces create stories of ancient times
through the interior architecture of fictional tombs. The viewer shares a
window on this world through the descriptive titles that begin - then drop
- the short story about each piece. Other wall pieces recall museum-like
cabinets of curiosities. Civilization as They Knew It is the collection of
objects and crypts found in Stephen Paulsen’s mind.

Remembered Light: Destruction and Resurrection, Glass Fragments from World
War II
March 29—June 15, 2008
Contemporary glass artists draw inspiration from the war experience and memories
of one man to create new windows that include fragments collected by Chaplain
McDonald in the ruined churches, chapels, and synagogues of Europe. These windows—universally
symbolic of destruction and the resurrection of faith and hope through art—will
be permanently installed in the Interfaith Chapel of the Presidio, San Francisco.
