Beerology
Modern civilization is beer civilization! Agriculture, cities, writing, and religion all have ties to ancient craft brewing. Ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Chinese, and others each perfected the brewing arts in interesting, and even strange, ways. Beer-loving headhunters from the Amazon, for example, did the amazing trick of chewing poisonous cassava root so it could become a drinkable beer. Learn fascinating stories and see phenomenal artifacts that reveal the links between beer and culture, such as the solid gold beer cup of an Inca king.

We Are All Together By Ourselves by Lee Huai and Eric Blau tuesday, jan. 14
Alone Together – Lee Huai and Eric Blau
This current collaboration between Chinese born painter Lee Huai and photographer Eric Blau was born of the friendship the two artists began when Lee first came to the U.S.A. It is an exploration of how our differing cultures both influence and alienate us. Each artist has created half of a diptych in response to or in anticipation of the others work. The richly hued color fields created by the painter and haunting polylith photographs are presented on birch panels surrounded with text.
