Night emerges through the work as a feeling rather than a condition. It offers refuge, safety, and the possibility to experience the primordial. It is a time when rules soften, identities blur, and the supernatural comes into focus.
“Night Moves, curated by Alexis Gordon and Kyle Warren Smith, is sort of a set of nested surprises. The gallery, after a brief stint of itinerant curating, opened last November in the quiet, unassuming, cute Temescal Alley in Oakland. Long a site for gallery projects, it’s nevertheless a delight to encounter good art in an unexpected place. The exhibition, celebrating night, transforms the gallery into an intimate, dark space. Atop a scrim of black curtains, photographic works by seven artists float. Fire and photo flash illuminate nocturnal scenes… it’s a moody gem of a show in a promising new space.”

About RachelSimone Wyley:
RachelSimone Wyley is a poet-essayist-songwriter-
By leveraging music as a facilitation tool, RachelSimone activates the qualities of creativity, empathy, and vulnerability in others – however latent – to connect individuals in spontaneous community and then, to guide them through a process of critical unlearning and radical re-education. She deliberately disrupts the power dynamic that exists between artist (the “entertainer”) and audience (the “entertained”) and requires all present to offer their own emotional collateral as a critical part of the creation process.
