On Wednesday, April 9, Gallery Wendi Norris will host a conversation between artist Enrique Martínez Celaya and Professor Alexander Nemerov, Stanford University’s Carl and Marilynn Thoma Provostial Professor in the Arts and Humanities, in celebration of The Wilderness, Martínez Celaya's first exhibition with the gallery. Exploring fragility, endurance, displacement, and longing through an intricate and confrontational interplay between humanity and nature, The Wilderness features Martínez Celaya's latest suite of large-scale paintings. Renowned for fusing science, philosophy, poetics, and literature into his deeply personal and humanistic works, Martínez Celaya will be joined by Professor Alexander Nemerov, who is equally celebrated for his eloquent and engaging lectures at Stanford University and around the country. Registration is required due to limited seating. About the speakers Enrique Martínez Celaya is the first Provost Professor of Humanities and Arts in the history of the University of Southern California and a Montgomery Fellow at Dartmouth College, where he was also a Roth Family Distinguished Visiting Scholar. Through his paintings, sculptures, installations, and writing, Martínez Celaya explores the exilic imagination, blending reality, myth, and memory to create poetic works that range from the semi-autobiographical to the resonantly universal. He describes his work as an open-ended, existential inquiry simultaneously addressing the  big gears of nature and the small gears of human experience.  Alexander Nemerov is the author most recently The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s, praised by the novelist Annie Proulx as “one of the richest books ever to come my way—deeply beautiful, achingly painful and astonishingly tender.” His book Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York was praised by Vogue as one of its best books of the year and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography in 2021. Nemerov teaches art history at Stanford University. Image credits: Portrait of Enrique Martínez Celaya by Kwaku Alston; Portrait of Alexander Nemerov by Suszi Lurie McFadden.

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

一數

Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Lombard Street

Night view

泰迪小熊

Came on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and definitely one of the must-see attractions to visit San Francisco. Jiuqu Flower Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section is a steep slope, but it is designed to be eight hairpin bends, and the road is full of flowers. If you need to shoot the effect of Jiuqu, you must stand at the low position of Leavenworth Street. Chinese people can drive by themselves in the western United States where San Francisco is located. If you will drive in San Francisco, you may wish to experience the feeling of driving through Jiuquhua Street.
