NEW THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK

In the Wild — Photojournalist Clyde L. Elmore, a retired �ٺ���Ƶ scientist, presents a diverse collection of landscape and wildlife images from North America.

His work at the university dealt with weeds. But he has long been interested in animals, as well, raising them when he was young, to photographing them as an adult.

This exhibition features images of wolves and the landscape of Yellowstone National Park’s Lamar Valley, home of the Druid wolf pack.

In the Wild opened June 29 and is scheduled to run through Aug. 31 at the Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center. Hours: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Imps, Pixies and Other Rascals — They laugh at humankind, steal paper from wasps, taunt small children and trick unsuspecting passers-by, says Radomir Schmidt, ceramics instructor at the .

He has depicted a number of these rascals for a summer exhibition at the , in the South Silo, and he invites you to get to know them, despite their behavior.

“They can stand on their own two (or more) feet and if you get too close they will bite, sting or quill you. Or they might just hide in their fancy cloaks, or stand too still to be noticed until you go away,” Schmidt wrote in his artist’s statement.

“They may be small and subtle enough that you have never noticed them before, but this is their show, and after you get to know them here maybe you will notice them smirking at you from the leaf litter in the forest, the pile of junk in the back of your garage, or the clutter in your lab or office.

“And the gnawing feeling they are having fun at your expense may be harder to ignore.”

Imps, Pixies and Other Rascals opened June 28 and is scheduled to run through July 30. A public reception is scheduled from 4:30 to 6 p.m. July 17.

The Craft Center and its gallery are in the South Silo. Hours: 12:30-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 12:30-7 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday.

Flatlanders 3 — Renny Pritikin has assembled the third Flatlanders exhibition, showcasing artists from the Davis-Woodland-Sacramento area.

Flatlanders 3 is set to open with a public reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 8. The show is scheduled to run through Aug. 15.

The Flatlanders exhibitions began in 2006 and have been held every other year since.

“While both of the first two biennials showed the work of more than two dozen artists each, this time out I chose to focus on eight terrific artists who will be able to show a little bit more work than in the past,” Pritikin, the gallery’s curator and director, said in a news release.

“While there is not a theme to the show, there is a strong thread of humor and satire that runs throughout.”

The Flatlanders 3 exhibition features the works of five painters, three of whom are 60-plus years old. The painters, all of whom work figuratively: Suzanne Adan, James Albertson, Patrick Marasso, Irving Marcus and Jack Ogden.

The other exhibitors: Mitra Fabian, who is making a wall installation using hundreds of office clips; Ianna Frisby, embroidered drawings inspired by dressmaking pattern illustrations; and Michael Stevens, a sculptor who works in wood, often with painted elements.

The Nelson announced that an accompanying catalog, to be available at the gallery, will include colors prints of the artists’ work, plus essays by Pritikin.

The Nelson is in 124 Art Building; regular hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and by appointment on Fridays.
