Salt Moon, 2020 This artwork is one of two works permanently on display in Madrid, Spain. It is one of my largest artworks to date and I made it as a new mother in the heart of the pandemic. I didn’t have the chance to invite my community to see it before the works were shipped overseas in the winter of 2020, so here she is! #rachellereichert #saltart #saltwork Foto @miguel.arzabe

New work-in-progress ✨✨ inspired by the SF Bay, the mining history that is still present in her waters, and the cyanobacteria that inhabit the bay’s salt ponds. 𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 is an artwork commissioned for a new carbon neutral tech headquarters in Mountain View, CA. (More to share soon!) I was so focused when making this one, I forgot to take pictures. Thankfully, @miguel.arzabe walked through the studio and snapped a few pictures of me finishing up this artwork. #rachellereichert #saltart #saltstudio #artcommission #siliconvalleyart #californiaartist #naturalmaterials #abstractart #artistinthestudio

I recently had the privilege of speaking with the exceptional @natothompson and @alexandrearrechea for @thealternativeartschool Alexandre and I discuss our artistic practices and all together we what school is and can be, and some alternatives. Here is a gem of clip the school’s philosophy and what Nato has built: What should school be, other than being in community with people who give you grist for the mill for what it means to make art, and also be alive?

We’re here 11-3 today! Come spend some time with this beautiful collaborative work by @rachelle_reichert @miguel.arzabe and Inti. There is only 🍃 ONE 🍃MORE 🍃WEEK🍃 to check out Helping Heads, curated by @gaberealgarza The last day to see the show is next Sunday, June 30! Family Weaving woven screenprint and acrylic on newsprint 23 x 23” 2024 Rachelle Reichert is a visual artist and art educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California (Chochenyo Ohlone territory). Rachelle works in a variety of media to explore landscapes permanently altered by climate change and industrialization. She is interested in earth observation satellite imagery- how nature is composed in images and then circulated to a public, algorithmic visions, and natural systems to view how nature is manipulated by human behavior. Her research focuses on sites of specific extracted materials: salt, clay, lithium. Research findings are interpreted through drawings, photographs, and mixed-media artworks that focus on materials found at the site. Artworks embody multi-scale complexities of observing the natural world, both human and machine, and the emotional connections between the two. Miguel Arzabe makes colorful and dynamic abstractions - weavings, paintings, videos. He starts by finding outdated beauty in paper ephemera from art shows, modernist paintings, discarded audio recordings. They are methodically analyzed, deconstructed, reverse-engineered. Drawing inspiration from the cultural techniques and motifs of his Andean heritage, Arzabe weaves the fragments together revealing uncanny intersections between form and content, the nostalgic and the hard-edged, failure and recuperation. #rachellereichert #miguelarzabe #personalspacevallejo

Thank you @robertcanali and @rachelle_reichert for your eloquent discussion of your artwork, and the fascinating conversation you had as artists with each other, and with all of us. We are thrilled that you participated in our 3rd Thursday Artists in Conversation series. It was serendipity that it occurred on the summer solstice. @vitabrevisclub #rachellereichert #robertcanali #artists on conversation #vitabrevisclub

Tomorrow @vitabrevisclub in San Francisco will be hosting @robertcanali and me in conversation, moderated by the brilliant @philipmatthewbewley ✨ Together we will discuss our conceptual approaches to our artistic practices, making art in the Bay, and the overlaps in our projects, including our works responding to our experiences of California wildfires. And so much more. I have found a fast friend in Robert, as we have so many overlaps in our artwork and in our personal lives. I’m so excited to share with you! If you would like to attend, DM me ⚡️ #rachellereichert #artistconversation #sanfranciscoart #artpractice #vitabrevis

Next Tuesday, join our founder Nato Thompson (@natothompson ), Alexandre Arrechea (@alexandrearrechea ), and Rachelle Reichert (@rachelle_reichert ) in conversation. Alexandre Arrechea’s work comprises large-scale installations, sculptures, watercolor drawings, and videos that debate issues such as history, memory, politics, and the power relations of urban spaces. Arrechea’s site-specific approach involves exploring the ideological and philosophical legacy of the surrounding context to create a more engaging interaction with the audience. His exploration of space examines the cultural resonances implicit in architecture, from design to social value, and how these influence its multiple interpretations. This method of dissecting architectural anatomies and spaces through drawings and installations delves into the potential conflicts embedded in architecture as a result of the numerous decisions “hidden” within their structures.

Returned from LA to find this gorgeous exhibition catalogue at my studio waiting for me. It felt like a gift from Hung, a little push to keep working hard!

Congratulations to all the artists as well! #mentorship #hungliu #rachellereichert #bayareaart #oaklandartist #millscollege #millscollegeartmuseum #legacy

I’m showing artwork from my 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘬 series @theautry for @pstinla in their timely exhibition 𝘖𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘦, an exhibition that places contemporary art into historical context to examine how visual technologies, artistic interventions, and the workings of state power have evolved in tandem with the Western landscape. My artwork 𝘔𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 is alongside many artworks and artists I admire. Special thank you to Amy Scott, Britt Salvesen from @lacma , Bill Fox from @nevadaart and Jason Weems on curating a fantastic exhibit and coming up to Oakland to see and engage so deeply with the work so many years ago! #rachellereichert #satelliteimagery #losangelesart
