di Rosa and KQED Education present summer lectures with SPARK* artists - CHARLES LINDER

KQED and di Rosa come together again to celebrate the art and artists of the Bay Area. This summer they’ll present lectures in July and August with artists from the di Rosa collection that have also been featured on KQED’s popular art series Spark.

Artist, gallerist, and provocateur, Charles Linder has been a leader in the Bay Area art scene since opening his first art gallery, refusalon, in a converted garage South of Market. As a conceptual artist, Linder began exhibiting his own work in 1993. The di Rosa collection owns eight works including Fiat Lux, made up of four bullet-ridden animal crossing signs. In early 2000, he started LincArt, which was featured on SPARK in 2004. LincArt supported artists like Wally Hedrick, Yayoi Kusama, Graham Gillmore, and Tucker Nichols, among many others. Linder closed the gallery in 2010 to focus on his own art practice
In July 2010, Linder’s exhibition Good Cop/Bad Cop at Evergold Gallery included a collection of saucy Polaroids that he acquired in a storage locker auction in Berkeley. His latest escapade was an outdoor pig roast in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district (www.charleslinder.com/evergold-stag-party/.
