Emmy Lou Packard (1914-98) was an accomplished muralist and printmaker. She studied art with Diego Rivera in Mexico from 1927 to 1928 when she was barely a teenager. Then in 1940 and 1941 she became his primary assistant in a mural project in San Francisco for the International Golden Gate Exposition. Upon its completion, Emmy Lou returned with Diego to Mexico City, where she was his guest and became a close friend to both Diego and his wife, Frida Kahlo. She lived with the Riveras for about a year. Many of the photographs in this exhibition, taken by Emmy Lou, Frida and Diego, came out of the short period of time that Emmy Lou spent with the Riveras from 1940 to 1942. The exhibition will also include original artwork and prints.

Sonya Rapoport will be presenting ImPOSSIBLE CONVERSATIONS?, a new interactive project that invites viewers to come and participate in a simple matching experiment under controlled conditions. The results of this experiment will become part of the work exhibited at the Fresno Art Museum in this exhibition.
ImPOSSIBLE CONVERSATIONS? is structured by Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley's "Market Design and Matching Theory", which won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics. This theory explores how people, institutions, and companies select each other to create stable matches. The work takes the form of a series of collages; each consists of a black and white photograph of a "pattern painting" that Rapoport created and exhibited in the late 60's, overlaid on a contemporary newspaper advertisement, and juxtaposed with a short text appropriated from the media.
Based in the Bay Area, Sonya Rapoport has exhibited her conceptual and new media artwork internationally. She recently had retrospective exhibitions at the Kala Institute in Berkeley and Mills College Art Museum. She received her MFA from UC Berkeley in 1949.
In-kind support for Sonya Rapoport's ImPOSSIBLE CONVERSATIONS? is provided by Rollf's Gallery & Picture Framing.
