What’s in a zip code? Melek Zertal’s early spring exhibition is an intimate documentation of just what can happen in a few square blocks. The Algerian artist’s half-year sojourn in the East Bay will culminate in this series of prints and comics recreating what the artist calls “a sour sweet promenade through Oakland streets.” The intertwining of feeling and place is a specialty of Zertal’s work, which conveys intimate moments of love and distraction in a few strokes of ink and gouache. Screenprints, comics and other multimedia work on view until April 29th.
