The FLOAT Center is an urban spa located in the Jingletown district of Oakland, where patrons find comfort in saltwater floatation tanks. The FLOAT Center is also an art gallery curated by Fil Serpa and Allison Walton, arguably one of the hottest curatorial teams in the Bay Area just now.
Through May 17, the FLOAT Gallery is showing Beneath the Surface, an exhibit of visionary paintings and illustrations on paper by Liz Mamorsky as well as interactive assemblage sculpture by Paul Baker.
In her youth, Liz Mamorsky was a child star in New York and currently does voice work for radio, television and games, including Sims 2, Sam & Max, and AVampyre Story. Mamorsky is also a prolific artist, who has been exhibiting her visionary paintings, studio furniture and sculptures since the 1960s. For a sampling, go to lizland.com.
Paul Baker is an assemblage artist who creates interactive sculptures that are carefully constructed to entertain children of all ages. His ongoing series: Machines for Living are built intentionally to help us examine our lives and evoke memories, through insight and humor.
The FLOAT Gallery is located at 1091 Calcot Place #116 in Oakland. For more info, go to floatcentergallery.com or call 535-1702.

Yes! Go see this incredible art.
And what I love to do that will have you appreciate this art even more, is to go for a FLOAT and then sit afterwards to contemplate this beautiful art work.
