The Kondos Gallery will be showing the “One Hundred Objects Show” Oct. 11–28, a show based on a book by Bill Doonan, City College anthropology professor.

The gallery show features objects from Doonan’s book, “A History of Sacramento City College in 100 Objects.” Among the objects will be a 1.2 million-year-old stone Acheulean hand axe from the library’s collection, which Doonan describes as “the oldest human-made thing in California.”

Also on display will be an old safe the chemistry department used to keep rare and expensive materials, and an antique globe from the geography department.

The show is run by Suzanne Adan and Michael Stevens, adjunct art professors and curators of the gallery.

Adan says there are some objects featured in the book that won’t be in the show because they are too fragile or because getting rights to use the object was a problem. For instance, Patty Hearst’s fake student ID from her time with the Symbionese Liberation Army or the Bell Iroquois Huey UH-1 helicopter, which survived a crash during the Vietnam War still used for training in the City College aeronautics program.

The gallery will also display a collection of City College memorabilia alongside the artifacts from the book.

The gallery has been holding art shows since 2010, but Adan said this is the first time they will be doing a show focused on historical artifacts instead of art.

Doonan describes himself as an archaeologist at heart and says he was inspired to do a “material history” of City College similar to the British Museum’s “The History of the World in 100 Objects.”

History with objects like this, Doonan says, shows the relationships between people and their things.

“A History of Sacramento City College in 100 Objects” was published at the start of the fall semester. All the proceeds from the book go to academic scholarships.

“A History of Sacramento City College in 100 Objects” is available in the student bookstore and online from the City College website.

The opening reception for the art show will be on Oct. 11 from noon–2 p.m. in the Kondos Gallery.
