    Rex Amos: A Man of Many Hats

    The Definitive
    Renaissance Man

    Rex Amos is the definitive renaissance man — prolific and passionate about creating art, philosophy, poetry, journals, protests, and pranksterism. Rex recounts the highlights of his adventures in conversations with his closest collaborators and friends.

    His circle includes Bud Clark — the 48th Mayor of Portland; philosopher Graham P. Conroy; artist and inventor Don Farnsworth of Magnolia Editions; and art historian Roger Hull. Together they delve into Rex’s art and his unusual collection of letters, hats, journals, and “leavings” — a life told through accumulated objects and ideas.

    About the Film

    Sonoma Valley Museum of Art awakens curiousity with new public art


    Thresholds is a documentary that explores the collision between the historic and the contemporary. Through a series of candid interviews with curators, city officials, and curious locals, the film captures the “transparency of the process” and the spark of public debate. As some residents compare the abstract steel to “cut-out paper” or “puzzles,” others see a gateway to a new era. The film delves into the emotional power of public art, framing the exhibition not just as an economic boost or a tourist attraction, but as a catalyst for memory, a prompt for introspection, and a vital “walking tour” through the evolving identity of a town.
