_______ vs. _______ (& everything that falls in b/w), is my Master of Fine Art Thesis Exhibition for the San Francisco Art Institute. This exhibition will be held at the Old Mint, in San Francisco, from May 14-18, 2014. My thesis project includes the work of local artists, Elizabeth Cayne, Scott Greenwalt, Erik Parra, and Karen Thomas. Through the installation of people, text, objects, photography, drawings, paintings, and collage, alternative spaces on the vault floor and within proximity of the building, will be transformed into their own private/public viewing areas. This exhibition questions the value and intention of a graduate thesis show, in a city that is currently experiencing a high rate of evictions for artists, gallerists and cultural centers, at a site that embodies the currency and history of this city.
I will be producing three site specific performances that will occur on Wednesday May 14, from 8-10:00pm for the Gala Vernissage Art for Dessert, Friday May 16, from 7-9pm for the Public Opening Reception, and Saturday May 17, from 6-8pm for the Alumni event. In addition to these hours the installation-based work will be on view to the public, Thursday May 15 through Sunday May 18, from 11am-6pm. A limited edition artist made catalogue for ________ vs. ________ (& everything that falls in b/w), will be on sale in the Book Room, on the first floor of the Mint.
