Market Street from Embarcadero to Valencia Street

Leave the Capital is an exhibition of art and media dealing with the agency of the periphery-beyond political, economic, and media centers. The 13 artists in the show offer a critical mix of observation, confrontation, urban intervention, hybridity, and cathartic celebration in order to assert the self and counter-publics.

Family Pictures

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 11th, 7-10 pm
Exhibition Dates: July 6-July 28, 2009

When curator Michelle Townsend first proposed the exhibition Family Pictures, she was not yet expecting what would became a baby boy, born at the precise time she was to review submissions. Just as baby Nolan chose to be born outside the confines of a typical 9-month gestation, so too, the 33 artists in Family Pictures have chosen to defy orthodox definitions of family. Bay Area artists (and curators) are shaking off the trappings of gender, age, and bloodline.
