The SF Arts Commission Main Gallery is now officially closed for a couple years while they retrofit the entire War Memorial Veterans Building, and I've been reminiscing about all the shows I've seen in SFAC's space there. For instance last fall they hosted the Visible Horizons exhibition featuring a trio of awesome local artists:
Andrew Chapman, Chris Duncan and Rhonda Holberton, acting as both curators and artists, will be presenting three perspectives on the idea of the horizon, drawing attention to the roles access, visibility, and myth have on relationships between landscape, architecture, and the human body. In our daily lives the true horizon is largely obscured by natural and human-created objects; this augmented intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. While the horizon can be understood as a site of unification, it also divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not. Chapman’s layered multimedia installation, Duncan’s interactive aural landscape and Holberton’s camera obscura will offer visitors a chance to challenge their literal and conceptual notion of where and what the horizon is and how we interact with it on a daily basis.
SFAC augmented the gallery show with a number of live events including a talk by Sean McFarland and a performance by Suzy Poling. While we wait for the Veterans Building to reopen the Arts Commission witll continue to show in both City Hall and their Grove Street window site, so keep an eye on their schedule.
