  SF Camerawork’s Fall Exhibition
  Suggestions of a Life Being Lived, guest curated by Chicago-based curator Danny Orendorff and San Francisco native Adrienne Skye Roberts for SF Camerawork, presents queerness as a set of political alliances and possibilities, informed by the projects of 16 artists working in photography, film, video, activism and education. Untethered to institutions of sexual or gender normativity and in pursuit of greater freedoms, the work in this exhibition represents queer activism, intentional and imagined communities, self-determinism, and DIY alternative world-making.
  Suggestions of a Life Being Lived begins from a place of “outness” and considers how a sense of liberated queerness is pursued and mediated within public spaces and behaviors. Less concerned with categorical sexual identities or coming-out narratives, this exhibition presents work that looks outward towards collective and resistant expressions of queer community existing outside of dominant gay and lesbian culture.
  September 9—October 23, 2010
  Opening Reception: Thursday, September 9, 2010, 5 – 8 pm

  CONTEMPORARY SLAVERY, a project of SEA (Social Environmental
  Aesthetics) and the second annual ECOAESTHETIC exhibition, investigates various
  forms of contemporary slavery—from human trafficking and the sex trade; to the
  exploitation of farm and domestic workers, immigrants and prisoners; to sweatshop,
  bonded, and child labor—through a bombardment of images taken by leading
  photojournalists documenting this issue. A symposium will unite scholars, humanitarians
  and activists in dialogue in order to draw critical attention to this under-recognized local
  and international issue.

  Exit Art is pleased to present RICO GATSON: Three Trips Around the Block, a 15-year retrospective of work by New York artist Rico Gatson. This exhibition is the third in Exit Art’s SOLO program, aimed at providing public visibility for under-recognized, mid-career artists though one person shows at Exit Art.

  Brooklyn-based Rico Gatson was born in 1966 in Augusta, Georgia and raised in Riverside, California. His work generates collective memory through the exploration of symbols and images culled from popular culture and the mass media, questioning issues of identity, racial intolerance, and the status quo.

  Three Trips Around the Block is a survey of Gatson’s sculpture, painting, video, drawings, and installations, including several new pieces created for the exhibition. The title of the retrospective stems from a powerful experience Gatson had with his brother who, after spending fifteen years in prison, reconnected with the artist by taking a long walk around the block. The conversation that occurred during their “trips around the block” inspired Gatson to creatively explore their own disparate lives – a personal excavation made public in this poignant and provocative exhibition.

  Exhibition opens: Friday, September 30, 2011/7-9pm and runs until November 23, 2011
