Unseen Forces
Working within the context of questioning is artist Jenifer Wofford, whose sculptural installation and wall painting, Unseen Forces, installed in the rear gallery at Southern Exposure, persuades viewers to consider or re-consider the intent of a walk-through metal detector and it’s constant influence in our lives. Or, as Wofford states in reference to walk-through metal detectors, “It’s the dulling of our anxieties that gets me: how bland we allow these processes to pretend to be. [Yet,] I somehow maintain a little thrill of delight in re-imagining their purpose. After all, they’re thresholds.” Recipient of the 2007 SF Bay Guardian Goldie Award in Visual Arts, the Southern Exposure exhibition is Wofford’s first major solo show upon graduating with an MFA from Berkeley last year. All four artists will participate in a discussion of their artwork on Friday, January 11th at 6:30 pm with an opening reception to follow from 7 - 9 pm. These exhibitions will be on view from Friday, January 11, through Saturday, February 23, 2008.
