Operation Restore Defenestration
1:AM gallery and Brian Goggin are proud to present Operation Restore Defenestration, a month long celebration of Defenestration building’s 13th anniversary as well as the next era of the project’s existence. Operation Restore Defenestration is an event raising funds to repair and improve the artwork, making the building once again beautiful by day and vibrant by night. The exhibition will include restoration work in progress and artwork for sale with proceeds from the event going towards the project. Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, March 5th 2010 from 6-10pm. Defenestration, a unique San Francisco art landmark by Goggin and his team of collaborators, was originally expected to be up for only a year; it has now weathered the elements for nearly thirteen. The building is a four story building with anthropomorphic furniture diving out of windows and scurrying on its walls. Locals and visitors alike continue to flock to this playful installation. Although the piece is deeply loved by the community, it has fallen into unfortunate disrepair. Operation Restore Defenestration will be an opportunity for the community to meet the artist and support the restoration of the art installation by helping with fundraising and volunteering efforts. The opening reception will be held on Friday, March 5th from 6–10pm at 1:AM gallery and the exhibit will run through April 3rd.
