Opening reception : Friday June 11th, 2010 . 6:00 - 8:30pm
Ampersand is happy to present "private pARTs". Following a very successful "Home" show in June 2009, Ampersand has re-invited the four local art aficionados/curators "Young Ampersand", Jesse Brown, Rachel Hooper, Saskia Mauro and Theodora Mauro.
Unsettled by the blurred fine line between the private and public arenas brought in by new technologies and contemporary social mores, Y.A. has chosen to investigate how illusions of intimacy and privacy, voyeurism, social networking, public persona building, exhibitionism,surveillance, alienation, globalization and loss of authenticity have all somehow informed the practices of recent 5 Art School graduates, all visual artists linked to the San Francisco Bay Area: Danielle Benson, Ryan Whittier Hale, Alan Miknis, Alexa Natanson, Sonja Smith.
