Temporary Structures
Join the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) in the Walter and McBean Galleries for a FREE interdisciplinary exhibition that takes root in the exciting possibilities of impermanence. Featuring over a dozen acclaimed international and Bay Area artists, the exhibition includes works—many of them site-specific—concerned with architectural aspirations, follies, and momentary acts of cultural transformation. They explore aesthetic, political, and social ideals, ranging from the rise of consumer culture to 19th-century French uprisings to the recent Occupy movement, and help bring new meaning and understanding to the past and present. An opening reception will be held Friday, September 14 from 6–9 pm. Meet and mingle with exhibition artists including Paul Kos, Christian Nagler, David Gissen, Amy M. Ho, Ben Peterson, Jonathan Runcio, and Together We Can Defeat Capitalism; enjoy wine and appetizers; and see a special climbing performance as part of Paul Kos's installation. The exhibition and all associated events are FREE and open to the public. But space is limited for some events, and advance registration is required. Get full details at www.sfai.edu/tempstructures
