The SFAC Galleries Window Installation Site at 155 Grove Street will be transformed into a vision of the future imagined by Oakland-based artist Carrie Hott. In A Remove, A Plan, A Plot Hott envisions a time where workspaces are powered by solar energy and the SFAC Windows Installation Site becomes a meeting place. Monitors placed in the installation will play video footage of the space and the surrounding area, including prominent landmarks such as City Hall and Civic Center Plaza, among others. The screens will also showcase images of past installations at 155 Grove, reflecting on the site’s history as part of a city agency and its physical location within the Civic Center complex. For Hott, the installation reflects on how we make use of space and on what happens to buildings that move away from their intended use. “The installation is intended to reflect on what it means to have an exhibition space directly linked and adjacent to a municipality,” Hott states, “And what it means to change or step back from that lineage, even if temporarily.” The public is invited to gather on the sidewalk outside of 155 Grove Street for a discussion with Hott and SFAC Galleries Associate Curator Jackie Im. They will discuss the influences that shaped Hott’s project and what she found during her research. SFAC Galleries Associate Curator Jackie Im states, “Carrie’s installation proposes a compelling vision of the future. What happens when we move off the grid and what becomes of these spaces if and when that happens?”
