full dis·clo·sure [foo l dih-skloh-zher]
noun 1. the act or an instance of completely disclosing; exposure; revelation.
Full Disclosure unites artists who explore discourses of text and image by appropriating and manipulating the frameworks of typography, signage, advertisements, and books. This exhibition aims to analyze contemporary visual culture by uncovering the process of seeing language and internalizing it in order to confront ideologies of feminism, identity, consumerism, and race. Full Disclosure will exhibit works on paper, sculpture, installations, and spoken word to encourage the viewer to experience aesthetic renderings in place of textual structures to communicate how our generation is seeing the world in a new way.
Collaborating Artists Include: Irene Carjaval, Martin S. Gardea, Patrick Hothan, Kaveh Sayar Irani, Nicole Lavelle, Melissa Miller, Channing Morgan, and Emmanuel Sevilla.
There will be a special flash fiction reading by Patrick Newson at 7 PM and Gabriel Edwards at 7:30 PM on opening night, April 18.
Curated by Tanya Gayer and Micah Wood for SFiCA as part of BREAKOUT.
SFiCA: BREAKOUT! 2014
hybrid // glitch // generation // transmission // mutation // expulsion // refraction // full disclosure // breakaway
An epidemic has hit the Bay Area, SFiCA: BREAKOUT! 2014. The graduate students of California College of the Arts and the San Francisco Art Institute have broken free from their institutional boundaries and have mutated into a hybrid machine of art and thought making. This contagion has going viral, taking over galleries across San Francisco and Oakland beginning in February 2014. SFiCA’s curatorial committee has organized a series of exhibitions showcasing the works of current CCA and SFAI MFAs, fostering a culture of collaboration between CCA and SFAI and between the different graduate programs within both schools. The structure of BREAKOUT is similar to a music festival with different events happening on several “stages,” including galleries and artist-run spaces throughout San Francisco and Oakland. BREAKOUT focuses in on specific areas of interest under an umbrella theme of institutional critique and collaboration between the two schools and highlights the key concerns of current art practices across the programs.
