SFiCA: BREAKOUT Presents Hybrid. Opening Reception: Friday February 21, 6:00 - 9:00 PM.
hy·brid [hahy-brid]. noun. 1. anything derived from heterogeneous sources, or composed of elements of different or incongruous kinds.
Hybrid showcases artists who use their practice to investigate intersections, questioning human relationships to environments both man-made (architecture, technology, material culture) and natural (organic materials, landscape). These artists will make use of the unique hybrid space of Incline Gallery to install a variety of works including found object and utilitarian sculpture, photography, painting, performance and artist-cocktail mixology. At the center of their practices is an interest in the body's relationship to space, architecture, and the material world.
Collaborating artists include: Ricardo Alzati, Calen Barca-Hall, Daniel Bouthot, Marshall Elliott, Kristine Eudey, Steven Froman, Samira Hashemi, Marc Hirsch, Nolan Jankowski, Nicholas McCullough and Matthew Kotzin.
Curated by Melissa Miller and Stephanie Rohlfs for SFiCA as part of BREAKOUT!.
SFiCA: BREAKOUT! 2014: hybrid // glitch // generation // transmission // expulsion // mutation // refraction // 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.
