The Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series (VAS) provides a forum for engagement and dialogue with major figures in international contemporary art and culture. Through lectures, screenings, and performances, the series creates intimate connections between SFAI and the public, and invites individuals to contribute to the spirit of curiosity that drives the SFAI community. SFAI Social Hour: Join the SFAI community for informal social gatherings to each VAS lecture. SFAI Café, 6-7pm William Cordova, current artist in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts, will address the idea of “ephemeral monuments”—a presence constructed through absence, but also through form, function, and necessity. Cordova asks: How does evidence of our past construct our future? Recent solo exhibitions include Smoke Signals: viviendo pa’ la ciudad at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco.
