Exhibition opened

Thanks to everyone who attended the opening reception of Activist Imagination last Friday!

The exhibit is a judicious installation in Space 180, and features works by three artists. Bob Hsiang presents 13 photographic portraits of activists. He also invites viewers to view artifacts of significance to each activist, as well as essays. Donna Keiko Ozawa contributes sculptures with viewer-activated sound elements — please visit the gallery during open hours (Wed, Thurs 3-6 and Sat 2-6) to hear the audio elements. I’m exhibiting two site-specific projects, and a limited edition artist’s multiple — a few are left free for the taking (one per person please). Outside of the gallery, in the third floor landing of the stairway, I curated a show of digital reproductions of early KSW posters and ephemera. Come see it.

Or view Jay Jao’s photos of the opening.

If you didn’t make it to the opening, or would like to come back for a closer look, take note of our upcoming public event:

Thursday, March 27, 2008; 7 – 9pm
Public Discussion: Where Are We Going: the future of activism

And also, we’ll be celebrating a catalog release and closing reception on May 24th.
