4 artists you can find at our exhibition in the Loggia Showroom: Dan Lythcott-Haims As a photographer, Dan Lythcott-Haims explores the unnoticed aspects of the human-made world. He finds beauty in the patterns, textures, colors, and forms of the world around him, both designed and emergent. For stARTup Small Works 2018, Dan showcased a new series that elevates those same details of decay in sculptural form. Titled Wood+Rust, this series juxtaposes rusted steel in custom maple housings.

Now showing at Patricia Sweetow Gallery: Assembled The exhibition brings together three women whose art practices explore the formal and intuitive in assemblage and construction. With their richly evocative diversity of materials, each artist's approach of obscuring and revealing content tells oblique narratives of personal, social and cultural reckoning. 👤 👤 👤 👤 #startupartfair #startupartfairsf #sanfranciscoart #sfart #sfartist #exhibitions #emergingartist #sanfranciscoartist #womeninart #womenartists #sculptural #sculptures #sculptureart #assemblage #assemblageart
In a June 2018 interview with Oakland Magazine, Bay Area artist and filmmaker Elizabeth Sher describes her creative approach as “an ongoing process of framing/editing.” Whether working with traditional or new media, paint or pixels, static or moving images, her muse is the same: perception. With each of her works, now available on Artfinder, she examines what is seen, how we construct visual memories, and how those memories inform our understanding of our world.

Now showing at the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts: Take Only Memories, Leave Only Footprints. Seeing is a primary way of knowing, yet our vision is limited to our biological capabilities and temporal position. Long-term environmental changes and the influence of technological interventions are difficult to apprehend from any present moment. Cinema can, however, unlock the potential to both transcend our experience and transform our habitat. It allows us to see in supernatural time spans and at scales unavailable to the naked eye. This technology of image-making reveals deeper aesthetic truths behind the vistas. Film can track visions of our natural and built environments over time to preserve landscapes for future viewers. A prescription for appreciating these complex ecologies is “Take only memories, leave only footprints.” Take Only Memories, Leave Only Footprints features works by Jeroen Cluckers, Daniel Crooks, Siegfried A. Fruhauf, Tanja Geis, Conner Griffith, Laura Kraning, Lois Patiño, Sabrina Ratté, Jan van IJken, Jane Veeder, and Liam Young. It is curated by Kathleen Maguire and Samuel Sharkey, Exploratorium, San Francisco and presented in conjunction with No Time, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts’s (MFA) exhibition that explores human relationships to the natural world in the past, present, and future. The program is organized in two alternating cycles, each beginning at the top of the hour in MFA’s Screening Room. ⛰ ⛰ ⛰ ⛰ #startupartfair #startupartfairsf #sanfranciscoart #sfart #sfartist #exhibitions #emergingartist #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #newmedia #newmediaart #sanfranciscoartist #sfbayarea #videoart #artvideo
Now showing at Luz Art Gallery: Watershed Moments: The Jerusalem Biennale 2018 California Tour - With a special performance "Time: A Duration, A Tide" by stARTup artist Doni Silver Simons: Wednesday, November 14 - Gallery Talk with Ram Ozeri, Ram Ozeri, Curator/ Founder of the Jerusalem Biennale: November 21 from 6-8 PM 🗣 Doni Silver Simons is a painter, installation and performance artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. Time has been the central focus of Doni's work for over three decades. She calls herself a “chronicler” of time, identity and memory, painstakingly marking the moments of our lives. Her minimal, yet fastidious, canvases appear like ancient scrolls or calendars that have been unearthed and are frayed and unraveling. 👤 👤 👤 👤 #startupartfair #startupartfairla #losangelesart #laart #laartist #exhibitions #exhibition #losangelesevents #contemporaryart #contemporaryartists #performanceart #performanceartist #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #exhibitions #installationart #artinstallation
