AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS provide direct access to artists and ideas that advance our culture. The Walter and McBean Galleries, established in 1969, present exhibitions at the forefront of contemporary art practice. The gallery serves as a laboratory for innovative and adventurous projects and commissions new work from emerging and established artists. SFAI’s Public Programs develop meaningful interactions between artists, students, and audiences through lectures, education opportunities, and artist-driven experiences. Together, the exhibitions and public programs of the San Francisco Art Institute promote an environment that catalyzes the creative processes of its student artists and thinkers, and creates intimate connections between the SFAI community and the public.

FRANCIS CAPE: UTOPIAN BENCHES JANUARY 21–MARCH 15, 2014 PUBLIC EVENTS RECEPTION

Thursday, January 30, 7–9 pm SCREENING AND CONVERSATION

Women on the Land: Creating Conscious Community » A documentary by Carmen Goodyear and Laurie York Tuesday, February 25, 7:30 pm LECTURE

Forms of Function: The Architecture of Utopian Communities in Nineteenth-Century America » by Irene Cheng Tuesday, March 4, 7:30 pm Francis Cape’s Utopian Benches is an installation of 17 poplar benches arranged in rows that together fill the gallery. Each bench was precisely replicated from existing benches crafted

by American communal societies. Their form and design closely reflect their use within the specific community, and by extension their organizational structure and collective values.

Of this work, Cape has proposed, “material culture reflects social structure.”

In selecting societies, Cape focused on nineteenth-century communities that shared a craft tradition—the earliest bench produced by the Ephrata Cloister, Pennsylvania, is dated to the mid-1700s, while the most recent bench is in continuous use by Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, also in Eastern Pennsylvania. Cape visited the communities, or extant benches, to measure and document their dimensions and construction methods. Each bench was then meticulously reconstructed of poplar sourced near his studio in Narrowsburg, New York. The benches are shown alongside Cape’s suite of drawings that serve both as archival renderings and construction documents.

Utopian Benches recognizes these reductive, proto-modern seats as cultural equalizers and essential components in the creation of nonhierarchical spaces for conversation and communion, be it religious, political, or otherwise. Their arrangement creates an egalitarian field that levels proscenium divisions; here there is no stage or audience—we sit together.

@SFAIevents, #SFAI

For the past 20 years, Cape has explored the cultural context and social triggers of interior architecture and furniture. Utopian Benches is a work spurred by his specific interest in the capacity of the simplest furniture form to express fundamental shared values of intentional communities. For individuals whose lives were often arranged in radical opposition to normative culture, coming together in meeting halls, or around a meal, was central to their utopian ambition.

In siting these benches in a gallery context, Cape reflects on the legacy of their communal histories and origin, and establishes a place for dialogue, in support of new forms of exchange. Throughout the exhibition, the Walter and McBean Galleries and Utopian Benches will offer shared seating for formal and informal programs, both for the immediate San Francisco Art Institute community and diverse community groups. In this way, a connection is forged between the intent of the benches and catalyzing ongoing communal and collective activities in the Bay Area. franciscape.com

FRANCIS CAPE (b. 1952, Portugal) lives and works in New York. Cape apprenticed with master carver Dick Reid before receiving his MFA from Goldsmiths College in London. Utopian Benches was originally commissioned by Arcadia University Gallery, Glenside, Pennsylvania. Cape has recently produced public commissions for The High Line, New York; and Prospect.1, New Orleans. His work has been shown at MoMA PS1, New York; the Saint Louis Art Museum; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Connecticut; and by the Public Art Fund, among many other venues. In 2010, he received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.

The exhibition is accompanied by We Sit Together: Utopian Benches from the Shakers to the Separatists of Zoar, published by Princeton Architectural Press.

Utopian Benches is loaned from the collection of Nion T. McEvoy.

Special thanks to Murray Guy, New York.

WRONG’S WHAT I DO BEST APRIL 24–JULY 26, 2014 Reception: Saturday, April 26, 7–10 pm CURATED BY HESSE McGRAW AND AARON SPANGLER “A diamond is a diamond, and a stone is a stone, but no man is all good or all bad.”

–Johnny Cash, quoting a Roy Orbison lyric, to introduce David Allan Coe

The exhibition Wrong’s What I Do Best takes its title from what was originally a George Jones anthem, and later a catchall for a generation of Hard Country performers. Jones and his outlaw brothers—Johnny Paycheck, David Allan Coe, Hank Williams—were known equally for their crafted stage personas and unhinged private lives. These sincerely deluded, tragicomic figures inhabited characters of their own making, to personal peril and kindling for public legend. …desire is everywhere present in my paintings. I’m interested in the liberating aspect of being totally untethered, let loose in the worst possible environments. My favorite artists are always women that do things that are so wrong… I like things to be seven kinds of wrong. If they are seven kinds of wrong, sometimes the wrongs neutralize themselves, and the whole thing becomes…”

–Ashley Bickerton

RSVP online » SFAI.EDU/WRONG

Wrong’s What I Do Best gathers the selfsearing impulses of artists and musicians playing the role of one’s self as someone else. Working against both correctness and failure, Wrong’s What I Do Best revels in repeated derailments to present the work of artists who prod the edges of our world.

Some unearth scorched histories or upset “natural” order, while others fling themselves headlong into the coming apocalypse. Collectively, their low-irony tilt toward social, political, and personal fault lines might be characterized by illicit unrestraint, yet their lack of critical judgment occludes the artists’ true selves. In the torrid gap between the artist-person and the artist-persona we are reminded that one shouldn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

SIMONE LEIGH Wednesday, February 5 Simone Leigh engages in an object-based, sculptural exploration of black female subjectivity. Her ongoing ethnographic practice, informed by both ancient African and African American object-making, bridges abstracted forms with iconic images. In projects that include terracotta and porcelain female busts, large-scale installations, and performances, Leigh brings a remarkable sense of craft and a potent investigation of female identity to Afro-futurist tableaux. She presented a solo exhibition at The Kitchen, New York, and received a Creative Capital Grant in 2012. simoneleigh.com

JILL MAGID Wednesday, February 12 Jill Magid forges intimate relationships within bureaucratic structures—flirting with, seducing, and subverting authority. Her projects probe seemingly impenetrable systems, such as the NYPD, the Dutch Secret Service, surveillance systems, or, most recently, the estate of architect Luis Barragán, infiltrating and unsettling these forms of power. Her performances and exhibitions have been commissioned and presented by the Whitney Museum, New York; Tate Modern, London; UC Berkeley Art Museum; and the New Museum, New York; among other venues. jillmagid.net

W E N DY W H I T E Tuesday, February 18 Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation Distinguished Visiting Fellow for Interdisciplinary Painting Practices

Wendy White is critically hailed for work that expands the parameters of painting through the use of multiple canvases, sculptural additions, and site-specific installation. Frequently inspired by the visual cacophony of her neighborhood of Chinatown in New York City, her works contain dense accumulations of natural and synthetic materials, atmospheric color, digital and analogue marks, and fragments of text. In February 2014, White will be included in Fútbol: The Beautiful Game, curated by Franklin Sirmans at Los Angeles County Museum of Art. wendywhite.net

ALICE CHANNER Thursday, February 27 Trafficking in a subtly surreal sense of illusion, British artist Alice Channer makes hard materials, such as marble and steel, appear malleable and fluid, and brings a complex sculptural presence to flat images.

Her works, which often take the form of photographs printed on long narrow bolts of fabric, cascade from ceilings in cavernous rooms or undulate on the floor. Channer recently realized a major installation for the 55th Venice Biennale, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace). lisa-cooley.com/artists/alice-channer

KARIN SANDER Tuesday, March 11 Karin Sander’s conceptual works range from barely-there interventions to vibrant, encompassing installations. Her discursive practice focuses our attention on seemingly inconsequential aspects of the exhibition site and to the hidden systems that surround gallery visitors. In Core Drillings (2011), Sander replaced the trashcans in the administrative offices above the gallery with holes, slowly filling an otherwise empty exhibition space with workday detritus. Based in Berlin and Zurich, Sander has presented solo projects at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Skulptur Projekte, Münster, Germany. karinsander.de

TERRY WINTERS Monday, March 24 Terry Winters is widely regarded for layered, biomorphic abstractions that evolved from his early Minimalist work developed alongside fellow New Image painters. In the 1970s, these artists rejected the strict reductionism of Minimalism and returned to figurative compositions. Winters’s vigorous style combines physical gestures and psychologically loaded images, resulting in paintings that are rich in ambiguity and allusion. Winters recently presented a survey exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. matthewmarks.com/new-york/artists/terry-winters

JOHN MILLER Monday, March 31 Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation Distinguished Visiting Fellow for Interdisciplinary Painting Practices

Throughout his career, John Miller has pursued an ambitious and cross-disciplinary investigation into so-called middlebrow culture and artifice-laden consumer societies.

His recent relief sculptures and installations feature gilded junk—found Styrofoam, plastic objects, and discarded wood tables overlaid with gold leaf. The works reference the decadence of our current moment and speak to the instability of cultural and economic excess.

He has presented major exhibitions at Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany, and Kunsthalle Zurich, Switzerland. lownoon.com

IÑIGO MANGLANO-OVALLE Thursday, April 3 Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle is an internationally recognized conceptual artist known for his activist-inspired public works. Manglano-Ovalle creates technologically advanced pieces that crystallize complex political and cultural narratives into iconic, beautiful forms—a thundercloud, an iceberg, Mies van der Rohe’s architecture, or a fictitious Iraqi biological weapons truck. His work prompts singular experiences from inverted utopias, refabricated images of war, and the insurgence of Modernism. Manglano-Ovalle’s numerous awards include a United States Artists Fellowship and a MacArthur Foundation Award. inigomanglano-ovalle.com SFAI.EDU/EVENTS

JAMES BENNING Tuesday, April 8 A pivotal figure in experimental filmmaking for over 40 years, James Benning’s primary subject is the expansive and complex American landscape. His most recent work centers around two cabins that he replicated on his property in the Sierra foothills: Henry David Thoreau’s shelter from Walden Pond and Ted Kaczynski’s plywood shack—iconic American structures that seemingly represent utopian and dystopian poles. The resulting film Two Cabins (2011) layers perspectives and articulates intoxicating connections between the two structures.

BASIL TWIST Thursday, April 24 San Francisco–native Basil Twist has established himself, over a 20-year career, as one of the foremost puppeteers in the United States. Twist is renowned for having advanced new techniques and genres of performance that bring puppeteering into the realms of contemporary theater and visual art. Through both technical innovation and poetic force, his works conjure iconic worlds on the stage. Twist is the Mohr Visiting Artist at Stanford University for Spring 2014. basiltwist.com

KAREN FINLEY TRAUMA AND CREATIVITY Friday, February 7 Karen Finley is known for incendiary and emotionally complex works that span the mediums of performance, music, photography, video, and installation. Her raw, transgressive pieces have provoked controversy and debate on themes of social injustice, sexual politics, and family dysfunction. In 1998, she was the plaintiff in a contentious Supreme Court case Finley v. NEA that focused on public funding and the arts—a situation that brought her work to wide audiences and unexpected contexts. Finley received both an MFA and an honorary doctorate from SFAI. karenfinley.com

JULIO CÉSAR MORALES

LOS HALFIES Friday, February 21 Employing a range of visual strategies, Julio César Morales explores issues of migration, underground economies, and labor on personal and global scales. From a series of indelible watercolors diagramming human trafficking to the historical reenactment of a famous meal, his work engages complexities of social interactions and political perspectives. Morales was the founder/director and co-curator of Queens Nails, an artist-run project space in San Francisco, and is currently the curator of visual arts at Arizona State University Art Museum. gallerywendinorris.com

H E S S E M c G R AW THE RADICAL NORMALCY OF ARTISTS Friday, March 7 Hesse McGraw is Vice President for Exhibitions and Public Programs at SFAI. His current research posits that artists are the normal ones among us—their radical normalcy brings something new to the world. McGraw was previously chief curator of the Bemis Center in Omaha, where he commissioned and developed over two dozen exhibitions and projects, including major public initiatives by Theaster Gates and Michael Jones McKean. McGraw will share upcoming exhibitions and initiatives of SFAI, and further propose curatorial strategies to expand the agency of artists. sfai.edu/exhibitions-and-public-programs

M A R C E LO C I D A D E YOUR NORTH SURREALISM ISN’T OUR SOUTH REALISM, or WHAT IS TRANSGRESSION TODAY? Friday, March 28 Marcelo Cidade creates uncanny situations, which appear as if by chance, in quotidian urban contexts. His process is that of a trickster or playful interventionist, and his actions produce subtle and poetic transformations in his home city, São Paulo, and similar public environments. Although his works may appear materially or conceptually off-handed, they are formally rigorous, politically loaded, and amplify one’s awareness of the specific thrills of urban space. galeriavermelho.com.br

RICHARD MEYER SISTER CORITA'S SHOP RITE Friday, April 4 Richard Meyer’s research and writings on modern and contemporary art focus on the ongoing debate over sexuality and gender, its effects on art and visual culture, and censorship and the public sphere. In lucid prose, he has addressed queer perspectives, key feminist artists, and Andy Warhol’s fascination with Jews. His recent book What Was Contemporary Art? redefines “the contemporary” as a condition of being alive to other moments, artists, and objects. Meyer is Professor of Art History at Stanford University.

T I M OT H Y B E R R Y A CURIOUS RECOGNITION Friday, April 11 Painter and printmaker Timothy Berry’s most recent work continues a lifelong investigation of mankind’s contentious, yet appreciative relationship to nature. Utilizing motifs from natural landscapes, he generates implied narratives of a paradise lost and flirts with patterned abstraction. His collaborative printmaking workshop, Teaberry Press, has worked with over 250 artists to create new projects since 1974. Berry is Associate Professor at SFAI. timothyberryart.com SFAI.EDU/EVENTS

She explores athletic, physical, and sporting practices in contemporary art, and contrasts the access they give us to languages of struggle and flight with other ways of being and moving through the world.

Doyle is Professor of English at University of California, Riverside, and a 2013–14 Fulbright Distinguished Chair at the University of the Arts, London. thesportspectacle.com

ALFREDO JAAR IT IS DIFFICULT Friday, April 25 | Special time » 7:30 pm Alfredo Jaar is one of the foremost practitioners of a social, integrated art practice. His public works simultaneously question the efficacy of art to produce social change, and generate authentic transformation in diverse contexts. Since the early 1980s, Chilean-born Jaar has created incisive installations, photographs, films, and community-based projects that produce new ways of seeing subjects, such as homelessness in Montreal, the holocaust in Rwanda, and gold mining in Brazil. His work is noted for its power to establish unexpected platforms of cultural impact and to re-engage desensitized Western audiences with global inequities. alfredojaar.net
