Count Me In | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
2024年8月17日–2025年4月27日 (UTC-8)ENDED
San Francisco
The artworks in this gallery showcase the deep desire among athletes (and artists) to participate in games that prove — to rivals and spectators, coaches and family members, and the participants themselves — that they are worthy of the task at hand. In the game, players discover that the hours spent practicing with heads bent, in a crouch, or cradling a ball, yield a grace and beauty that only surfaces when tested. And sometimes the sociopolitical context in which one performs makes it even harder. In this exhibition, the physical, mental, emotional, and political resilience required to play is made visible. When Indigenous, Black, or women athletes refuse to give up, especially when they were historically excluded, their presence in the contest changes it. They make the game wider, deeper, and more meaningful. They make a beautiful game even more beautiful.

When the World Is Watching | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
2024年8月17日–2025年4月27日 (UTC-8)ENDED
San Francisco
Major international competitions where athletes compete as members of a national team are highly anticipated and widely watched media events. Such tournaments find participants facing their fiercest competitors, and often befriending them. Host cities invest in building state-of-the-art arenas, transportation, and hospitality to increase tourism. Nations finance research and development of performance sports gear, like the racing wheelchair and hydrofoil sailboat on view here, which in turn influence the sporting goods made available to the public. Given the global attention, many athletes take the opportunity to surface inequities they have encountered for broader perspectives and debate. In addition to showcasing the highest level of performance, international games spur innovations in design and urban planning, and significant discussions that influence broader social progress.

Unity through Skateboarding | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
2024年8月17日–2025年5月4日 (UTC-8)ENDED
San Francisco
Skateboarding has always been about more than tricks and competitions. It is a culture rooted in rebellion, creativity, style, and the pursuit of freedom. This exhibition, curated by Jeffrey Cheung and Gabriel Ramirez, founders of the skate collective Unity, celebrates the dreams and realities of queer, trans, BIPOC, and women skaters as well as the diverse communities that have shaped the sport, despite histories of hypermasculinity and exclusionary attitudes. Meet the pioneers who broke barriers, from the first women and queer skaters to go pro, to the underground movements that encouraged inclusivity and change in skateboarding. Through skateboards that represent queer and women skaters and artists, skate publications and zines, artworks, photographs, videos, and more, the works featured here explore how communities have fostered unity through a shared ethos of passion and determination. Just as skaters who, despite injuries and setbacks, persistently attempt a trick until they land it, Unity through Skateboarding encourages us to keep pushing for a more inclusive world, both on and off the board.

Layla Martinez on WOODWORM with Daniela Blei | Medicine for Nightmares
Nov 4, 2024 (UTC-8)ENDED
San Francisco
Medicine for Nightmares in San Francisco welcomes Spanish writer Layla Martínez to discuss the English release of her debut novel, Woodworm, translated by Sophie Hughes and Annie McDermott. She will be in conversation with Daniela Blei. This event is co-presented by the Center for the Art of Translation and The Ruby. The house breathes. The house contains bodies and secrets. The house is visited by ghosts, by angels that line the roof like insects, and by saints that burn the bedsheets with their haloes. It was built by a smalltime hustler as a means of controlling his wife, and even after so many years, their daughter and her granddaughter can't leave. They may be witches or they may just be angry, but when the mysterious disappearance of a young boy draws unwanted attention, the two isolated women, already subjects of public scorn, combine forces with the spirits that haunt them in pursuit of something that resembles justice. In this lush translation by Sophie Hughes and Annie McDermott, Layla Martinez's eerie debut novel is class-conscious horror that drags generations of monsters into the sun. Described by Mariana Enriquez as a house of women and shadows, built from poetry and revenge, this vision of a broken family in our unjust world places power in the hands of the eccentric, the radical, and the desperate.

Gilded Glass Ornament Workshop with Master Gilder Lynne Rutter | Lynne Rutter Studio
Nov 9, 2024 (UTC-8)ENDED
San Francisco
Join us for a small group, hands-on workshop to learn the ancient art of verre églomisé with Odd Salon Fellow Lynne Rutter In this class we’ll delve into some gilding history, while learning how to mirror glass the historic way, with finely beaten sheets of gold. The practice of gilding dates back to at least 3000 BC, and can be found in tomb decorations, ornamentation, furniture and frames, and in works of religious and fine art. Gilded glass goes back to 1st century BC and maybe even further. Not much survives, as these pieces were delicate. What we now call “verre églomisé is a set of techniques that were only rarely used until the 18th century when a decorator and framer named Jean Baptiste Glomy became famous for gilded glass frames and mirrors. People began to say the glass has been “Glomy-fied” or églomisé. Glass gilding and back-painting glass was generally limited to clock cases and small items, until the mid-19th century when signwriters started making elaborate gilded glass signs to catch the light and attention for shops. Today, the practice of gilding still follows historical practices, handed down through generations of artisans. Ticket price includes supplies for the workshop, and everyone will go home with a fine art ornament of their own making. Create gilded Harvey ornament, or select an idea from designs we will have on hand. Lynne Rutteris a Fellow of Odd Salon, and is a fine art muralist and decorative painter based in San Francisco, whose work emphasizes site-specific design and authentic materials and techniques. She has been an active part of the design community for over 35 years and has completed hundreds of installations nationally and internationally. Gilding has played an important role in Lynne’s work whether in restoration, ornamentation, or her large-scale paintings. You can see more of Lynne’s work on her blog The Ornamentalist where she writes about the finer points of color and décor, and her adventures while traveling with her camera.

Expect to see great art, meet the artists, and enjoy complimentary bites and refreshments! About: In Between The experience of being here and there — caught in the space between — defines those who have uprooted, relocated, and engaged in a dynamic process of renewal and reinvention, embracing new cultures, while holding onto the memories of their past. This multimedia exhibit invites reflection on the complex challenges faced by individuals who cross physical, social, and emotional borders. It explores the deep feelings of foreignness that those who cross experience both at home and in their new environments through frames like nostalgia, memory, and a sense of living between worlds. About the collective:
Romanian Art Collective SF (RAC-SF), brings together a dynamic group of visual, performance, and applied artists, each of whom contribute their distinct personal viewpoints to the collective. RAC-SF’s mission is to engage and enrich the larger Bay Area artistic practice and discourse through exhibitions, public events, and collaborations. Our programs bridge the local Romanian community culturally and personally. On a broader level, we seek to foster dialogue and build connections with artistic communities through exhibitions and collaborative projects.
