8 May :: Jeremy Novy "Queering it Up" (SF, CA)

As one tries to create change one finds themselves in a wrestling match of power. Change is perceived as something unknown and the unknown scares people that are used to things just being the way they are. Yet there are a million different ways to accomplish most anything, were in the end we all end up in the same place.
In this exhibit local stencil artist Jeremy Novy juxtaposes famous quotes about power and change with images of wrestlers.

Then there is the stuff outside. Engaging and educational, "Art in the Streets" makes sure visitors have the opportunity to learn how certain tributaries lead to this one river of swirling urban goo, mapping connections between cultural movements, communities and relationships within it.
