20:12 is a project by London-based artist #codefc that has developed over the past couple of years as a humorous social commentary on the build-up to the London 2012 Olympics.
Using stencil interventions onto London city landscapes, #codefc presents athletes’ imagery in all their splendour and vigour, performing the Olympian feats for which they are known against a backdrop of reconfigured and stretched Olympic rings, their faces replaced with cameras and camcorders - the artist’s signature mark.
20:12 places the glorification of the Olympic Games brand and the notion of “sportivity” well and truly within London’s urban context, which is in itself potent with…

Opening Reception: Friday, June 1st, 2012

“There’s no retirement for an artist; it’s your way of living, so there’s no end to it.” - Henry Moore
Moore’s words outline art making not simply as profession, but as compulsion. Make Ends Meet is an exhibition that celebrates the repetition of a daily grind, as it features the incredibly inventive, yet remarkably labor-intensive works of Jonathan Brilliant, Mathew Curran, and Olek. Only compulsion could inspire these artists to employ the countless connections, cuts, and knots necessary to create their works. - Lauren Turner

http://www.sfartscommission.org/gallery/2012/tahiti-pehrson-sea-of-love/
Tahiti Pehrson, an artist based in Nevada City, CA with strong Bay Area roots, has been hand cutting paper for decades.
The San Francisco Arts Commission Galleries commissioned Pehrson to create a site specific window installation for our Grove Street site, and the result is Sea of Love. This installation, the largest work Pehrson has ever produced, is a myriad of spirals created from hundreds of linear feet of hand cut paper. Veering from his earlier, more figurative and narrative works, Sea of Love features repetitive geometric patterns referencing those found in astrophysics, mathematics and biology. The artist is…

13 April: Adam Feibelman in Counterproof (SF, CA)
Next Friday, April 13, I'll be showing a new series of collage stencil sets at Incline Gallery in SF. The exhibit, Counterproof: The Other Side of Print, will feature works in a number of different media by Imin Yeh, Elisheva Biernoff, David Linger and The Great Tortilla Conspiracy and myself. Counterproof will explore new avenues in contemporary printmaking by juxtaposing divergent approaches; the exhibition simultaneously celebrates and deconstructs the very notion of printmaking itself. From projecting light through mediums, running porcelain plates through a press, to sewing stencils together-the artists in Counterproof are redefining print, producing works of extended conceptual reach.
Join me on Friday April 13 from 6 - 9 pm at Incline Gallery and enjoy drinks, great people and an even better show.
