On Rotation: Will Brown Selects INHERENT VICE: THIS IS NOT A BRUCE CONNER EXHIBITION
Gatehouse Gallery
In the years since Bruce Conner’s 2008 death, the enigmatic Bay Area artist’s identity and mythology continue to evolve. For this exhibition, San Francisco-based collective Will Brown will work with previous Bruce Conner collaborators Anon, Anonymous, Anonymouse, Justin Kase, Erni Burden, Ernest E. Burden, Gene Buttmann, Emily Feather, and Dennis Hopper to produce a fluctuating exhibition of artifacts and artworks related to and inspired by the legendary artist. Several items drawn from di Rosa’s collection and archives will serve as starting points for an investigation of identity, authorship, remembrance, and mirroring. read more

Opening Reception: Lost and Found Elisheva Biernoff and Floris Schönfeld
This exhibition presents work by two Bay Area-based artists who share a fascination with the overlooked and the unfamiliar. Elisheva Biernoff investigates possible narratives through trompe l’oeil renderings of found and invented artifacts such as postcards and vintage photographs. Floris Schönfeld explores lost histories and the realm of belief through multifaceted research and installation. Together their work infuses wonder to the unknown, questions the relationship between the uncanny and the authentic, and invites discovery. Members Preview: 5-6 PM. Free. read more
