Opening Reception: Thursday, March 27, 6 - 8pm
Location: SFAC Gallery

The San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery is pleased to present Make You Notice, an exhibition curated by Berkeley-based curator Patricia Maloney. Make You Notice features video, photography and ephemera by four contemporary women artists who utilize performance/performative acts in their diverse practices to highlight the arbitrariness and absurdity of the social structures that govern our perceptions. The artists record their actions in and reactions to the world, seamlessly integrating collaboration, activism, irony, and optimism into their work. Even when presenting fantastic situations, they do not simply create characters, but often enact extremely self-conscious, almost zealous, versions of themselves. And in that slippery zone between person and performance, they offer audiences the opportunity to unravel the social behaviors that dictate our own lives and interactions with others.
