Concurrent with the opening of these shows is an exhibition of youth art from Montgomery Middle School, as well as QR Code art by students from High Tech High Media Arts. Finally, a small survey of local artists creating non-traditional portraits will also be on display in the exhibition space including work by Anna Zappoli, Roberta Dyer, Anne Pelej, and Judy Pike.
The work was selected by Natalia Mount, a San Francisco-based curator interested in ideas surrounding simulation, media saturation, commoditization (specifically in Eastern Europe), and the development of universal social media identities. Mount will lead a professional development workshop the day after the opening on “Marketing Your Art” from 12pm-2pm in SDAI’s exhibition space, open to both members and non-members.
