Montalvo: Making Place Public - Exhibition
Date: 07/21 Saturday - 10/26 Friday Mon-Thurs: 8am-5pm Fri-Sun: 9am-5pm
Montalvo: Making Place Public celebrates the transformation of Montalvo Arts Center’s public park. Inspired by the historic Villa’s centennial year, invited artists will respond to the estate-as-place, crafting works that respond to its unique landscape, geographical, social and cultural context, histories and possible futures.
The exhibition, which will feature a diverse range of innovative outdoor sculptural practice, presents new commissions by local and international artists, as well as select works on loan. Through large-scale sculpture and performance, as well as more intimate actions, interventions and participatory activities, artists will transform our habitual experiences of Montalvo’s familiar spaces, and posit alternative and unexpected modes of public engagement with the property.
Participating artists include Daniel Canogar (Madrid/Montreal), Kianga Ford (New York) and Mamoru Okuno (Tokyo), Robin Lasser (Oakland) and Adrienne Pao (San Francisco), Steven Simon (Los Angeles), Amy Trachtenberg and Jeffrey Miller (San Francisco), and Hector Zamora (Saõ Paulo).
