"QUEERESTROOM:
Taking Back the Bathroom" Exhibition

OPENING RECEPTION:  Friday, May 17th, 7-10PM

An exhibition that features the modified bathroom signs of Lauren Quock. What began as a reaction to years of strangers antagonizing her while waiting in line for the restroom has turned into a series of works that explore gender beyond the constructed binary and subvert an overlooked public space that reinforces it.


- Presented by Kearny Street Workshop, the nation’s oldest Asian Pacific American multidisciplinary arts organizations, and co-curated by Melanie Elvena and Joyce Juan-Manalo. 

EXHIBITION:  May 8-25, 2013

UPCOMING EXHIBITION:

“Making Money” Exhibition
installation by Alex Shepard


OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, June 8th 12-3PM
EXHIBITION: June 5-29, 2013


This installation consists of a stack of “gold bars” made out of gold-colored, biodegradable PLA plastic using a hobbyist 3D Printer.  Each bar is 70mm by 160mm by 44mm, roughly the dimensions of a traditional gold bar and takes nearly an hour to print. The 3D Printer will be on display as a performance to create an opportunity for conversation about topics ranging from the relationship between wealth and art and the utopian promise of 3D printing to the role of labor in contemporary art practice.

Also on view are photographs documenting the original installation in a bank vault at the Old Mint and of the crowd-funding campaign created to raise funds to buy the materials to produce the “gold bars."

-  "The vibe [at Arc] was open, friendly, and unpretentious, encouraging patrons and artists to explore, ask questions, meet the artists on display, and of course, appreciate art . . . maybe buying a piece or two." - 'SF Tao of Pao'

-  “Arc Gallery is a destination in San Francisco. Thanks for creating such a special place.” - Judy Shintani
