My friend Yvette told me about this great arts organization called Intersection for the Arts. They are a nonprofit supporting various types of art in the area. This would be a great place to get involved. I wanted to share…
Intersection for the Arts is San Francisco’s oldest alternative nonprofit art space (est. 1965) and has a long history of presenting new and experimental work in the fields of literature, theater, music and the visual arts, and also in nurturing and supporting the Bay Area’s cultural community through service, technical support, and mentorship programs. Intersection provides a place where provocative ideas, diverse art forms, artists, and audiences can intersect one another. (read more)

How I Learned To…
by Weston Teruya & Michele Carlson

April 21 - May 24, 2008
Gallery Hours: Wed-Sat, 12-6pm
Opening Reception: Monday April 21, 6-9pm

A collaborative installation by Weston Teruya & Michele Carlson that looks at the construction of nationhood and identity through a sculptural disruption of institutional educational spaces. This project exposes the power dynamics contained within the architecture and set-up of traditional American classrooms and explores how histories of marginalized communities are taught and absorbed into concepts of nationhood and citizenship. This new installation destabilizes and re-imagines the environment that we learn and grow up in.

“Weston Teruya’s…provocative mixed-media works on paper articulate powerful cycles of creation and destruction.” - Glen Helfand, Artforum

“…to appreciate Michele Carlson’s [work]…you could be jumping up and down and not miss out.” - Hiya Swanhuser, SF Weekly
