Lindsey White (1980) is a visual artist working across many disciplines including photography, video, sculpture, and book making. Her work has been described as "reveling in lighthearted gags and simple gestures to create an experience that is all the more satisfying for the puzzles it contains." [1]

Contents

Early life and education

White was born in 1980 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. [2] [3] She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon and her Master of Fine Arts from the California College of Art in San Francisco, California. [4]

Work

Her solo exhibitions include 2017 SFMOMA SECA Award Exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, [5] In That Case: Havruta in Contemporary Art at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA. [6] [7] "Through video, photography, and sculpture, White models a type of site gag index, working with the language of magic and comedy to challenge ordinary perceptions by presenting the unexpected and impossible. Like a good joke, her work pits cartoonish occurrence against the mundane physicality of everyday life." [8] [9] White's work is fictionalizing an awkward stage moment, forming a joke in its own right. [10] She has exhibited at places such as Museum Bärengasse, [11] Switzerland; Bolinas Art Museum, Bolinas, California; Marylhurst Art Gym, [12] Portland, Oregon; San Francisco International Airport Museum, [13] San Francisco, California; diRosa, Napa Valley, California; ACME., Los Angeles, California; San Francisco Arts Commission, [14] San Francisco, California; and Aurora Picture Show, Houston, Texas.

Collaborators

Additionally, she is a part of a collaborative project, Will Brown [15] [16] (with David Kasprzak and Jordan Stein) who reimagines the roles of artist and curator through an inventive upending of traditional exhibition formats. The collective often mines unexpected or forgotten histories that exist within artistic and cultural spheres. [16] [17] The practice has been described as meta-curating. [18] "This trio of artist-curators is making exhibitions and events out of a San Francisco storefront that are smart, weird and historical, with a great sense of humor. Their latest installation — inspired by a true story involving the fate of painter Kazimir Malevich's burial site in Moscow — transformed the space into a luxury Russian condominium." [19] [ failed verification ] Will Brown has realized projects with Wattis Institute, [20] [ failed verification ] Kadist Foundation, [21] Ulrich Museum of Art, [22] [ failed verification ] di Rosa, [23] Headlands Center of the Arts, [24] and in 2015 had a solo MATRIX exhibition at the Berkeley Museum of Art/Pacific Film Archive. [16] [25] Will Brown was awarded a Creative Fund Grant in collaboration with the San Francisco Art Institute in 2015. [26] [27]

Mona Kuhn is a German-Brazilian contemporary photographer best known for her large-scale photographs of the human form and essence. An underlying current in Kuhn's work is her reflection on our longing for spiritual connection and solidarity. As a result, her approach is unusual in that she develops close relationships with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable intimacy. Kuhn's work shows the human body in its natural state while simultaneously re-interpreting the nude as a contemporary canon of art. Her work often references classical themes, has been exhibited internationally, and is held in several collections including the J. Paul Getty Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hammer Museum and the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

J. John Priola is a San Francisco-based contemporary visual artist and educator. He is known for photographic series capturing humble, generally inanimate subjects that explore human presence, absence and loss through visual metaphor. Priola's mature work can be broadly divided into earlier black-and-white, gelatin-silver series—formal elegant, painterly works largely focused on everyday objects and architectural details elevated to portraits—and later color series, which gradually shifted from architectural settings to detailed, varied explorations of the often-conflicted human relationship to nature. San Francisco Chronicle critic Kenneth Baker situated Priola's images "on the border between documentary and conceptual art," where they function as surveys of under-noticed details that "remind us how many potential questions, how much intimate domestic history, may lie embedded on the margins of our attention."
