nnounce

Programming for the third edition of Untitled Art, San Francisco is organized by Programming Director, Amanda Schmitt. Working with a number of the fair’s non- profit and cultural collaborators and exhibitors, programming turns to timely topics that address ideas that have historically been a significant part of the Bay Area’s cultural landscape such as notions of freedom of speech, activism, environmental concerns, collective operations, and cultural misconceptions.

highlights for programming and the live broadcast of the Untitled Art, Podcast for the third

edition of Untitled Art, San Francisco taking place at Pier 35, 1454 The Embarcadero,

January 18 – 20, 2019.

To coincide with the 2019 Women's March on January 19th, The UC Berkeley Art Museum

and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) will present a pop-up installation of its Fisher Family

Art Lab, a participatory art-making space housed within the museum. Continuing the

tradition of collaborating with artists and activists to create political poster art using the

museum's Risograph print resource, the Art Lab has partnered with Bay Area artist

Masako Miki to produce a new commissioned Risograph print. The print will be available

at Untitled Art, San Francisco and Miki will join BAMPFA staff in leading a free poster-

making workshop in the booth on Friday, January 18th from 1 – 5pm. The workshop also

coincides with Miki's current solo exhibitions Masako Miki / MATRIX 273 at BAMPFA

(January 9–April 28, 2019).

Oakland-based artist Michele Pred also uses the occasion of the 2019 Global Women’s

March and Rally to present another type of march within the structure of the fair.

Hundreds of participants will silently march through the Pier 35 wearing artist-designed

t-shirts that read both “My Body, My Business” and “Her Body, Her Business”. Wearers

of the shirt will be able to choose which statement they identify with most. The visual

concentration of visitors wearing the shirts at the fair will act as a silent but powerful

march so that those participating in and visiting the fair may continue to protest and

vocalize (visually) their beliefs. Pred’s performance is presented by Untitled Art, San

Francisco exhibitor Nancy Hoffman Gallery.

Bonanza - the collaborative practice of Conrad Guevara, Lindsay Tully, and Lana Williams - will present The Young and the Restless, the newest line of clothing from BNNZA, the collective’s fashion brand. Inspired by a collection of late 90s R&B CDs found while scavenging for materials during the 2018 residency at Recology AIR, the clothing line draws on themes of self-expressive high school prom outfits, as well as the fashion and pop culture of the late 90s/early 2000s. With an emphasis on play and a jab at consumerism, Bonanza’s garments are part high-end, part homemade, and use discarded materials such as plastic tarps, Ikea bags, construction debris sacks, and bicycle lock chains. The garments will be presented at a fashion show at the Untitled Art Party at Minnesota Street Project on Saturday, January 19th from 7 – 10 pm, accompanied by a soundtrack of deejayed CDs found during the collective’s scavenging sessions. RSVP to this event is required.
Untitled Art, Podcast Live Programming
Presented in conjunction with the Untitled Art fairs in Miami Beach and San Francisco, Untitled Art, Podcast explores all things related to sound in contemporary art. The program will be broadcast live in partnership with the San Francisco Art Institute’s Art & Technology department and broadcast live over SFAI’s radio station, The Tower. All programming will be available to listen to on-site or via a web stream on twr.sfai.edu

Conversations:

Live programming of Untitled Art, Podcast will feature a series of engaging discussions on timely topics with notable figures. New York-based artist Virginia Overton will discuss her 2017 exhibition The Disagreeable Object, at The 500 Capp Street Foundation with its curators Bob Linder and Diego Villalobos. Abby Chen, Head of Contemporary Art at San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum and former Artistic Director of the Chinese Culture Center, will be in conversation with internationally recognized artist Cui Fei.

Beyond the White Cube: The Tradition of Non-Traditional in the Bay Area is a panel

discussion that investigates art spaces that defy the boundaries of the traditional white

cube exhibition space and asks what makes this specific to the art being produced and

presented throughout the Bay Area.

Panelists include Carla Emil (SFMoMA Trustee, Founder of C-Project); Diego Villalobos (Curator, The 500 Capp Street Foundation);
Darryl Smith (Founder, The Luggage Store); Gilberto Guerrero (President, Artists' Television Access); Sean Uyehara (Curator, Headlands Center for the Arts); and Amy Owen (Curator, di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art).

Participants include Marc Mayer (Senior Educator of Contemporary Art, Asian Art Museum); and Marie Martraire (Executive Director, KADIST).
