As Yet Untitled:

Artists and Writers in Collaboration

David Horvitz

January 6 - April 16, 2011

As Yet Untitled: Artists and Writers in Collaboration features newly commissioned work that explores the relationship between the photographic arts and writing. Conceived as an experimental proposition, the artists and writers were brought together because of the diversity of their practices. This project-based model affords the possibility for all involved to engage in dialogue, forge connections, reveal disjunctures, and imagine a future for these two mediums. Featuring new projects by: Anne Colvin and Stuart Krimko; Colter Jacobsen and Dodie Bellamy with Publication Studio; Nonsite Collective; Matt Lipps and Nona Caspers; RJ Muna and Guillermo Gómez-Peña with La Pocha Nostra; and David Horvitz with Zach Houston and Ed Steck.

The City Unfolded:

First Exposures and 826 Valencia in Collaboration

January 6 - April 16, 2011

The City Unfolded: is a presentation of collaborative work by First Exposures and 826 Valencia students. During the spring of 2010, the students of First Exposures and 826 Valencia came together every Saturday to tell the real and imagined stories of San Francisco. The students formed 13 groups, and each group was asked to imaginatively interpret the City through words and photographs. Exploring ideas and neighborhoods, visions began forming of how they saw both themselves living within the city, and the city itself. During the summer, the students reconvened to edit their final projects for presentation in the public domain of bus shelters throughout San Francisco.
