Lesser But Vital Practices Artist Talk

Lesser But Vital Practices is a happy hour and public lecture accompanying Frontrunners: The San Francisco Foundation 2011 Murphy and Cadogen Fellowship Awards Exhibition. Lesser But Vital Practices investigates the inspiration artists draw from seemingly non-arts based practices. Seven exhibiting artists will lecture briefly on a topic that may initially seem only tangentially related to their artwork. These lectures may resemble miniature TED Talks. Lesser But Vital Practices hones in on where exhibiting artists find their inspiration and how these practices, be they artistic or otherwise, filter into the production of their artwork. The talks are a celebration of creativity in any form and highlight the unique constellation of influences which drives each individual artist. Arrive at 5:30 to have a glass of wine and contemplate the work of all 23 artists exhibited as part of Frontrunners: The San Francisco Foundation 2011 Murphy and Cadogen Fellowship Awards Exhibition, August 17 - September 16, 2011. Lectures begin at 6:00PM.
