Detritus

The group exhibition Detritus examines the leftover scraps and byproducts of the art-making process from a multitude of Bay Area artists’ studios. By featuring no works of art, guest curators Kevin B. Chen, Lisa Ellsworth and Lordy Rodriguez invite both viewers and participating artists alike to consider their own valuation system when looking at and thinking about art. The display of materials gathered from more than 100 artists offers a glimpse into the time and labor spent in producing their work and shifts the focus from art as commodity to the core value of art making.
