Vice: Serigrafía Global: una exhibición sobre género y visión estética by Sergio Pérez Gavilán

Serigrafía Global: una exhibición sobre género y visión estéticaTranslated in English:

Bringing together talents from around the world, Spoke Art San Francisco returns with a new exhibition entitled SERIGRAPH. Through giving absolute freedom to each of the artists to generate new visual proposals, this exhibition seeks to revitalize and celebrate the medium of analog printing, totally outside of an advertising or commercial context, with various aesthetic proposals that highlight the gender lines , background and aesthetic vision.

The works visible to the public, from November 30 to December 22, 2017, seek to show without masks or apologies the breadth of the medium as a means of expression. Be it surrealist landscapes with pop tints, hyperrealist portraits or strange unions between animé aesthetics and art noveau, SERIGRAPH will converge on how things really do not depend on the medium, but on the intention and the artistic vision.

Social justice political posters from the 1960s to present day, including those relating to the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter, are on display at The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).

“I really like the juxtaposition of the old and the new posters,” stated Yagna Madala, a Los Angeles resident and modern art fan who visited San Francisco for a vacation.

The exhibit comes at a time of growing political tension in the country which has promoted a deep divide between both political parties on issues such as the rescindment of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), social activist movements such as Black Lives Matter and increased hostilities with North Korea.

Various anti-war, Black Panthers rally, anti-Nazi and pro-free speech posters decorate the glass protected wall in this exhibit, titled “Get with the Action.” It started on Sept. 16 and is scheduled to continue until spring 2018.

The exhibit, located in a small room on the third floor, stands out from the regular photography art displays. According to Ian Wagner, a museum visitor experience assistant at the MOMA, it is one of the most popular exhibits on the floor.

Print Magazine: Protest, Resist, Protest More by Steven Heller

Weekend Heller: Protest, Resist, Protest More! by Steven Heller on September 30, 2017From Print Magazine: Protest, Resist, Protest More! by Steven Heller on September 30, 2017

The most lasting sign I recall from the Woman’s March last January, the day after Donald Trump’s huge inauguration, was “I can’t believe we’re still protesting this shit.” That truth is brought to the fore in SFMOMA’s exhibition “Get With the Action: Political Posters From the 1960s to Now.”

“This exhibition presents the political poster as a powerful tool for organizing and activating communities in response to some of the most pressing issues over the past 50 years, from the Civil Rights and Anti-War movements to social justice, immigration, environmental causes and more,” notes the exhibition’s website.
