“Smoky’s Boutique: A Menagerie of Insanity” Art Party | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Blackball Universe proudly presents “Smoky’s Boutique,” an experimental art party where you will get to experience multimedia art, hear live music and enjoy drinks and food on Friday, April 18, 2014.

The show features work by six young Bay Area artists: Kate Klingbeil, Anna McNeary, Whitney Sharpe, Nasimeh Bahrayni, Brooke Burrows and Grace Lannon. These six artists, all in their twenties, navigate a world of expanding technological selfhood and shifting consciousness. Come to the gallery and ask yourself: Do we rebel through stillness or through screaming?

“Smoky’s Boutique” Concept:

We want to explode your inner consciousness. On the one hand riots of color and the other sparseness. What is abundance and what is lack? In a cluttered world we strive to collect but can we ever really own anything? Where our bodies end and technology meets us, we shudder at the prospect that machines will inhabit our brains and destroy us. Who can claim “sanity” in a hostile world? As government and economic systems operate against logic and against sense, we the citizens feel our minds tremble and are condemned as “insane.” Reclaim yourself within insanity, and make the choice: Will you calm your mind or explode your senses to get there?
