Transcendental Art Closing: Meditation & Free Shoe Shines | SoMa

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the closing event for SOMArts’ latest group exhibition “Overturn the Artifice” on Friday, March 29, 2013 from 6-9pm.

The event features “Nationwide Meditation,” an open meditation led by transcendental meditation teacher and practitioner Paul Brown from 6-7pm, as well as free shoe shines by Rachel and Jack Leamy in a sculptural installation “Sweetheart Chair” from 7-9pm. The shoe shine is an act of respectful service, and is given by Leamy and Leamy as a transformative gift and a wish for well being.

Overturn the Artifice is curated by one of SOMArts’ 2012–13 Commons Curatorial Residency recipients, Jack Leamy. Locally, nationally and internationally-recognized fine artists working in painting, installation, time-based media and performance strive to re-enfranchise the individual—politically, economically and socially—while transcending and transforming historically brutal narratives of nationalism, racism, genocide, misogyny, capitalism and conformity.
