7:30 pm: Saving the Next to Last performance
Free; $10 Suggested Donation
Join Security Question artists for an evening wine reception
in the Brower Center’s Hazel Wolf Gallery. Artist Kim Miskowicz will
present a live edition of Saving the Next to Last, a “reverse
archive” of digital material transferred to the analog format of Super
8mm film. By documenting fake security questions and Google Earth
locations on celluloid, Miskowicz playfully argues that a physical
record might be more long-lasting than a digital one after all.
Our
sense of security holds broad implications for our personal lives and
political actions—informing decisions from the mundane to the momentous.
In an open call for entry, the Brower Center asked Bay Area artists to
offer a 21st century perspective on this complex and incredibly
significant concept. The result is Security Question, a juried
exhibition that embraces an expansive definition, exploring contemporary
military and police issues while widening the debate to include
environmental, social, and economic concerns. At times dark, humorous,
and hopeful, the featured artworks investigate our national and local
defense systems and explore whether security might also be found in our
connections to each other and the natural world.
