DESCRIPTION: Wherever We Go: Art, Identity, Cultures in Transit\n\n Tuesdays through 
 Saturdays from 11:00am to 6:00pm—at the Walter and McBean Galleries on 
 the SFAI campus.\n\nPhase 2\nOpening reception: Thursday, 19 July 
 2007\n5:30–7:30pm\nExhibition dates: 20 July 2007–15 September 
 2007\n\nIn Wherever We Go: Art, Identity, Cultures in Transit, the concept 
 of identity—like the artists in the exhibition themselves—has taken 
 leave, at least partially, of its origins. For here identity is defined in 
 terms not so much of geographical roots as of cultural experiences and 
 relationships. Informed by subtle reflections on this mutating concept, 
 each of the works in the exhibition is the fruit of a reflection-action 
 that recounts things about the world in which its maker was born, but also 
 about the world in which he or she now lives. Thus, identities are 
 represented and exemplified as no longer fixed once and for all, but as 
 floating free, as resisting the urge to be oversimplified and boxed in. 
 This process also makes a significant impact on the transformation of each 
 locality the migrants travel to and settle in.\n\nAn open field for 
 comparisons and a mise-en-scène of crucial contemporary questions, 
 Wherever We Go is curated by Hou Hanru and Gabi Scardi and first premiered 
 in October 2006 at the Spazio Oberdan in Milan. Presented in association 
 with the Province of Milan and the Museo della Fotografia Contemporanea, 
 the exhibition comprises fifty works by twenty-three artists.\n\nThe 
 artists for phase one are Adel Abdessemed; Yael Bartana; Banu Cennetoğlu; 
 Latifa Echakhch; Ni Haifeng; Huang Yong-Ping; Mella Jaarsma; Koo Jeong-A; 
 Tsuyoshi Ozawa; Adrian Paci; Shen Yuan; and Nari Ward.\n\nThe artists for 
 phase two are Nindityo Adipurnomo; Kristine Alksne; M. T. Alves; Keren 
 Amiran; Carlos Amorales; Maja Bajevič and Danica Dakič; Magali Claude; H. 
 H. Lim; Elena Nemkova; and Pascale Marthine Tayou.\n\nThe exhibition is 
 accompanied by a catalogue containing color photographs and biographies of 
 the artists as well as critical essays by Elvan Zabunyan, Gilane Tawadros, 
 Pier Luigi Tazzi, and the two curators.\n\nSupport for Wherever We Go has 
 been provided by Paule Anglim and Deitch Projects, New York. SFAI's 
 exhibitions and public programs are supported in part by the Grants for the 
 Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.\n
