DESCRIPTION:ROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second Saturday July 2009: Family Pictures\nCurated

 2009\n\nOpening Reception: Saturday, July 11th, 7–10 pm\n \nSAN 
 FRANCISCO, CA – When curator Michelle Townsend first proposed the 
 exhibition Family Pictures, she was not yet expecting what would became a 
 baby boy, born at the precise time she was to review submissions.  Just as 
 baby Nolan chose to be born outside the confines of a typical 9-month 
 gestation, so to the 33 artists in Family Pictures have chosen to defy 
 orthodox definitions of family.  Bay Area artists (and curators) are 
 shaking off the trappings of gender, age, and bloodline.    \n\nIn order to 
 best visualize the collective insight born of this exhibition, we need but 
 to borrow one thing from the past – Technicolor. We, a most strange and 
 adaptive species, are looking for, and finding, fresh ways to experience 
 belonging.  The age of the nuclear family was, in retrospect, sterile and 
 pale.  \n\nArt has always been a form of protest and Family Pictures does 
 not digress.  There is an underlying fever in the work, a pie-in-the-face 
 aimed at any formula for genealogical harmony.  Perhaps one should not be 
 surprised, bearing in mind the recent politicization and subsequent 
 disallowance of something as integral to family life as marriage.
