DESCRIPTION:Intersection for the Arts proudly presents Let’s Talk of a System, a 
 group exhibition that takes its inspiration and title from a quote by 
 renowned German theorist and artist Joseph Beuys:\n\n“Let's talk of a 
 system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in 
 which the entire process of work is included…something in which the 
 principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a 
 Gigantic project.”\n\nThis exhibition positions artists and the act of 
 cultural production at the forefront of the burgeoning field of social 
 entrepreneurialism, a field that utilizes entrepreneurial principles to 
 organize, create, and manage projects that can effect social change.  In 
 this exhibition, issues of climate change, sustainable agriculture, 
 transnational industry, fair trade, social justice, and youth empowerment 
 form the broad foundation from which art can be seen as playing a crucial 
 role in identifying and illustrating social issues, as well as providing 
 creative, and oftentimes, concrete solutions. \n\nIn its 45th year of 
 operation, Intersection is opening a new gallery space in conjunction with 
 an innovative, cross-sector project in the Chronicle building located at 
 the corner of 5th and Mission Streets in downtown San Francisco.  
 Partnering with The Hub Bay Area, a co-working space, event series and 
 business support tool for a global and local community of changemakers and 
 social entrepreneurs, and TechShop, a membership-based do-it-yourself 
 workshop that provides access to tools, equipment, instruction for creative 
 communities - Intersection continues to build upon its rich legacy in 
 positioning arts and culture as necessary components for healthy civic 
 life. This unique collaboration continues Intersection's commitment to the 
 powerful role arts and culture play in tackling the world’s most pressing 
 social, cultural, and environmental challenges. This collaboration is part 
 of a prototype for a new, open urban campus of for-profit and non-profit 
 businesses, artists and entrepreneurs that dissolves boundaries and 
 consistently instigates synergistic collaboration across disciplines in 
 order to inspire and enable new ideas for change.\n\nLet’s Talk of a 
 System opens the conversation of how to create meaningful social change in 
 today’s world.  Some of the work in the exhibition exposes economic, 
 industrial and global systems that generate inequality, injustice, and 
 unbalance; other work in the exhibition provides both generative ideas and 
 concrete actions to manifest change. \n
