DESCRIPTION:SOMArts Cultural Center presents Overturn the Artifice, a group exhibition 
 March 8–29, 2013, 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.\n\nThe opening reception on 
 Friday, March 8, 6pm to 9pm includes performances by Bert Bergen, Ryan 
 Noble and Krizstina Lazar. Video archiving these performances remains on 
 view in the gallery throughout the exhibition.\n\nIn “You Destroy Me/I 
 Destroy You”, Noble directly engages with a massive, classically-rendered 
 male bust, literally struggling to carry this piece in a contemporary 
 performance context. Bergen offers “The Fetid Chasm of Transgression,” 
 described by the artist as a “magico-religious impalement ritual.” 
 Krisztina Lazar’s “Cocoon” explores the point in time when incubation 
 and transformation become imperative to the survival of the organism.  
 \n\nOverturn the Artifice is one of four exhibition proposals selected to 
 receive a 2012–13 Commons Curatorial Residency exhibition at SOMArts. 
 Selected artists and curators receive curatorial stipends and a support 
 package valued at over $20,000, as well as access to one of the largest and 
 most beautiful gallery spaces in the heart of the city to expand their 
 practice, engage the Bay Area’s cultural communities and turn vision into 
 reality.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/01/29/18730966.php
