DESCRIPTION:Opening Night Reception:  Feb. 8, 6:30 (exhibit followed by film)\nExhibit 
 runs from Feb. 11- March 25/ Exhibit hours - Monday - Thursday: 10 am - 6 
 pm; Friday: 10 am - 4 pm\n\nThe exhibit Poetry of the Underground depicts 
 the young and non-established artistic and literary scene of the 1980´s in 
 the German Democratic Republic (former East Germany). During this period 
 most art that wasn’t sanctioned by the State was illegal, or at least 
 unwelcome - mostly for questioning authority. Twenty years after the fall 
 of the Berlin Wall, it was time to document this historical period. The 
 exhibit made its debut in November 2009 in Prenzlauer Berg/Berlin, where 
 the rebellion and uprising against the establishment had begun 30 years 
 earlier: Many renowned artists of today emerged from this art scene: Thomas 
 Florschütz, Ralf Kerbach and Cornelia Schleime, to name a few. To date, 
 the exhibit has traveled to nine other destinations, from New York and 
 Switzerland to Greece. \n\nThe exhibit in San Francisco, in conjunction 
 with a second exhibit at Mills College - an independent liberal arts 
 college for women in Oakland – will solely show artwork from woman 
 artists. The exclusive feminine focus of this exhibit does not stem from a 
 specifically feminist view or subliminal feminist ideology, but rather the 
 simple fact that at the time, the art scene was not always perceptive 
 enough to duly recognize women’s artwork. The exhibit presents relatively 
 unknown silkscreens, original graphic posters and portfolios from Magdalene 
 Häfner, Angela Hampel, Sabine Herrmannn, Uta Hünniger, Sabine Jahn, Helga 
 Paris, Mita Schamal, Cornelia Schleime, Heike Stephan, Karla Woisnitza and 
 Tanja Zimmermann.Thomas Günther, Curator (Co-Curators Ingeborg Quaas & Uwe 
 Warnke) \n\nOpening Night reception followed by the film, Gegenbilder 
 (Counter-Images) - GDR Underground Films 1983 – 1989:\nIn a country where 
 all art and access to art materials was subject to state control, the 
 Super-8 film format provided underground artists with a new form of 
 expression.   Counter-Images is a selection of ten Super-8 films made 
 between 1983 and 1989 by young East German artists, musicians, performers 
 and writers, who produced their films outside official channels. Many of 
 the directors in this collection – such as Helge Leiberg, Via 
 Lewandowsky, and Cornelia Schleime – have now become leading figures in 
 the international art world.\n\n\n
