DESCRIPTION:http://www.somarts.org/hiddencitiesopens/\n\nHidden Cities, curated by 
 Pireeni Sundaralingam and featuring 26 moving and still images and 
 interactive, site-specific installations that rethink urban space in San 
 Francisco. In Hidden Cities, the second of three SOMArts Commons Curatorial 
 Residency exhibitions in 2014, exhibiting urban activist-artists, including 
 architects and social interventionists, reveal the overlooked within the 
 city, make visible the invisible, give voice to the unheard and encourage 
 the gallery visitor to physically explore urban social and spatial 
 structures in new ways.\n\nThe opening showcases a range of performative 
 practices that engage both the artist and gallery visitor in co-production. 
 Several of the artists will give 3-minute introductions to their pieces. A 
 parkour team demonstrates new ways to investigate San Francisco’s 
 architecture by interacting with its physical spaces. Urban-activist 
 groups, including Lemonopoly and Kearny Street Workshop, will move about 
 the gallery during the reception and provide roving, interactive 
 explorations of their perspectives on hidden aspects of the city.\n\n“The 
 Sludge Economy”, a large-scale map of San Francisco by Lize Mogel, 
 straddles the fields of art and cultural geography, reveals the 
 infrastructure of human waste, specifically sewage treatment plants, and 
 the social, environmental, and racial justice issues that are sometimes 
 equally as invisible as the physical infrastructure. A chocolate cake 
 designed by Mogel and printed with locations of sewage plants as a visual 
 aid and dessert will be served at the opening reception. \n\n
