DESCRIPTION:Group exhibition Work More #6 (March 28–April 24) situates San 
 Francisco’s avant-garde and traditional drag practices within a gallery 
 space, re-contextualizing the artistry, aesthetics and forms that are 
 ever-present and continually evolving in San Francisco’s nightlife 
 venues. In the gallery among the art we will explore questions of 
 authenticity and “outsider art” with our panelists Julie Phelps 
 (Counterpulse), Bettie-Sue Hertz (YBCA), Matt Sussman (Art Practical), 
 Sarah Sass Biscarra-Dilley (Work MORE! Curator) and moderator Cara Rose 
 DeFabio.\n\nRecently museums have taken a renewed interest in curating 
 performance in their galleries. Not since the 1960′s, when the genre of 
 performance art was being forged as a way of addressing issues of the body 
 and the commodification of art objects, has there ever been so much live 
 art in major museums. As drag and other queer performance practices enter 
 the gallery, what might be gained or lost in this transaction? Will the 
 frame of the museum legitimize the form as art, or is the institution 
 simply commodifying queer culture?\n\nFollowing the panel the group 
 Womenhouse activates through a series of performances a new, collaborative 
 work that draws inspiration from feminist artists and collectives from the 
 1970’s and other historically rich moments. The group draws special 
 attention and inspiration from the exclusively female class and proceeding 
 art exhibit known as “Womanhouse” organized by Judy Chicago and Miriam 
 Schapiro in 1972. In an art world fixated on failure, genius, and unpaid 
 interns, queens are the closest thing to the ongoing tradition of a 
 feminist collective. Performances that evening by members of Womenhouse: 
 Dam Dyke, Mutha Chucka, Sue Casa, Sugah Betes, Fauxnique, Mona G. Hawd and 
 envisioned/organized Lydia Brunch (Kolmel WithLove).\n\nHow Much: Free
