DESCRIPTION:Exhibition and events offer a bolstering sense of community in the midst of 
 a tumultuous political era.\n\nOn the eve of the inauguration, and into the 
 first days of a new regime, Resistance Training, a presentation of recent a 
 new artwork and activism, provides a needed opportunity to gather aesthetic 
 and artist community forces and brace for what comes next. Organized by 
 curator Glen Helfand, the exhibition focuses on aesthetic gestures that 
 offer models of resistance to negative shifts and ideas for action, be they 
 poetic, ideological, or forceful protest. The location on the Mills College 
 campus offers the opportunity to create a space for gathering that draws 
 upon intellectual resources and dialogs.\n\nIn the realm of fitness, the 
 term resistance training refers to exercising muscles using an opposing 
 force. The official transition of power to a game changing new U.S. 
 president, which occurs on January 20, is a large, heavyweight force to 
 oppose with the purpose of becoming stronger. Various communities, artists 
 and activists, are banding together in dialogue and creative action to 
 engage strategies for survival in what promises to be a challenging 
 period.\n\nThe exhibition will include artworks, actions, and demos of 
 strategies for survival. Artists include Luke Butler, Ana Teresa Fernandez, 
 Sarah Hotchkiss, Omar Mismar, Melissa Wyman, Rachel Weidinger, Andrea 
 Bowers, Alex Molinari, and others. Resistance Training also will include 
 Post Fax, a faxing campaign targeting office workers, interns, and others 
 with pertinent messages sent through a form more tactile, and perhaps 
 urgent, than social media; and be an affiliated venue for 100 Days, an 
 artist-organized calendar featuring one daily artistic response to 
 Trump’s first 100 days in office. \n\n\nJanuary 18 - February 10, 
 2017\nOpening Reception: Wednesday, January 18, 6-8 pm \n
