Work by John-Mark Ikeda
Curated by Amy Cancelmo

Artist Reception: Thursday, December 13th, 5:30 pm-9 pm
Spare Change Artist Space | 465 California Street, Suite 838

Root Division is thrilled to partner with Rhodes & Fletcher LLC to curate Spare Change with the work of our Studio Artists and Affiliates. Current Studio Artist, John-Mark Ikeda uses symbols of ordinary business accoutrements in his video, print, and augmented reality works. Illustrating “the moment when myths deteriorate,” these familiar icons are disempowered through their use as metaphor for a growing disenchantment with the promises of free enterprise. Disassembled, deconstructed, mis-used, manipulated and analyzed, Ikeda demonstrates a mastery over traditional business vices and the ideas they represent.

Artist Reception: Thursday, December 13th, 2012, 5:30 pm-9:30 pm
Exhibition Dates: December 13th - February 28th, 2013

ABOUT ROOT DIVISION:
Root Division is an arts & arts education non-profit located in the Mission District of San Francisco. Root Division's mission is to improve appreciation and access to the visual arts by connecting personal inspiration and community participation. We provide subsidized studio space to working artists in exchange for their service in creating shared learning opportunities for the community. Artists develop creatively and professionally by teaching art to underserved youth, leading adult education classes, and producing exhibitions that showcase local emerging artwork. By combining multiple opportunities for creative exchange, Root Division cultivates an artistic ecosystem that enriches life throughout the Bay Area.
