Description
Ampersand is happy to present HOME.
This exhibition runs from June 12th to July 10th, 2009

Ampersand has invited four local art aficionados to curate the first Young Ampersand exhibition: Jesse Brown, Rachel Hooper, Saskia Mauro and Theodora Mauro are childhood friends; they all studied art history and art making and have grown up in homes where art criticism, art collecting and art making are an everyday reality.
Choosing a subject familiar to all, the HOME curators explore individual interpretations of the idea of Home, by recent Art School graduates, all visual artists linked to the San Francisco Bay Area.
The artists participating in HOME are:
Gideon Chase, Hannah Hooper, Andrew Kirk, Max Schoening, Ethan Scott .
(photography, drawing, painting )
The curators’statement : "With rising foreclosure rates and the current uncertain state of the economy in the United States, homes have become not only symbols of refuge, but thwarted symbols of the 'American Dream'.
