The Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series (VAS) provides a forum for engagement and dialogue with major figures in international contemporary art and culture. Through lectures, screenings, and performances, the series creates intimate connections between SFAI and the public, and invites individuals to contribute to the spirit of curiosity that drives the SFAI community.
SFAI Social Hour: Join the SFAI community for informal social gatherings to each VAS lecture. SFAI Café, 6-7pm
Leigh Ledare Straddles the troublemaking potential of photography, and the real-life, hard to fathom, scenarios in which he’s tinged by the firs. These include an ongoing, oedipal exploration of the erotic life of his mother; Double Bind, for which the artist photographed his ex-wife, and subsequently arranged for her husband to duplicate the image from his perspective; and images of Ledare, constructed following his reply to Craigslist’s “Women Seeking Men” posts. It’s all too bare, honest, and uneasy to look away.
