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
Narcissister’s performances blow up the patriarchal bridge between the simultaneous objectification and policing of female bodies. A fearless persona that stages “porn in an art context,” such as a reverse striptease in which clothing emerges from “her” body, Narcissister just as frequently breaks open popular forums. TMZ melted down over Narcissister as Marilyn Manson’s crotchless companion, she received an all-thumbs-up rave on America’s Got Talent, and the Huffington Post hailed her masked activist as the first Topless Feminist Superhero.
