"What Tethers Us?" is a visual and performative love letter to the late Monica Maduro, former Board member of the Fine Arts Museums, celebrating the enduring creative spirit and the greater San Francisco avante guarde artist community. Among her many accomplishments, Monica created the Figurehead to the famed "La Contessa," which was a highly-realistic, interactive replica of a Spanish galleon, originally built for the festival Burning Man.
This show is curated by Deidre de Franceaux, long-time friend of Monica Maduro and critically acclaimed artist who will debut "Deep Waters," a series of large, mixed-media paintings about women overcoming deep psychological pain. She has assembled an exciting selection of work on the theme from 18 noted and up-and-coming local artists across all media; painting, sculpture, video installation, film, fashion, photography, music, and performance.
Featuring art by Deidre DeFranceaux, Kaytee Papusza, Karen Cusolito of American Steel, Michael Sturtz founder of the Crucible, Justin Young, Rebecca Anders of Flux, Dana Albany, Flash Hopkins of "Doing DaVinci" fame, Haideen Anderson Kennedy, Michael Rauner, Paz De La Calzada, Tucker Eason, and Will Allen. With live performances by The Vau de Vire Society, Extra Action Marching Band, Sanaz Gangei, and DJ Justin Credible. Sound Healing with Jules Sears of Primal Peace Sound Healing. Hosted by Steven Raspa.
This event is a collaboration between many artists who were collaborators, friends and family members of FAMSF’s beloved Trustee Monica Maduro who died last October. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for the community to celebrate the life of Monica, as well as provide a pathway for each of us to explore the aspects of the creative spirit that keep us alive in life - and in legacy - connected to each other.
