On Thurs 9/14, please join the Facebook Artist in Residence program (FB AIR) to celebrate the closing of *Group Hang,* our first public group exhibition, and the publication of *Open Form,* our gorgeous new hardbound, 480pp book that showcases over 200 site-specific installations completed globally by AIRs since 2012. The book also includes a fascinating longform introductory essay by curator and scholar Natasha Boas that traces the evolution of Bay Area counterculture and cyberculture and examines the intersections between tech and art and the creative minds working in both fields.
*Group Hang* marks the 5th anniversary of the founding of FB AIR, and features new work by 50 artists who have since completed site-specific installations and/or special projects at Facebook's corporate headquarters in Menlo Park. FB AIR was formed in 2012 as an initiative of Facebook's Analog Research Laboratory, an in-house analog design/print studio created by Facebook designers who wanted to step away from their screens and get back to their roots as physical makers. FB AIR invites artists to create site-specific art installations at HQ and, increasingly, at offices around the world. Its primary goals are to foster connections between cultural producers and diverse audiences globally, and support artists at all career stages.
FB AIR believes that art and artists are essential in society and deserve ongoing support as well as platforms for experimentation and engagement.
All proceeds from the sale of the book at the event will benefit The Lab, one of San Francisco's most beloved cultural nonprofit organizations. ALL ARE WELCOME.
