Join CounterPulse & Artspan for a reception for works by Brea Weinreb
On view in the CounterPulse gallery Feb 7– Apr 14, 2019.
About the artist:
Brea Weinreb is a visual artist and writer who is currently exploring ways to bend the practice of citation and restructure rituals of paying tribute. Brea holds a dual BFA in Art Practice and English from UC Berkeley and is a member of CTRL+SHFT Collective in Oakland.
when you lay your body on mine is a mixed-media exhibition that explores what happens when queer bodies meet, both in the same plane and across different realities. Through painting, installation, film and performance I seek to uncover the intellectual, sexual and cosmic connections that exist between the living, breathing bodies of those in my community and of the LGBT artists, activists, and thinkers who died before our time.
As part of the exhibit, Bay Area drag performer Venus Soleil will be dancing in an installation involving projected archival footage.

About Artspan's Art-in-Neighborhoods program
ArtSpan’s Art-in-Neighborhoods program serves the city of San Francisco by connecting communities with local artists while activating spaces with vibrant, locally-made artwork. ArtSpan partners with local businesses and building owners to bring art studios, art exhibitions, and art events to businesses, dormant storefronts, and empty spaces. Local artists who are ArtSpan members are given the opportunity to create, display, promote, and sell their artwork in these diverse venues. All aspects of the program allow otherwise unused walls, spaces, or properties to become creative arenas for celebrating local arts.
