Point of No Return is a juried exhibition of artwork by Northern California's artists. Southern Exposure's juried exhibition has become an important showcase of contemporary artwork by promising local talent. Each year a different theme is selected to inspire and encourage a broad level of artistic expression. This year's forward-looking theme, Point of No Return, encouraged submissions by artists who are singularly invested in their practice, who have no intention of returning, who are, in a sense, defiantly themselves.

Over the course of two days, over 600 Northern Californian artists entered their work in person, attesting to the extreme popularity of the show. The final 46 pieces were selected by juror, Hesse McGraw, who made his decisions by blind process. 

The gallery is located at 3030 20th Street @ Alabama San Francisco, CA 94110

FIGURINE is now live

Our new project, Figurine, is now live. Jeff Koon and Maurizio Cattelan's stickers are online. 

Figurine is a set of virtual soccer players created with Electronic Arts’ GameFace technology by Coll.eo. GameFace is a customization tool available at easports.com and compatible with such videogames as FIFA Soccer, NHL Hockey and John Madden Football. The depicted athletes in the series are digital replicas of internationally known contemporary artists. The project comprises “real” stickers measuring 84 x 55mm or 3.30 x 2.17", machinima (videos), screenshots, and C-Prints on archival paper.

Full project description available here.

The first two videos are here.

New stickers will be posted shortly.
