Off Hours

Back in February, Nancy Jean Guerrero’s solo show “In the Manner of a Ghost” opened at Right Window. We also wrote a zine—but you can’t have one, because they were all gone right after the opening! Thank you @nancyjeanguerrero for trusting us to mediate your work. We loved working with you and feels fundamentally changed ❤️

Dive Barn is an annual arts and music gathering celebrating creativity and connection in a stunning rural setting. We designed the identity, merch, signage, and socials for the most recent iteration of the event. The identity builds on an archival logo inspired by notions of fossilized tech and corporatized agricultural systems. We led with a rejection of agro-chemical monoculture and foregrounded a post-tech detritus sensibility. By prioritizing analog methods, we experimented with wax, sun exposure, insect interactions, and Maria’s backyard garden to uniquely weather the graphics and type. We designed a guide for attendees that included maps for the art installations and hand painted signage denoting facilities and camping areas. We took care in highlighting the existing character of the festival grounds, the Yorkville Schoolhouse Ranch, a property stewarded by the Henderson/Carlson family. In collaboration with Dive Barn organizers Joel Lithgow (@thisisahousegallery ), Katherine Jemima Hamilton (@offhours_sf ), and the Henderson/Carlson family (@inggybinggy ).

We hosted artists, curators, and a geographer - YES! A GEOGRAPHER! - in the gallery today. @offhours_sf and @rachel_geography_gal got to sit down with “to arrive is never to arrive” artists @art_is_a_scam being_moli and @sanaz_safanassab to talk about migration and art.

See “to arrive is never to arrive” at @skylinecollegeartgallery before the exhibition closes March 20th. The exhibition features the work of @art_is_a_scam @sanaz_safanassab @beingmoli on view Monday - Friday from 12-4 pm. The artists will be in conversation with Skyline professor of geography, Rachel Cunningham, on March 10 at 11am at the gallery. Lunch will be served—program is free! ❤️

This is Professor Rachel Cunningham! She’ll be in conversation with the three artists in “to arrive is never to arrive” at @skylinecollegeartgallery on March 10 at 11 am. Come for a conversation about migration, geography, and stay for the free lunch. About Professor Cunningham: Born and raised in Northern California, Rachel was that kid who always had too many interests and wanted to do everything. Somehow, she managed to fit a little of everything into her undergraduate studies at University of California, Davis: with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Horticulture & Urban Forestry and a minor in Theatre Arts. After graduation, she worked on a native grass farm in Winters, where she realized that plants are cool, but seeing how people thought about plants was even cooler. She went back to school, earning her Masters degree in Geography at San Francisco State University. Her research focus is on environmental perceptions, especially around natural hazards. She caught the teaching bug after working as a TA in grad school, and has been working in education - whether college, K-12, or public museums - since 2014.

What happens when migrants take charge of the stories told about their experience? The latest Skyline College Art Gallery art exhibition, “to arrive is never to arrive,” proposes this question. At this event, guest curators Off Hours, artists Javier Roberto Carlos, Lorena Molina, Sanaz Safanasab, and geography professor Rachel Cunningham will be in conversation. Join us for great food and conversation. March 10 | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. | Art Gallery
