Typically seen as more accessible relative to tra ditional painting or sculpture techniques\, the alternative works in this exhibition reveal a familiar yet fresh aesthetic persona that focuses on t he handmade. Ranging from ceramics\, airbrush\, textiles\, woodworking\, & neon sculpture\, this group show offers a wide breadth of creative explor ation. The level of DIY experimentation here presents a level of dynamism that becomes as much a celebration of craft in the Bay Area\, as it is a b reak from formal institutional seriousness. \n \nThis ethos is as much ref lected in the works displayed as in the venue itself. 120710 is a not-for- profit space for artists by artists to embrace curiosity & play. Our shows are diverse\, experimental\, and designed to foster grass-roots community growth. All proceeds are intended for the artists\, and we welcome collab orators of all walks & mediums. \n \nWe thank everyone involved in produc ing this show for their contributions and are excited to introduce the new est platform for Bay Area artists.

DESCRIPTION:

“Dude\, Where’s My School” is a group show of Alumni & Faculty from the recently shuttered San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI). F rom art collectives like Black Mountain College or PS1 to exhibition cohor ts like the Young British Artists\, or Cool School\, the idea of localized artist networks (or schools) has always been a marker for tracing art mov ements and public discourse.

\n \n

However\, during this post-covid era\, where we’re faced with endless visual content\, dubious pedagogic al legacies\, and greater artist autonomy\, the reliance on institutional monoliths to tell our stories feels redundant. As we’ve moved away from broadcast consumption on cable & radio to independent creator channels\, w e’re left with 20th-century archetypes that\, if not adapted\, feel obso lete.

\n \n

This group of SFAI artists all hail from the final years of the historic Art Institute. Although its closing may bring forth a my riad of emotions\, this body of creative thinkers survives the once-iconic institution. We are thus reminded that\, ultimately\, artists are the one s who move culture forward and unify communities. The demise of SFAI prove s allegorical to a pivotal moment in contemporary art\, where “no school ” artists are tasked with governing their own networks\, infrastructure\ , & legacy.

\n \n

120710 is a not for profit project space for artis ts by artists! Our mission\, much like the original SFAIs\, is to stay out of line by fostering disruptive grass-roots communities. We believe art i s integral and should exist without compromise.

The show is an eclectic attempt to bring these two pictorial/plastic modes into tension in order to explore how identity is constructed and how the mind makes or dissolves meaning.

This exhibit showcases an emotive co llection of works across diverse media\, delving into urgent concerns such as record-breaking heat\, rain and fire occurrences\, the plastic consump tion crisis\, and the profound impact of human infrastructure on the envir onment. In addition\, the exhibit provides insights into the intersection of Al with our comprehension of information and self-perception. \n \nIn a n era increasingly defined by extreme weather and environmental crises\, " Far away is NOW" invites viewers to confront the reality of the Anthropoce ne —the era of significant human impact on the Earth's geology and ecosy stems. \n \nThe exhibition brings together a diverse array of voices spann ing over a 40-year age difference among participants. This diverse assembl y not only amplifies the multifaceted nature of experiences but also under scores the essence of intersectionality in addressing climate change. Illu minating how various social identities -such as race\, gender\, age\, and socio-economic status - intersect and compound. "SOOT" by Stacy Goodman\, serves as a reminder of the inequality inherent in climate change impacts. Goodman's work emphasizes how geographical location significantly dictate s the quality of the air we breathe. Through this piece\, Goodman draws at tention to the differential effects of environmental crises\, shedding lig ht on how marginalized communities disproportionately bear the brunt of th ese consequences. \n \nCharlotta Hauksdottir's interactive photographic pi ece allows viewers to take home a fragment of the artwork. As more people interact\, the piece evolves and degrades\, symbolizing the transient and fragile nature of our environment. Alicia Escott creates bittersweet sculp tures that showcase the entanglement of humans\, technology and the enviro nment. \n \nAt the core of Brett Amory's work lies an exploration of the h uman condition and introspection. His art raises a critical question: how does our constant interaction with technology shape and influence us? By f eeding nonsense prompts into Al image generators\, he gets alien images ou t. This reflects the echo chambers of news and social media that contribut e to climate change denial: garbage in garbage out. Amory's art serves as a poignant reflection on the ways in which our relationship with technolog y molds our perspectives and behaviors\, ultimately influencing critical i ssues like climate change awareness and denial. \n \nIn a time when enviro nmental concerns dominate global discourse\, abstracted art offers a uniqu e communication that transcends traditional news outlets and social media. This visual form enables viewers to deeply engage with the extensive impa cts of human activities on our planet. Artists Hughen/ Starkweather and Li sa Kiros examine the human-environment interaction\, focusing on themes su ch as deforestation and the creation of man-made structures for water cont rol and shoreline construction. Meanwhile\, Ron Moultrie Saunders redefine s the typical use of photography\, harnessing the sun's power to create ab stract\, alternative-process photographs. These images compel viewers to r eflect on their personal experiences with extreme weather\, fostering an e motional understanding and connection with these environmental phenomena. \n \nThe artist team Judith Selby Lang and Richard Lang collect plastic de bris from a 1000-yard stretch of Kehoe Beach in Point Reyes. Addressing th e link between plastic production and oil\, they are creating an expansive installation that critiques our petroleum-based consumer culture. Francis Baker responds to society's obsession with plastic by cutting it up to si mulate the formation of microplastics. Utilizing these fragments and the p ower of the sun\, he crafts photograms that highlight the connection betwe en our actions\, their environmental consequences\, and the impact on the earths protection from the sun. To conclude the exhibition\, on January 20 th from 2-6 pm\, Judith Selby Lang\, Richard Lang\, and Francis Baker will host a participatory event. Here\, visitors can create their own photogra ms using the plastic debris from Kehoe Beach\, offering an engaging and ha nds-on experience in environmental art-making. \n \n120710 is committed to fostering experimentation in art\, providing the perfect backdrop for thi s exhibit. The artists have created new works that spark critical conversa tions about our collective future.

In a world where identity is a dynamic interplay of person al narratives\, cultural influences\, and self-perception\, these works go beyond the depiction of facial features\; they are windows into the soul\ , reflections of the myriad influences that shape one’s identity. “Mor e than a Face” is an invitation to engage with the multifaceted nature o f identity. It prompts reflection on the masks we wear\, the alter egos we cultivate\, and the unspoken narratives that lie beneath.

While AI operates in the abstract digit al field of information\, this exhibit highlights artworks with physical m ateriality\, often handmade\, that utilize AI as a key element in the crea tive process. This juxtaposition of the intangible with the tangible opens the opportunity for viewers to reflect on the timely debates about traini ng data\, bias\, ownership\, and the transference of creativity between di gital and physical realms.

Art should questio n the presence of technology in our lives and its invisible but profound i mpact on our behavior and ethics. \n

\n"Blooming Hallucination: Te chnology as Nature" challenges the traditional narrative that views techno logy as a dominating force\, separate and superior to the natural world. T his show presents a different perspective\, positioning technology as a pa rt of nature\, not an alien imposition. \n

\n"Blooming Hallucinati on" prompts a critical reassessment of technology's role. Rather than cele brating technological tools as solutions\, it explores how these tools can be reimagined to coexist\, develop narrative\, and delve into our underst anding of what is natural. \n

\nArtists from diverse backgrounds\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, New Mexico\, the Yucatán Peninsula\, Portland\, California\, Toronto\, the Bay Area\, Hawaii\, and the Ural reg ion\, bring this concept to life using new media and engaging with environ mental\, cosmic\, animal\, cybernetic\, and post-human themes. Their works encourage a reflection on our relationship with technology in relationshi p with nature\, emphasizing the need for thoughtful integration rather tha n unchecked advancement. \n

\nThis exhibition invites viewers to r econsider the role of technology\, seeing it not as the pinnacle of human achievement but as one element in a broader ecological conversation. It ad vocates for a future where progress is measured by our ability to sustaina bly integrate with the natural world.

Like ancient stargazers tracing constellations in the night sky\, these artists connect disparate fragment s in an attempt to comprehend the cryptic patterns of our world. The proce ss of collecting and transforming fragments into works of art underscores the shared energy economy that has always fueled the Bay Area's vibrant ar t community. In this communal system\, resources\, ideas\, and efforts are pooled together\, creating a dynamic energy source that artists can draw inspiration from and contribute to. Like skilled hunters and gatherers\, e ach artist brings their own scraps to the table\, and together\, they tran sform these humble beginnings into a feast.

Their wide-ranging wo rk makes evident that \nmotherhood does not dictate the subject matter\, b ut it does shape the conditions of \nproduction. Through painting\, cerami cs\, textiles\, photography\, printmaking and \nsculpture these artworks e xplore female embodiment\, anxiety for the future\, joyful \nplay\, labor\ , mortality and formal abstraction. Rather than subject matter\, the \ncon nective thread is the context from which this work originates: the collect ive \nexperience of matrescence in a culture that tells us that Artist and Mother are mutually \nexclusive roles. A fractured identity and the splin tering of one’s time and thought \nprocess often informs the way these a rtists create. When seen together\, their work \nraises the question: can a fragmented schedule and psyche be understood not only \nas an obstacle t o creativity\, but as a necessary condition for a particular kind of \ncre ative production? What can mothers make that others can’t? \n

\n Founded in 2017 by artists Ali True and Klea McKenna\, WOW MOM is a critiq ue \ngroup for working artists who are also moms. The founding intention w as to create \nprofessional level critique in a context of peer support fo r women navigating the art \nworld as new mothers. Throughout seven years of monthly meetings\, there has been \na changing cast of artists and faci litators\, and our mission has expanded to include \nartists at any stage of motherhood. WOW MOM is currently facilitated by Angie \nWilson and Yuli a Pinkusevich. This is our first exhibition of work by participating \nart ists.

\n Anxiety's visceral nature can amplify the powerful\, sometimes overwhelmin g sensations and \nelectrifying effects associated with being human—that we\, as animals\, reflexively respond to \nin our perpetually changing wo rld. The works in this exhibition fundamentally connect with \nus from a p lace beyond language—a place of the body. While it's unknown whether the se \nartists intentionally explored anxiety\, we imagine that their thinki ng\, working\, and material \nprocesses led them into this territory. \n
\nThe premise of Sweaty Armpits reminds us that experience begins w ith the body\, not just the \nmind. This truth grounds us in corporeal rea lity—as we encounter the world first through \nbodily sensations like sw eat and temperature—before forming abstract thoughts. The \nexhibition s ituates thinking itself as emerging from embodied existence\, not a disemb odied \nintellect\, insisting we recognize the primacy of our fleshly form s as the basis for \nconsciousness. \n

\nSweaty Armpits features a gathering of artists whose approaches to the innately human \nexperience of anxiety originate from diverse positions. This perspective reflects our actual \nworld\, highlighting both the universality and unique characteri stics of stress. \nUltimately\, the exhibition underscores our shared sens e of empathy and connection\, \nreminding us of a fundamental truth we fre quently overlook—we all live in bodies.

\n \n“Temporary Space” begins with t his intention\, a co-production of art works and the space of the gallery. Similarly\, the assembly of artists and the non-traditional hanging of th eir work will be another sort of co-production\, leveraging art’s power to rhyme\, resonate or shift in relation to its context. A conversation wi th participant Sally Goldstein helped establish the connective tissue of t his show\, including these concepts: \n

\nQuestion the picture pl ane \nUsing traditional media in untraditional ways \nUnsettling on purp ose\, possibly unstable \nArt in the round\, art to be encountered \n
< br> \n“Temporary Space” offers an array of perspectives and representa tion of space\, covering the spectrum of abstraction to representation. Ve rsatility of material\, like space\, will be showcased with works of texti le\, wood\, ceramic\, metal\, cardboard\, canvas\, and plastic\, among oth ers. Geographic space will be represented by artists from the Bay Area\, L os Angeles\, New Mexico\, and Oklahoma. “Temporary Space” invites view ers to experience the shrinking and expanding\, filling and delineating of space in the gallery and beyond.

The work in this show upends traditional conceits and ranges from grand to subtle – exploring the mightiness of softness and the fragility of hard edges through investigations of symbolism\, material s\, and invocations. These artists create new mystical lexicons by usurpin g and kludging iconography. They exploit materials to reveal the alchemy o f intention. \n
\nUnsurprisingly\, there are many definitions of power in the dictionary. Power can\, after all\, be used as a noun\, verb\, or adjective. The word often elicits images of dominance and violence. Some o f the works traverse themes of brutality and rupture\, while others naviga te notions of “soft” power – the magical\, and the sublime. Many of the pieces dance on the line between\, exploring juxtapositions and tensio ns of contrasting forces. \n
\nAll of the work examines how power mani fests as a feeling\, object\, or idea\, and the various paths that promise it as a reward.

On the other hand\, \nphenomenality ref ers to the way anything whatsoever appears to our embodied senses\; \nthis less extravagant sense of the word “phenomenon” is at the heart of ph enomenology \nand Kantian philosophy (where it is opposed to the noumenal\ , which can never appear to \nsensation). \n
\nBoth senses of the phen omenal are contested and reconfigured in the contemporary \nnetworks of co mputational media and machine-learning algorithms. For example\, AI \nprod uces a steady stream of spectacles\, each more spectacular than the last\, but the \nunderlying operations are immune to human perception. In this i nterplay\, not only the \nobjects of perception but also the very conditio ns of experience are up for grabs. The \nphenomenal itself is conditioned by a new realm of nonphenomenality\, which poses a \nspecial challenge for artists working with these new technologies. \n
\nAs a way of approac hing this new situation\, we look to works that stage multiple aesthetic \ ninversions of the phenomenal\, ranging from the subtle or understated to the invisible. What \ncomes to the fore when vision encounters computation ’s resistance to consciousness\, its \n“discorrelation” from the phe nomenology of embodied experience? How can we perceive \nwhat artist Trevo r Paglen has dubbed the “invisible images” that populate our world? An d \nhow can these inversions connect with or be illuminated by other tradi tions of the non/ \nphenomenal—for example Buddhist ideas of appearance as illusion\, the Lacanian notion of \nthe unperceived Real\, or neuroscie ntific theories of consciousness as a nonsubstantial \nepiphenomenon? \n \nLooking beyond the spectacles of contemporary technology\, Non/phenom enalities asks us \nto imagine an aesthetics of the subtle\, the muted\, t he “barely perceptible difference\,” \nmaybe even the boring.

For many of these educators\, the classroom becomes a site where their artistic concer ns\, whether formal\, conceptual\, or material\, are refracted\, adapted\, and shared. What they teach is often a reflection of their own inquiries\ , shaped into assignments that encourage students to wrestle with similar questions. Each work in the exhibition is presented alongside an assignmen t\, prompt\, or exercise that served as its conceptual starting point\, of fering viewers the opportunity to consider the reciprocal relationship bet ween teaching and making. By bringing these materials into dialogue\, the exhibition examines how the studio informs the frameworks presented to stu dents and how\, in turn\, pedagogical processes expand and challenge the a rtist’s own practice. Together\, these works present a compelling portra it of contemporary Bay Area college art education\, highlighting the ongoi ng dialogue between teaching and artistic practice\, where pedagogy and cr eation inform and enrich one another.

Tod ay\, we are witnessing such an obsolescence that has historically led to a crumbling of institutions and ideologies. As society moves through this p rocess toward the unknown\, we encounter the potential to evolve. Author a nd expert in mythology Joseph Campbell noted that all societies must under go a transformative hero's journey to make new meaning through the hero's return with the so-called artifacts of the journey. Here\, those artifacts manifest in art made with new media call us to reckon with the disorienta tion of the collapse of identities\, systems\, and worldviews\, while othe r artworks illuminate acts of atonement\, adaptation\, and renewal\, offer ing sparks to our imagination so that we may collectively envision the myt hology of tomorrow.

The act of making\, tending\, hold ing\, breaking\, and becoming. Rather than defining “mother” as a role or identity\, the works in this exhibition treat it as an elemental impul se\, a generative engine that builds worlds as easily as it dismantles the m. Across sculpture\, painting\, textiles\, sound\, film\, and written lan guage\, the artists explore the ways care can be both tender and volcanic\ , how lineage can illuminate or obscure\, and how the daily labor of susta ining life coexists with myth\, memory\, and revolt. The pieces move betwe en the intimate and the archetypal: a small gesture becomes a tectonic shi ft\; a universal symbol arrives cracked\, reimagined\, or lovingly defaced . \n \nIn a cultural moment saturated with performative dominance\, where extractive\, competitive\, and hyper-individualized modes of power often s hape public life\, Mother proposes a counter-framework. The exhibition ele vates relational intelligence\, interdependence\, and generative attention as vital creative alternatives. Here\, power is not asserted through forc e or spectacle but cultivated through connection\, insight\, focus\, and c are. \n \nwww.thisisnorthstreet.org \n \nThis exhibition features work fr om the 2025 North Street Project cohort\, a group of artists who gathered over many months to explore mothering as a creative\, philosophical\, and social inquiry. Through shared prompts\, conversations\, experiments\, and fieldwork\, the cohort collectively probed what it means to make art from practices of care\, repair\, and imagination\, especially within systems that undervalue them. Their work reflects the textured dialogues\, tension s\, and revelations that emerged during this process. \n \nThe North Stree t Project is an artist-driven initiative designed to help artists move int o the next stage of their work. Through structured support\, community exc hange\, and deep engagement with personal sources of inspiration\, North S treet provides a space where artists can reconnect to what animates their practice. The project centers curiosity\, collaboration\, and the slow-bui lding of creative momentum\, helping artists locate both each other and th emselves in their evolving trajectories. \n \nTaken together\, Mother is n ot a portrait but a constellation. It invites viewers to consider motherin g as a form of world-building: messy\, porous\, inventive\, and profoundly human. In this gathering of perspectives\, the maternal is reclaimed not as a biological fact or sentimental trope\, but as a radical\, expansive f ramework for making meaning and making art.

As a gallery whose values closely align with 120710’s commi tment to fostering an inclusive and artist-centered environment\, this col laboration feels both meaningful and deeply resonant. \nThis exhibition ma rks Good Mother Studio’s first showcase in Berkeley\, California\, after being a Bay Area–based gallery for the past decade. We are excited to b ring our aesthetic and curatorial perspective to a neighboring city that h as played such a vital role in the region’s creative landscape. \n
\nThe works presented reflect what we believe best represents our ident ity as a gallery while highlighting some of the Bay Area’s most talented artists—many of whom we have had the privilege of working with over the years.

Through works that deconstruct and mutate natural bodies into unfamiliar forms\, it asks what calls us t oward our primordial origins: the alive\, the pulsating\, the grotesque. L ife — whether human\, microbial\, cellular—is broken down\, repurposed \, and born anew. Bodies become sites of alchemical transformation: dissec ted\, preserved\, electrified\, yet beneath this material fragmentation li es a persistent longing for connection\, for the umbilical\, for the moist nothing from which all things emerged. Swamps\, spines\, salt marshes\, a nd cuttlefish are oracles of a world in flux. These works do not simply do cument a world unraveling\; they gesture toward new ways of sensing and as sembling life from its remnants\, divining what futures might still be bor n from what remains.

\nA freak elec trical storm over the 580 in Berkeley has overlapped with the same electri cal frequency waves of the great electrofusion containment accident of the year 4087 causing a rift that cut out a small section of a history museum displaying a collection of objects. This rift brings us 2061 years in the future to the year 4087. Like a Vegas slot machine that never seems to li ne up\, these objects do not hold up to their own truths at present. Futur e Relics are realized by the historians of the 41st century for their many truths but also are misperceived. It is unclear what has transpired betwe en now and year 4087\, and what relevant information they have from today. \n

\nThrough work in museums\, galleries\, and the “art world ”\, Oliver Hawk Holden examines how we are sold on the societal importan ce and commercial value certain objects carry. Holden understands the impo rtance of how we display valued objects and plays with the idea that the m undane may be extraordinary. While we are inundated with increasing amount s of information on a daily basis with everyone seeing everything\, there is also an opportunity to say what we think about it. Do we dive into the surging river of informational disorder or stay on the side watching it al l flow out to sea. Fear of technological advancement has been a part of hu man history since man lifted the first tool\, but has never been as unyiel ding and out of control as it is today.  \n

Full-Feel is a group exhibition centered on emotional expres sion—work that doesn’t avoid feeling\, but moves directly through it.

\n \n

We’re seeking artworks that engage with vulnerability\, cat harsis\, and emotional clarity. Pieces that hold tension\, release\, intim acy\, intensity\, or transformation. Work that treats feeling not as weakn ess\, but as material—something to shape\, translate\, and share.

\ n \n

All mediums are welcome\, including painting\, photography\, sound\ , installation\, and time-based work.

\n \n

At its core\, Full-Feel is about celebrating emotional honesty: the color\, energy\, and depth th at emerge when we fully allow ourselves to feel.

\nAFTER ALBERS is an exhibition that connects the works of contemporary artists to \nintegral themes investiga ted by Josef Albers\, such as permutation\, geometry\, and the \ninteracti on of color. The artists presented in this exhibition are loosely connecte d \nthrough their work and are not part of a particular group or movement. Instead\, each \nuses their personal voice\, together creating visual rel ationships and connections that \necho throughout the exhibition. \n
\nBarry Beach\, Alex Paik\, and Carlota Rodriguez each work with humble materials\, \nincluding yarn\, paper and wood offcuts\, using additive/ s ubtractive processes to build up \na final work. Individual elements are a dhered with glue\, thread or tape. Paik composes \nmodules comprised of st rips of hand-cut watercolor paper\, each hued with colored \npencil and/ o r paint. Working this way allows Paik’s pieces to be reconfigured in eac h \nsetting. His sculpture\, Partial Right Triangle (Aqua Blue)\, can also be wall-hung\, with \nindividual components overlapping\, creating color and light reflection. Beach and \nRodriguez’s work are both part of an o ngoing series\, with each iteration permanently \nadhered to become a wall -hung or floor-displayed object. \n

\nJ Rivera Pansa\, Elaine Nguy en\, and Keira Kotler use aspects of photography to make their \nwork. For Kotler and Nguyen\, light is the subject and method: working directly wit h \nlight results in abstract\, non-monochromatic color fields. Pansa cuts and grommets \nphotographic and x-ray prints in organized compositions th at shift beneath your gaze. \nThe soft constructions form into loose grids that refer to chain mail\, and by inference\, \nthe body. Bernadette Jiyo ng Frank’s work is also inspired by light\, and she achieves \nsublime d epth of color through successive layers of oil paint. \n

\nExistin g between hard edge and soft edge painting lie the works of Brian Caraway\ , \nJanay Futch\, Chad Hasegawa\, Sarah Hotchkiss\, Scott Malbaurn\, and S teuart Pittman. \nEach artist incorporates architectural\, geometric forms in entirely different ways. The \nintense colors and crisp edges of piece s by Caraway\, Hasegawa\, and Malbaurn arise \nfrom masterful composition\ , planning\, and taped edges. 1-6-5-2-5 Erie Pickoff\, by \nCaraway\, was composed after seeing a “pickoff” during a baseball game. Each player ’s \nposition was assigned a number and color\, and the painting was com posed based on \nthe play. Futch\, Hotchkiss\, and Pittman paint without t ape\, and play with soft/ hard \nedges shaped without mechanical means. Fu tch is influenced by patterns and modern \nabstract painters\, such as Jo sef Albers\, and she lends the title of her monoprint to this \nshow. \n
\nVon Coffin\, Howard Hersh\, and Kristina Lewis create chromatic\, minimal wall- \nhung sculpture. Having a machined quality\, their pieces feel like functional objects that \nmight animate with a human touch. Lewi s’ works are inspired by the foam inserts used \nin shipping that cushio n objects and fill negative space. Her pieces are meticulously \nbuilt wit h wood\, covered with canvas and painted in several layers of color to a s mooth\, \nsemi-matte surface. Coffin and Hersh employ buoyant color and si mple materials\, such \nas plywood and ceramic\, to fabricate super precis e sculptures. Each form has a kinetic \nquality\, almost asking the viewer to participate by pushing a “button\,” filling a groove or \nspinning the form. \n

\nAFTER ALBERS explores echoing motifs of abstractio n\, color theory\, and \nmodularity through the practices of 16 artists. I ndividually\, each artist’s work creates a \nworld of its own\, asking v iewers to slow down to experience the moments of play and \nperfection. To gether\, their works interact with strange harmony\, resonating into \ndim ensions beyond painting and sculpture. \n

\nThere will be a free a bstract drawing session held on Sunday\, August 30\, from 2:00-3:30pm. The session will be led by curator Mel Prest\, artist Barry Beach and possibl y others TBA. The drawing sessions will be inspired by the Conditional Des ign Workbook\, a framework created by artists and designers in 2014. The p rompts encourage making drawings as a team and promote process\, entropy\, and accumulation.
