Unremarkable People Having Sex by Katie Bush

A Series of Genital Intercourse Animations by Katie Bush

Opening reception this Sunday
February 3rd, 5 - 8 pm

America's Favorite Lady (Katie Bush) presents a series of nauseating genital animations in her month long February exhibition Unremarkable People Having Sex. Miss Bush's promiscuous use of skin-colored computer pixels are sure to stimulate even the most frigid of male/female onlookers.

Watch as an arousing display of sweet-tempered penises and nondiscriminatory vaginas dance across the gallery, hand-in-hand, much to the merriment of many a learn'ed contemporary art lover. "Genitals come and go," says Ms. Bush, "but something magical happens when they are unremarkable and having sex – that takes it to a whole other level. In memorializing this type of intercourse, my hope is that we can all pay tribute to the truly unremarkable and take that with us on each of our journeys."

Heralded as a modern day digital sweetheart, Katie Bush has exhibited globally - spreading her legs and magical art pieces in countries all over the world. http://katiebushart.com/katiebush_exhibitions.html. She graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2000 with an MFA in New Genres. Her internet art piece 'www.destroyevil.com' continues to enchant morally upright citizens in more than 194 countries.

This Sunday: Matthew Hughes Boyko and Carol Anne McChrystal “Turn to Stone” in the Right Window



"Since you been gone, I turn to stone...oh I'm turnin' I'm turnin' I'm turnin' to stone!"

YES/ELO happening with lights and brilliance...

Opening: 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at ATA, 992 Valencia at 21st Street

Exhibition/installation continues through Jan. 11

Essentially, "Turn to Stone" is an orchestrated, epic rock music installation courtesy of Matthew Hughes Boyko & Carol Anne McChrystal. With its psychedelic lyrical approach to installation and the enigmatic influence of Roger Dean & Electric Light Orchestra, the Right Window Gallery at ATA gains an entirely new perspective.

Texture is the key component to this installation. Even though the display is orchestrated, the synthetic arrangement of modernist sculpture, black light, fog and silver help the composition to move along the performative environments of the 1970s rock palette while keeping the contrived situation of window display art ambience at bay.

The Right Window Gallery at ATA is curated by Craig Goodman for the month of December, 2007. Carol Anne McChrystal and Matthew Hughes Boyko are both recent graduates of the California College of the Arts Master in Fine Arts program and are currently living and working in San Francisco, California. The above statement was adapted from an allmusic.com review of “Turn to Stone” by ELO written by Zachary Curd.

Let’s rock! Hope to see you there!
