System Failure, curated by Cara Rose DeFabio and Harris Kornstein, is an apexart 2019 Open Call exhibition and is free and open to the public. System Failure is a fatal error notification, an invitation to examine the systemic injustices in built technologies, and a warning that we must personally scrutinize the idea of failure itself if we want to be productive creators and citizens. Presented in San Francisco, a hub of technology and diverse artistic and social movements, this exhibition explores intersections of failure and technology through creative practice in three interconnected nodes. System Failure is on display from May 4-25, 2019.

Dance Exhibit is a multidimensional arts experience centered around a physical and embodied exploration of the Atrium space and the sculptures contained within. Beginning with beverages, snacks, and socializing, audiences will experience artwork by Dana Hemenway and Brion Nuda Rosch. The evening gradually moves from gallery environment into live performance with sound by Shanna Sordhal and lighting by Jack Beuttler. Following the performances will be a lecture/discussion led by some of the Bay Area’s most talented thought leaders and artists. Dance Exhibit will be performed at 7:30p on May 9, 10, 16, 17, & 18, 2019. Each performance of Dance Exhibit will be followed by a post performance lecture/discussion.
