    kadist: Desirée Holman, Channeling Aura 1, 2012. Gouache on paper, 30” x 22”. Tomorrow kicks off a four-day celebration at SFMOMA that will kick-off their expansion and launch their off-site programs. The weekend will culminate with a Farewell Processional on Sunday. Desirée Holman will conduct a series of movements that bridge our present potential to our future tense. Drawing on eccentric histories of time and space, from New Age culture and extraterrestrial encounter to paranormal powers, Holman mobilizes extraordinary characters, costumes, and objects that can make the museum’s and our own futures happen now. Help us bid adieu to our building by joining the processional as it winds its way from the museum’s rooftop down to the atrium and into the world outside.

    FINALLY saw The Clock at SFMOMA!!! I’ve been waiting to see this show ever since it began screening at LACMA and was thrilled to find it was coming to San Francisco!  

    When my boyfriend and I arrived to SFMOMA at noon the line for The Clock already snaked down the staircases and we waited two hours to see the acclaimed film installation (SFMOMA estimated exactly two hours of a wait and they were right on point, so kudos for that!).  We were determined, especially since SFMOMA’s imminent closing date/the end of The Clock exhibit is fast approaching (June 2nd).  

    It was brilliant and clever and the film clips were so smoothly synthesized that it gave the illusion of a plot for your mind to follow.  There was no cacophony of changing scenes, sounds or subjects - no sensory overload.  It was peaceful, especially sitting on one of the three-seater couches laid out in the gallery.  It was like a glam movie theater…like I expected anything less from the fabulous SFMOMA.

    My advice: eat a hearty meal beforehand, somehow, waiting in line doing nothing makes you all of a sudden ravenous.  And comfy shoes are a must, as is an interesting line buddy or a book/magazine.  Don’t get intimidated by the line, it’s worth the wait!

    Love this! Reminder: your LAST CHANCE to see The Clock is at our Countdown Celebration, starting today (Thursday) and culminating on Sunday evening. Get all the deets here.

    zeegaverse: 48 Hour Zeega Maker’s Challenge for “The Making of…Live at SFMOMA” In 48 hours, Zeegas — a new form of interactive media — will be installed on four projection screens at San Francisco’s renowned Museum of Modern Art. This showcase is part of “The Making Of…” — a collaboration between award-winning NPR producers the Kitchen Sisters, KQED, AIR’s Localore, the Zeega community and many others. Join in this collaborative media experiment and make Zeegas for SFMOMA! To participate, log in to Zeega and create something for the exhibition. To make the simplest Zeega possible, just combine an audio track with an animated GIF. And if you want to do more, go wild. You can contribute from anywhere in the world. The deadline is midnight EST on Wednesday. If you’ve never made a Zeega, worry not: it’s super easy. You can quickly combine audio, images, animations, text and video from across the web. Zeegas come in all shapes and sizes, from  a moving story about a train conductor to a GIFtastic Goldigger to a photo essay on the overlooked populations of Tahiti living below the poverty line. The Zeega exhibition is one part of The Making Of…Live at SFMOMA. As SFMOMA closes for two years of renovation and expansion, over one hundred makers from throughout the region will gather to share their skills and crafts and tell their stories. Zeegas will be exhibited 10 am - 6 pm Thursday and Friday, and we will be doing two special live performances of Zeegas and the Web Documentary Manifesto: THURSDAY, MAY 30th :: 3-5 pm FRIDAY, MAY 31st :: 1-3 pm On THURSDAY, following the Zeega performance, we will also host a session w/ Roman Mars (99% Invisible) and The Kitchen Sisters, before a Grand Countdown Celebration party on the SFMOMA rooftop (6 - 9:45 pm). See here for more details. We’re excited to see you and see what you’ve made at the museum! - The Zeega crew There is SO MUCH going on at SFMOMA for our Countdown Celebration this weekend.
