Adrienne is an artist and writer preoccupied with home. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area to parents who met and fell in love in the hayday of the Haight-Ashbury, Roberts spends most of her time thinking and writing about place, home and belonging. These thoughts recently manifested themselves in her thesis project entitled "Homesick: The Search for Belonging in New Orleans' Landscape of Loss" which discusses home and belonging through the visuality of race, mobility, and the myth of the American frontier. Her recent curatorial project, "Home is something I carry with me" speaks back to the current housing crisisis  by transforming three private residences in San Francisco's Mission District into exhibition spaces and opening them to the public. Roberts was a contributing writer to Open Space, SFMOMA's blog, Art Practical and Plastic Antinomy. She holds an MA in Visual and Critical Studies from the California College of the Arts and a BA in Feminist Studies and Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Roberts' is a social justice activist and tenants rights counselor at the SF Housing Rights Committee. She loves dance parties, vegetarian potlucks, and giving home haircuts.

Residency September 10, 2009 – October 8, 2009

Project: Glass Forest

Agustina Woodgate (1981, Argentina) is an artist whose practice focuses on the politics of landscapes and infrastructures as a conceptual and public geography. She recombines, activates and repurposes available resources while setting alternative systems in motion. Her work comes about through a logical process of discovery rather than invention, utilizing displacement as a strategy. Woodgates’ approach is speculative, practical, and site and context-responsive, presenting critical alternatives to concepts on social orders, resource management and information distribution bringing clarity, scale, and accessibility.

Agustina is one of the artists commissioned for South Elm Projects. She completed Hopscotch across the South Elm neighborhood during her one-week residency in April 2015.

Kara most recently received her MFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design.  Before that she studied Printmaking and Glassblowing at Alfred University and is probably one of the few people to earn a minor in theatre and actually use it for something. She has been released yet again from the dark, damp depths of the academic world and back into the blinding brightness of ‘society’. Although it is always a bit of a odd and awkward transition at first, overall she acclimates herself well wherever she goes, wears sunglasses and plays well with others.  A dabbler of the extreme sport we call ‘art’, Dunne constantly mixes things up just for the sake of doing so, sometimes working with drawing, silkscreen and other printmaking processes, meanwhile pondering the possibility of building large scale sculptural installations and incorporating some element of the ephemeral.  She also spends her time thinking about dance cards, shoe horns, why people have display fruit, what it would be like to have a job where you make up fifteen different names for the same shade of green paint at Sherwin Williams, and above all what she is going to ‘do’ next. More often than not she ends up incorporating herself into whatever she is making, either through live performance or video, the now and then of her overall artistic process.  But easier to chew. The audience is a huge factor in her work, and she tries to consider the viewer as an important variable in the outcome of a piece. Interaction is essential to the life of an artwork. Direct connection is key. Dunne considers herself to be a social commentator on a cable station you never knew you had subscribed to.

Originally from the UK, from a British and Mauritian family, I studied at Cardiff College of Art and under Roy Ascot at the University of Wales College Newport before moving to Canada in 1994 to pursue a MFA degree at the University of Windsor, southern Ontario. Since graduating in 1996, my works have been exhibited in solo exhibitions across Canada, including the Mendel Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Calgary, the Art Gallery of Windsor, the Red Head Gallery, Peak Gallery and YYZ Artists Outlet in Toronto and the MacKenzie Art Gallery and Neutral Ground Gallery in Regina. I'm a past member of the Red Head Gallery in Toronto and I have participated in artists residencies at the Braziers International Artist Workshop in the UK, Trinity Square Video in Toronto, the Atlantic Centre for the Arts in Florida, the Banff Center for the Arts in Alberta, Canada and the Hungarian Multicultural Centre in Budapest.

David started making things that have been often characterized as art in the year 1997. At 23 years old, his art career was already over the hill, washed up before it got a chance to get dirty. Yet he mysteriously perservered. Nowadays, nearly ten years older, at least 175 pounds heavier, and having spiraled into the kind of debt in which only a Third World Country could possibly empathsize, Mr. Petersen spends his few free hours sequestered in his dreary studio thinking of get-rich-quick schemes and faking his own death. When he is completely demoralized by his lack of imagination in these matters, the final hours of his evening are wasted on a barstool, eyes glazed and fixed on a television screen with the day’s sports highlights. Bless his little heart.  Sincerely, Jean-Michel Basquiat

From sculpture, to performance/video, and installation,Lowe conjures up intuitive responses to relevant puzzles in our everyday world by using the materials that our culture has consumed. Lowe brings to the table many different conversations about our society and the natural world by synthesizing the symbiotic power of objects with a hand touched representation of a more natural cycle that takes hold.  Lowe graduated in 2005 from the Rhode Island School of Design, received the Florence Leif Award in Painting, and was a participant at the Skowhegan residency program in 2008.
