Gail Wight

SFAI Lecture Hall, San Francisco

2003 Adaline Kent Award winner, Berkeley resident, and SFAI alumna Gail Wight spent the past six years creating a program in intermedia and electronic arts at Mills College. She joins the Art Department faculty at Stanford University this fall. Wight will speak about her Walter and McBean Galleries exhibition The Evolution of Disarticulation, on view through October 11.

Wight's work examines human thought in a manner that questions the forms imposed on it by the habits of science. Her art is about science, notes critic Marcia Tanner in her essay in the full color catalogue accompanying the exhibition––"Or more accurately, about how science is thought: about the ways in which scientific concepts construe the world, and the alternative perspectives which science may exclude or overlook." Including new work in video, photography, and sculptural assemblage, The Evolution of Disarticulation presents Wight's technically ingenious, formally elegant exploration in work that often jars the viewer into new perception.
