Micol Hebron

McBean Gallery, San Francisco

NOT IN MY BACKYARD

Reception: Jan 24, 5:30-7:30pm


The San Francisco Art Institute is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by Los Angeles based artist Micol Hebron. The exhibition will feature a new, interactive video installation, Not in My Backyard, on view January 24 – March 15 at the McBean Gallery with a preview and reception Thursday, January 23, 5:30 – 7:30 pm.

Inspired by the “Not in My Backyard” (NIMBY) mentality that typified cultural censorship of the 1980’s in the United States, this new interactive architectural installation incorporates video projection and live feed video to explore issues of politics, gender, race, and censorship.

A recent graduate of UCLA’s MFA program, Hebron has quickly become noted for her performances and video installations addressing issues of sexuality, the construction of identity, daily behavior and social ritual, and the use and configuration of power in social relationships. In this installation, Hebron utilizes the suburban backyard as her general metaphor, and the “culture wars” of the 1980s as her framework to investigate the affect of conservative political climates on the content of cultural production.
