Terry Fox: Screening of Timbre and Conversation with Tom Marioni
October 17, 7–9pm: Screening of a video of Fox’s performance Timbre and a discussion led by artist Tom Marioni. Please RSVP to library@sfmoma.org to receive instructions to access the library on Thursday.
Terry Fox (1943-2008), a native of Seattle, was a first-generation Conceptual artist who from 1963-1978 lived off and on in San Francisco, punctuated by extended stays in Europe, where he subsequently made his home. He was a core member of the artists, including Howard Fried, David Ireland, Paul Kos, Tom Marioni, Linda Montano, Bonnie Sherk, and others centered around Marioni’s Museum of Conceptual Art. Like their peers internationally, these young artists developed the new genres of body art, performance, installation, video, and sound. This roving exhibition will celebrate and reinvigorate the spirit of Fox’s works in multiple spaces around the Bay Area, including The Lab, CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, Grace Cathedral, the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 871 Fine Arts, Cushion Works, and the libraries of the San Francisco Art Institute and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Terry Fox: Resonance is curated by Dena Beard and Constance Lewallen.
