Opening November 22nd, 2013 at Southern Exposure, San Francisco is “This Will Never Work”, a juried exhibition and screening of Northern Californian artists. This annual event is the premier showcase of contemporary artwork by promising local talent. With a different open-ended theme each year, artists are encouraged to pursue a broad range of artistic expression across media.

“This Will Never Work” features crazy experiments, doomed plans and quixotic dreams. The artists are all from Northern California, North of King City and South of the Oregon border. Exhibition juror Corrina Peipon from the Hammer, Los Angeles and screening juror Mary Magsamen selected the works by blind process, evaluating the works within the context of this year’s theme. For many of the artists selected, this is their first major exhibition and a vital step forward in their art careers.

Opening Reception: November 22nd, 2013. 7-10pm.
