Opening Thursday, April 17 at the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco is “Many Places at Once,” a group exhibition curated by the graduating class of the Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice at California College of the Arts. Decades after the “post-studio” turn announced by Minimalism and Conceptual art in the 1960s, Many Places at Once reconsiders the place of artistic production in our era of creative industries and flexible labor. Featuring new commissions and existing works by seven international artists, the exhibition presents artworks that call attention to the nuanced circumstances that characterize the economic, social, and technological conditions in which artists work today. The exhibition includes works by Martin Soto Climent, Rana Hamadeh, Li Ran, Cinthia Marcelle, William Powhida, Ian Wallace, and Real Time and Space.

“Many Places at Once” is on view through July 12, 2014.
