Bruce Conner: Somebody Else's Prints
Closing Soon! - Through May 16

With only three weeks left until Bruce Conner: Somebody Else's Prints closes, be sure to plan your visit to see the exhibition soon! The ICA is the only venue (and the last!) on the west coast to exhibit Bruce Conner: Somebody Else's Prints, curated by the Ulrich Museum of Art. Considered a "must see" by San Francisco Chronicle writer, Kenneth Baker, the exhibition is the first in-depth examination of the artist’s achievements as a printmaker in over a decade and features rarely seen examples from the Conner Family Trust and private collections. Don't miss your chance to see the exhibition  and use Guide-by-Cell, a free, self-guided, audio-tour with commentary from individuals who worked closely with Conner.

ICA Live!
Margaret Noble: Resonating Objects

Friday, May 1, 6pm-10pm
Free admission

San Diego-based artist Margaret Noble creates interdisciplinary work including sound, sculpture, installation and performance art. Her work explores themes such as memory, dream, history, science fiction, identity and semiotics.

For ICA Live! Noble will present three sound sculptures with which visitors are invited to interact. To make the pieces, Noble used a filing box filled with index cards rigged with individual audio; an old leather suitcase with interior compartments that emit sound when uncovered; and a hand-activated music box - each of which Noble has fashioned into what she calls “resonating objects.” 

Presented during downtown San Jose’s South First Fridays, ICA Live! seeks to explore the role of the performance art medium in contemporary society. Learn more about ICA Live!, featured in San Francisco Chronicle's 96 Hours,  and view the 2015 schedule here. 

Talking Art:
Artist Professional Development

Artists Using Technology to Increase Visibility

Speaker: Daniel Milnor, Photographer at Large, Blurb Inc. 

Thursday, May 14, 7pm

With a vast percentage of the world connected through modern technology, the opportunity for artists to capitalize on technology is real. Milnor believes that understanding the nuance of how certain technologies work is key to understanding how to personalize the message and create a sustainable artistic career.

Milnor will present approaches on how to navigate through the overabundance of technology-based tools available for artists. He will also offer effective ways to establishing a presence through websites and blogs, and give an overview of self-publishing books and catalogs.
