I was in San Francisco last week for my classmates' MFA show at Fort Mason. It was quite a spectacle, with around 100 artists showing their wares in a huge waterfront warehouse space with ceilings that must have been at least 50 feet high.
JD Beltran wrote a good blog post about the show in the San Francisco Chronicle. One of the pieces I especially enjoyed was Brandon Truscott's orchestrate entropy (pictured above), in which he arrayed parts of a disassembled piano, retired household gadgets, and other detritus of civilization in a plinth formation with a white-shrouded baby doll suspended on an invisible thread from that high ceiling. It's one of those rare pieces that combines a great concept with a very strong technical execution.
