It’s that time again….The Lowbrow Society SMUT! show!!!
We are so excited that this years show will be held at 950 Hart Gallery, and will also be marking their 25th show to date! 950 Hart Gallery began in October of 2010 with four partners. It began as an experiment in developing a community art experience, and since then has grown into a bustling art hub featuring art by over 50 artists. Their shows focus on themes surrounding love, community, and hope. Their mission has been to provide a loving and supportive environment for those engaged in the creative process. With this environment they strive to showcase and garner attention for excellent artwork and further the maturation of young artists.
This years SMUT! show is broken down into two distinct events, so hold on to your pants (or not) and continue reading for our full SMUT! weekend line up:
FRIDAY MAY 4th:
Intersections of Erotic Performance Art & Pornography
*space limited*
RSVP HERE
PRESALE TICKETS HERE
We welcome San Francisco’s Femina Potens art gallery for a night of film screenings, panel discussion, and interactive performance art on the intersections between erotic art and pornographic film curated in collaboration with Lowbrow Society’s Najva Sol.
The panel of feminists, queer artists, activists and counter culture renegades raise questions such as, where does conceptual performance work end and where does our libido begin? Is queer feminist pornography inherently progressive? And how do queer performance artists who are also in radical pornography, decipher the difference between what is art & what is porn?
SATURDAY MAY 5th:
SMUT! Artist Reception and After Party
RSVP HERE
Our opening party for the SMUT! group art show curated by Lowbrow Society Co-Director, Gwynn Galitzer, and independent curator May Yeung. Artists Francesca Bates, Jennifer Blowdryer, Bobby Busnach, Don Pablo Pedro, Chris Retsina, Gerry Visco, (more artists TBA) deal with a variety of mediums and NSFW taboos from voyeurism, to female power through sexual liberation, to gender exploration, and everything in-between.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of any works in the show will be donated to Planned Parenthood as a reaction to the recent and illogical debate over female reproductive rights that reflect a crazed society bent on squashing what they consider SMUT.
