sweat + dirt

Charles Lee
November 7, 2023 —  February 3, 2024
Opening Reception with the artist: Friday, November 10, 6-8PM

SF Camerawork is pleased to present Bay Area artist Charles Lee’s first solo exhibition, sweat + dirt. The exhibition is a document and investigation of contemporary Black rodeo culture and cowfolk in the United States. The works and images in sweat + dirt were made in Louisiana, California’s Southern and Central Valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Through Lee’s project, we are presented with contemporary evidence by which we can trace the multi-racial history and widespread geographic reach of country life, and the role of Black people in the development of U.S. western culture.

Ma-kan مكان

Ebti
On view March 12 —  June 22, 2024
Opening Reception with the Artist: Friday, March 15, 6-8PM

SF Camerawork is proud to announce Ma-kan مكان, a solo exhibition with Ebti, a multidisciplinary artist, a self-taught photographer, and a translator living between Cairo and San Francisco. The exhibition will be on view at our Fort Mason location from March 12 through June 22, 2024. A public opening reception will be held on Friday, March 15, from 6-8 pm. Ebti and SF Camerawork will host a series of open studio visits at the gallery commencing March 1, where visitors and SF Camerawork community members will have the opportunity to learn about the artist's work in progress and witness Ebti's creative practice unfold in real-time. Additional programs and specific open studio dates are to be announced on our website at sfcamerawork.org., and via our email list. 

Ma-kan مكان means place in Arabic. Taken apart, the word ma-kan can also mean it was and is not. For her exhibition, Ma-kan مكان, Ebti will present a suite of site-responsive, photo-based installation works crafted from prints on fabric, projections, transparencies, and traditional paper prints. Using images, stories, and objects collected from her travels, home life, and the space itself, a narrative of perpetual departure, arrival, home, and homesickness unfolds.
