Save the date! We are hosting talks with artist in residence Cliff Hengst and RTS studio member Johnna Arnold on Wed, May 30th at 7pm. See you then!
Cliff Hengst is an artist who works and lives in San Francisco. He is currently in the “Way Bay” show at BAMFA in Berkeley and in “Tag: Proposals on Queer Play and the Ways Forward” a show curated by Nayland Blake at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Johnna Arnold is an artist, photographer, educator, and urban farmer based in Oakland, CA. Johnna’s work revolves around her interest in the infrastructure that supports our post-industrial lifestyle, and how a small, fleshy human such as herself can relate to this vast system. Johnna received her BA in Photography from Bard College in 1996, and her MFA from Mills College in 2005. She currently teaches classes in photography to graduate and undergraduate students at the San Francisco Art Institute. Johnna has worked as an Artist-in-Residence at Banff Center for the Arts, Kala Art Institute, and RayKo Photography. She has exhibited at venues including the Headlands Center for the Arts, San Francisco Camerawork, the Oakland International Airport, and the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. Her work is a part of public collections including Pier 24 in San Francisco and UNESCO in Paris, France.
