Real Time and Space is excited to host artist talks by Constance Hockaday, our Jan/Feb artist in residence, and new RTS studio member, Miguel Arzabe. Join us on Sunday, February 28th at 7pm!
Constance Hockaday is a Chilean American artist who grew up on the water in Port Isabel, Texas, 5 miles from where the Rio Grande River dumps into the Gulf of Mexico. She has created outsider maritime projects for more than 15 years, from a boat hotel the New York Times called “a New York City success story” to a floating peep show bobbing in the San Francisco harbor that highlighted the loss of spaces for the Bay Area’s queer community. Her most recent performance installation, “All These Darlings and Now Us,” commissioned by Southern Exposure in San Francisco, was described by the New York Times as a powerful “commentary on the forces of technification and gentrification roiling San Francisco.” Hockaday holds an MFA in Social Practice Art and a Masters in Conflict Resolution from Portland State University and BA from Prescott College. She is a 2014 TED Fellow and has received support from the San Francisco MOMA, City of Oakland, the East Bay Artist Fund, The Puffin Foundation, Flux Factory, and Southern Exposure.
Miguel Arzabe is a visual artist based in San Francisco working primarily in video, painting, and paper weaving. His work was featured in Hors Pistes at the Centre Pompidou in Paris; the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montréal, Canada; RM Projects in Auckland New Zealand; Red Tree House in Mexico City; Marylhurst University in Portland, Oregon; Berkeley Art Museum; and at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has had numerous residencies and awards including Headlands Center for the Arts, Montalvo Art Center, Vermont Studio Center, and Santa Fe Art Institute. His work is held in private and public collections, nationally and internationally. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, with an MS in Environmental Fluid Dynamics from Arizona State University and an MFA from UC Berkeley.
