Subject to Oneself

This week was the opening of the self portrait show Subject to Oneself at the Playspace gallery. It was lots of fun and the turnout was exceptional.


Until the day that you are me and I am you
Press Release:

Lori Gordon is a San Francisco-based artist who creates cross-disciplinary works that combine aspects of the paranormal, belief systems and social sculpture. Much of her work attempts to make the ineffable visible. Through collaborative endeavors, Gordon explores the gap between coincidence and intention, with an emphasis on setting up moments that deviate from the expected conversation. In some cases, she is more interested in providing the organized framework around which potential interactions may occur, both between herself and the viewer or participants.

For Subject to Oneself, Gordon has created a painted configuration on the wall which depicts her aura. Through this work, the viewer is able to witness the effects of a phenomenological process, in which a shared public interaction will take place between the energy of her body and theirs.

Lori has previously exhibited her work at PLAySPACE, The Lab and Build Gallery. Her work is currently on display at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery and Gavin Brown Enterprises at Passersby in New York. She is the recipient of the Murphy Fine Arts Fellowship, Sponsored by The San Francisco Foundation. Lori Gordon is a MFA candidate at California College of the Arts.
