FLING: GETTING IT ON FOR ART
Opening reception on Saturday, March 11th from 7-10pm
SomArts Bay Gallery, 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco CA 94103

***********************************************************************


People get it on for a lot of things. The curators of Fling invited
artists to get it on for art.

On Saturday, March 11th, experience FLING: Getting it on for art, a
multidisciplinary art show that tests the act of commitment by
pairing artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers and performers for an
imagined "fling" with a partner they have never met.

Eleven artist couples re-imagine, re-shape and redefine how we see
relationships by touching the heart of what is lost and found when we
dare to engage with one another.

Explore truth and lies, the mundane and sublime, flirtations and
revelations...and what really happens in two months of getting it on
for art's sake.
