The Future Isn’t What it Used to Be
A screening by Anthony Discenza
Presented in Partnership with Faye's Video & Espresso Bar
In this special screening, Bay Area artist Anthony Discenza presents a fusion of speculative science-fiction films from the past 50 years, blending cinematic visions of humanity's future into a hypnagogic reverie of competing dystopias.

The Boundaries of Collaboration and the Future of Fences, Walls and Other Impediments
A Talk and Project Tour by Nonchalance
A Public Program of the Exhibition Bellwether
As part of their Bellwether public project, artist collaborative Nonchalance invite guest artist and curator Audrey Greigh to Southern Exposure to disc...uss her most recent attempt at working with the Elsewhere Public Works Agency (EPWA). For Greigh, her interest in the EPWA started when she first noticed a few strange signs and postings declaring that all fences were to be “Soon Obsolete.” Curious about this proposition and its unusual authority over public space, Greigh set out to discover the origins of these signs only to discover that the EPWA was behind them. Find out what she learned about who the EPWA are and what they do to maintain and manage “nonchalance.”
There will be an opportunity to explore the mysteries behind the EPWA and their projects directly after the talk with Greigh. Come prepared with an open mind and a willingness to reach your own conclusions.
