April 16–April 24
CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, 1111 Eighth Street , San Francisco, California
This is the first in a series of projects titled The Way Beyond Art, starting in spring 2010, in which a faculty member from any of CCA's programs presents a one-week exhibition in the Wattis Institute galleries. This installment, developed by CCA's Industrial Design Program, explores the relationship between renewable solar energy and industrial design.
The April 22 opening reception will include a project presentation at 6 p.m. in Timken Lecture Hall.
