Bibeau Krueger presents Curtains, an off-site exhibition featuring works from Joanne Burke, Gracie DeVito, Will Koone, Hugo Montoya, Nancy Nguyen, Sandra Ono, and Ben Quinn. The exhibition is hosted by Et al., 2831 Mission St., San Francisco, CA. 

The term curtain implies a physical barrier and invokes a mood of anticipation. It’s with that sense of discovery and mystery that the exhibition, Curtains, is conceived. Through varied approaches to object making, the seven artists presented engage deeply in material and process, imbuing objects with drama, poetics, and subtlety. Conceptual concerns are wide ranging—investigations in memory, failure, humor, history, and nature. Ultimately, the exhibition looks to the artist’s impulse and instinctual urge to activate and reveal mysteries with systems and procedures that elucidate and encapsulate rhythm, spirit, and clarity.
