ABOUT SFMOMA: NOW PLAYING
Celebrate
SFMOMA’s 75th Anniversary at these Thursday night happenings. SFMOMA:
Now Playing invites artists to animate SFMOMA in unexpected
ways — and
audiences to see the museum in a different light. Partygoers will
experience the atrium as a projection chamber, a hidden annex
as a bar/lounge, and artists playing the architecture. The evenings
also include hors d'oeuvres and cash bar.

Phyllis
Wattis Theater
Douglas
Gordon's Feature Film, a study of the hands, arms, and face of the
Paris Opera's James Conlon as he conducts the orchestral score for
Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
9:00 p.m. Laetita
Sonami and Sue-C
Atrium
The collaborative work of Bay Area-based Laetitia Sonami and SUE-C
focuses on the real-time creation of film-like live performances.
Sonami's elbow-length "lady's glove" extends her gestures,
allowing her to construct fleeting sonic architectures as she moves
fingers, hand, and arm. Video artist SUE-C synthesizes cinema from
photographs, drawings, models, and interactive lighting effects.
Tonight's performance in the atrium is a mash-up of current work
and Sheepwoman, their most recent live film inspired by work from
Japanese author Haruki Murakami.
These images and sounds are echoed by Douglas Gordon's Feature Film, a study of the hands, arms, and face of the Paris Opera's James Conlon as he conducts the orchestral score for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. Blue Bottle Coffee Co. and Meatpaper magazine foreground Vertigo's San Francisco setting with a special menu on the rooftop.
