\u2018Take This Hammer\u2019, which runs through mid-August at YBCA, is their most recent collaboration. The multimedia show was curated by Frock and plays with issues surrounding artist displacement and social justice.<\/p>\n
“The spirit of protest is deeply engrained in this place; it\u2019s a legacy that is among the Bay Area\u2019s proudest contributions to this country\u2019s evolving vision of freedom and equality,\u201d says Frock.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nFrock also runs Invisible Venue, a non-profit that organizes art installations in surprising spots like open public space or on the telephone.<\/p>\n
Art is conversational and really dang resilient. And with people like Frock we see that while the world continues to throw curve balls, art keeps swinging for the fences.<\/p>\n
We’re excited to see what new ideas Invisible Venue and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts have for art, community and #allofus.<\/p>\n
