2015 Tom Franco Co-LabDescription
Tom Franco Co-Lab Exhibition. To kick off our yearlong celebration of UC Santa Cruz’s 50th anniversary, the Sesnon Gallery is thrilled to present an innovative exhibition collaboration and performance series with UC Santa Cruz alumnus Tom Franco and his Firehouse Art Collective, along with UC Santa Cruz students, alumni and special guests. This collaboration is a compelling example of how UC Santa Cruz graduates are truly original.
This Co-Lab project is part of a Porter College course called Curatorial Practice, taught by Sesnon Gallery Director Shelby Graham with Tom Franco and will cultivate a creative community through a collaborative exhibition format. We will host open mic events, performance collectives, discussions, and paint murals. The students will learn participatory aspects of exhibition development, promotion, art handling and installation, including a chance to paint collaborative murals inside and outside the Sesnon Gallery.
