FIAT LUX artist Randy Colosky will engage in a conversation with David Cunningham on such issues as craft as an experimental subject, materials-driven conceptual art and art in public spaces. Colosky's soloexhibition of newly commissioned works is currently on view at MOCFA through March 10, 2012.

Born in Zambia in 1967, David Cunningham is an architect and the founder/director of David Cunningham Projects, San Francisco.

Past Events:

"Construction is collaboration" is a quote from Randy Colosky, the artist featured in the current exhibition. Participants 5 years and older will use scrap wood, cordless drills, and dowels to build a collective sculpture in the Museum gallery. At the end, stand back and see what you have created! We will photograph the sculpture before all is disassembled and you take a piece of it home. $5 for admission and materials. Members are free.

First Thursday of every month
*Please note there is no November CRAFT BAR

Join us for a very special winter wonderland CRAFT BAR! This CRAFT BAR is all about winter gift-giving: create a penguin Woolbuddy with MOCFA favorite (and CRAFT BAR veteran) Jackie Huang, and then make a unique holiday card with Bay Area printmaker Rigel Stuhmiller to go with it! Perfect for a gift for that special someone, or perhaps just for yourself.

Get your hands dirty! Inspired by the ceramic artwork in the exhibition we will create one-of-a-kind sculptural cubes and bricks using texturing tools and clay. Your works of art will be perfect as paperweights, bookends, and for holiday gift giving. $5 for admission and all materials, ages 5 and up.

Solar Power fuels art making. Taking inspiration directly from Randy Colosky’s sun-exposed piece, Oxidation and Reduction, we will be creating one-of-a-kind solar contact prints with photographic paper and objects. Guest artist Stan Peterson and volunteers from SF Camerawork Gallery will assist you in this unique photographic technique. Bring your own objects (leaves, flowers, toys, etc.) or use objects provided by the Museum! Ages 5+. Admission of $5 includes all materials.
