FP Edge is an artists network run by the Femina Potens Art Gallery
focusing on building relationships and recognition between cutting
edge LGBTQI and Erotic artists and artworks, venues and residents
within the greater queer, feminist, wellness and sex positive
community. Based in the SF Bay Area, Edge connects a diverse range of
artists with the businesses, collectors, exhibitions and other events
searching out lgbt and erotic themed works or commissioned pieces. The
network also offers the support of the Gallery's marketing experience,
artist and venue consultation services and a vast list of specialized
contacts within the West Coast art scene. Strengthening and creating
these community ties helps artists build their names and at the same
time allows organizations to participate more within their
communities. Overall, Edge aims to expose the community to a wider
range of work from within the ever changing queer landscape.
To inquire about joining our network of artists please email a short bio and 3 - 5 images along with an inquirying letter to fpedge@gmail.com
August Exhibition: "Twisted Elements"
FEMINA POTENS VISUAL ART OPENING RECEPTION: TWISTED ELEMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 14, 2008 - Femina Potens presents "Twisted Elements", featuring sculptors Joni Younkins-Herzog and Susan Latta. Both artists are drawn to the elements of nature and the interference of man into“natural” processes. Witness the absurdity of natural selection, fantastical creatures and objects that result when science meets flesh, when genetic engineering meets iconically sexualized feminine forms. Such as Herzog’s bio engineered sculptures of spider creatures composed of bronzed Barbie doll like thighs. And Latta’s steel sculptures embedded into flesh like materials. Femina Potens proudly invites you to question the absurd. Join us for the "Twisted Elements" opening reception August 2, 2008 at 7pm.
