Lindsey White

Her solo exhibitions include 2017 SFMOMA SECA Award Exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, In That Case: Havruta in Contemporary Art at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA. "Through video, photography, and sculpture, White models a type of site gag index, working with the language of magic and comedy to challenge ordinary perceptions by presenting the unexpected and impossible. Like a good joke, her work pits cartoonish occurrence against the mundane physicality of everyday life." White's work is fictionalizing an awkward stage moment, forming a joke in its own right. She has exhibited at places such as Museum Bärengasse, Switzerland; Bolinas Art Museum, Bolinas, California; Marylhurst Art Gym, Portland, Oregon; San Francisco International Airport Museum, San Francisco, California; diRosa, Napa Valley, California; ACME., Los Angeles, California; San Francisco Arts Commission, San Francisco, California; and Aurora Picture Show, Houston, Texas.

Additionally, she is a part of a collaborative project, Will Brown (with David Kasprzak and Jordan Stein) who reimagines the roles of artist and curator through an inventive upending of traditional exhibition formats. The collective often mines unexpected or forgotten histories that exist within artistic and cultural spheres. The practice has been described as meta-curating. "This trio of artist-curators is making exhibitions and events out of a San Francisco storefront that are smart, weird and historical, with a great sense of humor. Their latest installation — inspired by a true story involving the fate of painter Kazimir Malevich's burial site in Moscow — transformed the space into a luxury Russian condominium." Will Brown has realized projects with Wattis Institute, Kadist Foundation, Ulrich Museum of Art, di Rosa, Headlands Center of the Arts, and in 2015 had a solo MATRIX exhibition at the Berkeley Museum of Art/Pacific Film Archive. Will Brown was awarded a Creative Fund Grant in collaboration with the San Francisco Art Institute in 2015.
