A big THANK YOU to everyone that came to visit the ZERO1 Garage last Friday during the SubZERO Festival. The night was a great success; over 2300 visitors came through our space to experience Eve Warnock’s SEEKAGO, a one night performance.

Presented throughout the ZERO1 Garage, SEEKAGO was series of five experimental films, directed by Eve, that were created to incite specific emotions in the viewer. The story is about a man and woman, and their relationship from death to life. The films, titled Breathing, Asphalt, The Chicken and The Coyote, FEAST, and Flight, tell an aspect of human, animal and environmental ecology.

The films were accompanied by a live performance, lead by Eve, that captured the audience in the Garage. The project involved “Speakers”, a roving sound performance using textiles; “Bagged”, a sculptural set design; and “Denizen”, a performance based on local native mythology. Accompanied by the films, Eve’s performance integrated costumes, sounds and movements, embodying the raw emotions.

SFMOMA celebrates the start of construction at the site of the expansion– a defining moment for the museum's future. They are hosting a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off the 225,000-square-foot Snøhetta-designed expansion that will transform the museum as a whole. When the museum reopens in 2016, it will provide greater art experiences, more free-to-the-public space, and enhanced education programs for schoolchildren, expanding its role as a place for learning and  inspiration in the Bay Area. During the exclusive groundbreaking ceremony, Mayor Edwin M. Lee, Snøhetta principal Craig Dykers, press and dignitaries alike will experience a reimagining of the museum's future building though an artist-commissioned augmented reality mobile application. 2012 ZERO1 Biennial artists Will Pappenhiemer and John Craig Freeman, created the "app-arition" that is both an interactive and animated assemblage of the building's various parts, reflecting its potential existence as a fluid network and beacon for the surrounding community as well.
