San Francisco, a city known for activism and creativity, will host the emotional and politically charged Simnuke Art Exhibit on July 28th, 7pm to midnight, at Rx Gallery, 132 Eddy Street. Over the last sixty years, people all over the world have struggled with the looming threat of nuclear arms. For the artists exhibiting in the Simnuke Art Exhibit, this struggle expresses itself through artwork that is both stunning and a searing indictment of the nuclear arms race.
The Simnuke Project commemorates and confronts the splitting of the atom using art that ranges the emotional gamut from fear to anger, satire, and above all, a simple wish for peace.
The art of the Simnuke Art Exhibit is as diverse as San Francisco itself. The show, co-curated by Sasha Harris-Cronin and Max Carlson, comprises 20 artists from the United States and Japan: 5 of them invited and 15 of them selected from submitted artworks. The exhibit pieces will range from photography to kinetic sculpture, from humorous statements to deadly serious exposes. In addition, there will be an exhibit of government documents from the Prelinger Library tracing the history of the atomic era in public policy.
As global nuclear proliferation blooms into reality, and the United States moves ahead with so-called tactical "bunker busters" and nuclear arms in space, it is critical that this powerful collection reach an audience. Co-curator Sasha Harris-Cronin stated, "If we can make one person leave the gallery, go home, and write their congressperson, then we have made a difference."
