Yerba Buena Center for the Arts

In conjunction with the exhibition The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg, YBCA presents A Mad Tea Party: Five Videos by Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, a selection of important works where complex and twisted narratives are performed by molding clay figures in constructed environments. Spanning the past eight years of the artists’ career, these animations depict their characteristically dark tales that plumb the depths of human psychology to dramatic effect, and include human and animal characters that are thrown together into strange and mythological scenarios laden with sexuality and violence.

William Cordova works in installation, performance, sculpture, film, photography, and drawing. He focuses on architecture and landscapes, and reconstructs, reconsiders, and reconnects past events to reveal their relevancy in today’s social climate. Creating ephemeral monuments, Cordova sees the visual arts as a platform for discussing our common experiences, needs, and struggles.

We are thrilled to once again bring you the new winners of British Arrows (formerly British Television Advertising Awards). Established in 1976, the British Arrows recognize the best television, online, outdoor and cinema commercials made by British advertising agencies and production companies. This year’s batch features an entertaining mix of compelling drama, uniquely British comedy, and all-around awe-inspiring innovation. If our commercials were this inventive, we’d have no desire to fast-forward through them. Sincere thanks to Dean Otto, Walker Art Center, for his help in arranging our presentation.
