SOMArts Cultural Center will be presenting “Corrections”, an international installation from March 5-April 16th in the SOMArts Main Gallery. The exhibition will visually explore problems in contemporary society which require “corrections”, and the public will be invited to interact with the exhibit by placing “corrections” in a paper shredder as part of the installation. Participating artists come from Columbia, Austria, Belgium, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, Israel, Sweden, Canada, and the USA, including eight from the Bay Area. Curated by Harriette Lawler and Frank Ettenberg, this show has been juried through the internet and represents a global look at the difference artists can make through their imagery.In addition, the World Café, an international networking organization, will be holding a continuing conversation event in the Main Gallery on Saturday March 21, from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
