Stephanie Syjuco

Monday February 6, Visiting Artist Lecture

Stephanie Syjuco's recent work uses the tactics of bootlegging, reappropriation,
and fictional fabrications to address issues of cultural biography, labor,
and economic globalization. Working primarily in sculpture and installation,
her projects leverage open-source systems, shareware logic, and flows of
capital, creating frictions between high ideals and everyday materials. This
has included starting a global collaborative project with crochet crafters to
counterfeit high-end consumer goods; presenting a parasitic art counterfeiting
event, "COPYSTAND: An Autonomous Manufacturing Zone" for Frieze
Projects, London (2009); and “Shadowshop,” an alternative vending outlet
embedded at SFMOMA exploring the ways in which artists are navigating the
production, consumption, and dissemination of their work (2011). Born in the
Philippines, her work has been shown nationally and internationally, and
included in exhibitions at MOMA/P.S.1, the Whitney Museum of American
Art, The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and the California Biennial at
the Orange County Museum of Art.

All lectures are free to the public and held at Sonoma State University in the Art Department. This semesters lectures will be held on Mondays (unless otherwise noted), Room 102 from Noon - 1:00pm.
