As San Francisco struggles to maintain itself as the epicenter of progressive thought this show brings together the work of nine Bay Area artists who readily employ humor to subvert cultural/political constructs.

As the imperial war machine actively redefines patriotism through compelling propaganda and Überhawk information generators, perhaps never before has it been so important to interrupt the homogenized sentiment of an emotionally paralyzed society and activate political criticism.

As intolerable global realities confine parts of society to a frustrated state of political apathy and threaten progressive momentum A Spoonful of Sugar provides the opportunity to revitalize consciousness and celebrate absurdity.
