Hey there - Eve again...For the next 3 Sundays from 12 - 5pm Margaret Tedesco is opening her home gallery, 2nd Floor projects for a show by Jill Miller called COLLECTORS at 3740 25th Street (at Guerrero) #205. I think it will be interesting to check out especially if you have never been to Margaret's space. She is very supportive of local artists.
Here's the description:
Continues Sundays through January 6, 2008, 12-5pm
From January to March 2007 San Francisco-based artist Jill Miller trained with a licensed private investigator.
She worked on real cases, learning various components of the profession, from vehicle outfitting to location
reconnaissance to moving surveillance (vehicular and pedal). Miller began this project out of her interest in
the ways that the legal system protects (or challenges) an individual’s right to privacy. Driven by this curiosity,
she learned how to conduct surveillance within the legal limits of the law. Once familiar with the field, Miller
(and a team of two artist assistants) executed her own plans for surveillance under the advisement of the
private investigator. Only this time, instead of working on randomly assigned cases, Miller turned an eye onto the
art world itself, spending six months undercover doing surveillance on the San Francisco art world’s most elusive
community: art collectors. Miller estimates she did surveillance on ten houses, focusing on five of them in depth.
The exhibition, Collectors, is an installation of video, photography, text, and sculptural elements made during
Miller’s six months of undercover surveillance.

A 16-page tabloid (edition of 500, signed by the artist) accompanies the exhibition.
Support for this project is provided by the Experimental Media Arts Residency, Department of Art,
at Stanford University and Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant Program.
