Panel Discussion: Open Works Karl Heinz Jeron, artist Lynn Hershman Leeson, artist Jon Rubin, artist Rudolf Frieling, curator, media arts, SFMOMA Frank Smigiel, associate curator, public programs, SFMOMA Phyllis Wattis Theater 1:00 p.m. The Art of Participation proposes that participatory art stems from a notion of indeterminacy — an openness to chance or change. A concept introduced by John Cage in the early 1950s, indeterminacy refers to projects that cannot be completed by the artist's intention or the art object's form alone. Frieling explores this premise in relation to the exhibition. Hershman Leeson, Jeron, and Rubin talk about their own work and how open practices remake histories of performance, video, and mass media. $10 general; $7 SFMOMA members, students, and seniors. Tickets are available at the Museum (with no surcharge) or online. Buy tickets
