Underfoot 2011 - Bay Artists look DOWN

Workspace Gallery proudly introduces our second annual sewer extravaganza, Sept 14th through 17th!

What has science got to do with it?  Well sometimes you just have to take a chance!  A bicycle tour of city infrastructure is a tour of applied science.  Places we don't normally think of that only work because of our understanding of science!

Wednesday  Sept 14

7 pm -  Workspace  Gallery presents 14 bay area artists responding to the land below our feet. What do we see and feel about this ground we walk over, tunnel under, drink of, dig up, eat from, and bury our dead in?
