In conjunction with the exhibit .
Matt Gonzalez is well known as a progressive politician who served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and was Ralph Nader’s 2008 vice-presidential running mate.
Gonzalez is also an accomplished collage artist who has exhibited at numerous local venues; a recent review in the San Francisco Chronicle describes his work as “grid-like, woven geometric pieces incorporating found packaging, dappled with primary colors and riddled with frayed edges.” Gonzalez has an abiding interest in Schwitters, who, he asserts, is “important to anyone who takes up glue and scissors.”

At 2 p.m., immediately preceding the collage making, Gonzalez will comment informally in the exhibition galleries about some of his favorite Schwitters pieces. Starting at 2:30, we invite you to pick up a pair of scissors and join Matt at the collage table in the museum’s exciting Gallery B space. Materials provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own as well.
While these events are designed for adults, children 12 and over are welcome to participate.
Included with museum admission, members always free.
