One of my all-time-favorite conceptual artists is coming to the Bay Area this weekend.

Cary Leibowitz (AKA CandyAss) in conversation with Glen Helfand

Cary Leibowitz mixes Jewish identity, kitsch, modernist critique, Queer politics, and design culture into dryly witty multiples and paintings. The artist will be in converation with the San Francisco Art Institute’s Glen Helfand celebrating the release of a new limited edition artwork developed especially for the Museum Store.

Leibowitz’ work was included in the landmark exhibitions Too Jewish?
