Route 3: Anthony Discenza Meets Mungo Thomson Meets Harrell Fletcher Meets Alicia McCarthy Meets Eleanor Antin Meets Jason Meadows Meets Rodney Graham Meets Pascal Shirley Meets Ari Marcopoulos Meets Paul McCarthy Meets James Welling Meets Catherine Opie Meets Tammy Rae Carland Meets Ed Ruscha is the third exhibition in an annual series to be drawn from the 101 Collection based in San Francisco. It examines the essential nature of an art collection -- an accumulation of objects gathered for personal interest, research, or presentation -- and attempts to provide an alternative organizational strategy to that of a thematic structure.
The curator, David Kasprzak (MA Curatorial Practice 2011) has completely relinquished the decision-making process, instead inviting the artists in the 101 Collection to select the works themselves. In addition, he delegated his curatorial tasks to colleagues within the Wattis and CCA. The chief preparator, who typically follows the installation plan and instruction of a curator, has installed the exhibition. The institution’s designer has created the graphic identity. All texts have been generated by the institution's managing editor.
Featured artists: Anthony Discenza, Mungo Thomson, Harrell Fletcher, Alicia McCarthy, Eleanor Antin, Jason Meadows, Rodney Graham, Pascal Shirley, Ari Marcopoulos, Paul McCarthy, James Welling, Catherine Opie, Tammy Rae Carland, and Ed Ruscha
