From a foamy art exhibition to a performance of Mozart's last symphony, there are some adventures within the Bay Area this weekend.
Here is a partial overview.
When foamy bubbles = art
Do you remember the Foam parties, this cultural phenomenon, which was inexplicably popular within the Nineteen Nineties, through which people danced around with foamy bubbles in a room? Well, foam parties are back and this time they’re high art.
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays to February eighth, the Minnesota Street project will hold appearances by Mikhail Mikhailov's “self -obvious” in San Francisco. The first time that this piece has been staged you’ll be able to see what Hilarity results. Of course it’s deeper. “In our cultural dialogue about reality and perception, in our cultural dialogue and perception,” writes the organizers of the show. “At a time when several realities – equipped, virtually and artificially – overshadow and sometimes overshade and overshadow and Sometimes overshadow, Mikhailov's work intentionally uses darkness as a powerful artistic tool. “
There are two ways to enjoy this performance: as an observer or as a participant swimming in the froth while wearing white protective suits. However, most participants tickets appear to be sold out. So plan to be an observer – not a nasty thing since you will find a way to see what happens and never blindly (in a funny way) in foam.
