Please join Bass & Reiner for a talk with Ellie Hunter and Laura Figa as they discuss their current exhibition "Doppia" with Natasha Matteson, Assistant Curator at the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

Natasha Matteson is Assistant Curator at The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, where she has curated the original exhibition Show Me as I Want to Be Seen (2019) and a forthcoming original exhibition, Izidora Leber LETHE: Peristyle (2019). Prior to her work at The CJM, Matteson curated Take My Sex, I Don’t Need It at 100% Gallery (2017) and Memory Meat at The Red Victorian (2016), both in San Francisco. She has contributed to and edited exhibition catalogs for Sabbath: The 2017 Dorothy Saxe Invitational (2017) and Show Me as I Want to Be Seen (2019). Matteson has held positions at The 500 Capp Street Foundation, Gagosian Gallery, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and holds her BFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute.

Laura Figa (b.1992, Chicago, IL.) lives and works in San Francisco. Across a variety of mediums her work explores systems of notation and long distance communication, often as they relate to a human scale. Figa received her MFA from California College of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at the 500 Capp St. Foundation, San Francisco, CA; Borderline Art Collective, San Francisco, CA; and Johalla Projects, Chicago, IL.

Ellie Hunter (b.1989, San Francisco, CA.) is currently based in New York City. An interdisciplinary artist, she locates her work inside spaces where human bodies are heavily scrutinized, and explores the way a pathologizing ethic extends outside of medical institutions and into everyday lives, rendering people as perpetual patients. Hunter received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has participated in residencies at Interstate Projects, New York, NY; Rupert, Vilnius, Lithuania; and Ox-Bow, Saugatuck, Michigan. Recent projects include solo shows at Editorial, Vilnius, Lithuania; and SUPERDEALS, Brussels, Belgium.
