Silverlens Galleries
Makati, Philippines
A suite of paintings rendering the aftermath of seismic ruptures. Based on images of empty, ghostly landscapes and destroyed roads from specific quakes around the Pacific Rim, the paintings function as metaphor for broader contemporary conditions of cognitive and cultural collapse. The works range in size from 2×3 to 4×5 feet.

‘After Pop Life’ exhibition
Purified with holy water from Lake Minnetonka, the Minnesota Street Project Media Gallery was temporarily rechristened as a place of worship for the music of Prince Rogers Nelson.
The Chapel hosted daily Hours of Contemplation, featuring a selection of Wofford’s karaoke videos. Special Services were also held certain afternoons and evenings, when the Karaoke Hymnal was opened to the faithful to choose and perform their songs of devotion.
The Chapel was part of the After Pop Life exhibition curated by Glen Helfand.

digital murals
SFAC/SFPUC commission
In this project, the marine animals that live in San Francisco’s waters gently remind passersby that dumping toxic items into the city’s storm drains directly affects their well-being. (The project title references a once much-loved, now extinct, local paper.)
6 digital murals have been installed by storm drains in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco for approximately one year. Each mural depicts a different local animal protecting its storm drain while also staring pointedly at passersby, as if to impress upon them their own responsibility to protect these waters, as well.
SF Bay Guardians is the pilot project of the Storm Drain Mural Program, a collaboration between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC).

Public Works: Off-Site
Gather in an enchanted secret garden and join in a once-in-a-lifetime promenade of fetish worship, lyric poem and ceremonial pantomime rivaled only by the Muses and Graces of yore. Jenifer K. Wofford and her collaborators invite you to join in the sacred rites and rituals of women’s public and private lives at their Temple of the Mysteries in the ancient city of Oakland, California. Marvel in their beguiling feminine ways, and reflect deeply upon the curiously gendered qualities of public and private space, of sovereignty over one’s body, of the overarching pleasures and sorrows of social narcissism, and the value of a good data plan.
MaxiPad: Templum de Mysteriis featured Niki Magtoto, Monica Magtoto, Alysoun Quinby, Jessica Gammell, Kim Arteche, Dara Del Rosario, Jeila Saidi, Victoria Ayala, Azin Seraj, Patricia Cariño and Rebeka Rodriguez.
Public Works: Off-Site was organized by Southern Exposure in partnership with the Mills College Art Museum in conjunction with the exhibition Public Works: Artists’ Interventions 1970s–Now, curated by Christian L. Frock and Tanya Zimbardo, on view September 16 – December 13, 2015 at the museum.
