This is going to be one crazy-amazing project. Hope to see all my Fridas out there on Saturday.



Frida Kahlo Model Search SF MOMA Tableaux Presentation


The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in celebrating its current
exhibition, is collaborating with curator Rene Yanez in conducting a
Frida Kahlo Look-a-like Model Search for Tableaux (living paintings)
presentations. Located in the Schaub Room on SFMOMA's first floor,
this special presentation will take place on Sunday, September 28th
2008. We are looking for up to 4 to 5 models over the age of 17 to
recreate Frida's paintings or moments of her life on 8'x8' platforms
with painted backgrounds and a live music soundscape.

These Tableaus are created in the spirit of the 1992 San Francisco
"Pasion Por Frida" exhibition at the Mexican Museum. The process
will consist of 3 auditions;
The first audition will be an open call at the Galeria De La Raza,
2851 24th Street in San Francisco on Saturday, August 2nd at 5:30pm as
part of the Mission MAPP (Mission Art & Performance Project). This
first audition will be conducted in the order of arrival. Please come
dressed as Frida, already costumed or with makeup, for the audition;
you are also encouraged to participate in other Mission MAPP
festivities in the area with the theme of "Frida Was Here". You can
obtain a map of locations at the Red Poppy Art House at 23rd and
Folsom.

Second and third auditions are by appointment only and will be at the
SFMOMA on Saturday August 9th at 1pm and Saturday August 16th at 1pm,
please send a picture and bio to Rene Yanez at rene@somarts.org and we
will contact you to schedule an appointment.
