Montalvo Arts Center is bursting out of the confines of its Saratoga home with its new public exhibition, “lone some,” which is on display just about everywhere — on billboards, bus shelters and other public spots in the South Bay, East Bay, and San Francisco.
The project grew out of Montalvo’s current program, “SOCIAL: Rethinking Loneliness Together,” and has taken on new relevance in an era where we’re practicing physical distancing, sheltering at home and covering our faces.
“Our current situation of shelter in place and social distancing has created an entirely new level of urgency to the topic of loneliness, which has now become relevant to millions more people,” said Kelly Sicat, Director of Montalvo’s Lucas Artists Program. “These works will be viewed by individuals driving in the safety of their cars, taking socially-distanced walks, or commuting by bus along the Peninsula. We hope ‘lone some’ will not only provoke curiosity, but also spark conversation and connection.”
