GET TO KNOW some of the Bay Area's art stars of tomorrow, today, at the 14th annual "Stillwell Show," which presents new works by eight San Francisco State University MFA students and more than 50 undergrads. Standouts among the latter include Audra DeWitt, whose Virgin with VCR is an amazing photograph of a serene, contemplative figurine that is a bit askew and thus ever so slightly unsettling. Bruce Aguirre and Gavin Burnett contribute a linocut and an aerosol, respectively; their images are powerful and stark, using minimal color and line for a compelling effect. Of the MFAs, Mark Leavitt and Casondra Sobieralski provide remarkable works. Leavitt's Bye American pairs a public rest room towel dispenser with a dressmaker's mannequin; the long, blue fabric towel comes out of the former and wraps around the latter like a form-fitting sheath dress. The artist intended his piece as a criticism of American consumers' dependence on cheap foreign labor, but it could serve equally well as a biting parody of the world of haute couture, or a brilliant Dada-inspired absurdist sculpture. Sobieralski presents her documentary, Patricia Silver's Story, as part of a larger installation in which she re-creates a 1950s-style living room. Over the course of the 34-minute video, the now-elderly Silver describes her experiences as a victim of McCarthyism and draws parallels between that era and America's current political climate. Silver's speaking style is direct and unflinching as she discusses her confusion and fear during weeks of harassment and detainment. Her message is made somewhat removed and ethereal, however, by the sunlight streaming through her living-room window, which casts her face in high relief and imbues her words with a kind of timelessness and symbolism – a quality of abstraction that contrasts interestingly with the substance of her monologue.
