55:56 First Friday Event Start Date: Friday 11/1/2019 — End Date: Friday 11/1/2019 Admission:Free 55:56 A multimedia installation by Baharak & Behnaz Khaleghi October 4 – November 16, 2019 ‘For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.’ (I Corinthians 11:8-9) ‘In them [gardens] are women limiting [their] glances, untouched before them by man or jinni.”(Ayah 56, Sura Ar-Rahman) Houris are described as incarnations of perfection; beautiful women who are gifted to men in heaven. Harmful ideologies of a “perfect woman are written into texts across cultures, creating paradoxes in which women are scrutinized for inevitably falling short of these standards. Through satire, Baharak and Behnaz Khaleghi begin to subvert our expectations of this ideology by asking questions about women’s relation to patriarchal structures. Aggregate Space Gallery presents 55:56, a multimedia installation, exploring an alternate and private space for houris, where they are able to embrace and indulge in both humanly and heavenly desires, free from the expectations of others. This exhibition is curated by Laine Corfield and Sophia Feuer as the culminating project of Aggregate Space Gallery’s annual intensive Curatorial Fellowship.

Single, Straight & Breathing Start Date: Sunday 11/3/2019 — End Date: Sunday 11/3/2019 Admission:10 “All the men are either married, gay, or dead” has often been the complaint of San Francisco’s single women. Not at tonight’s party, which is based on a singles organization decades ago in SF called “Single, Straight, & Breathing.” Once a week the women would host a party in The City at one of their homes. The catch was that each woman would have to bring 2 men who were “single, straight, and breathing” in order to be welcome. Eventually the group was disbanded because all the women found a man! After several decades, we resurrect this concept at tonight’s party. While women are welcome to come unaccompanied, it would be great if each woman brought along at least one bachelor with whom she is NOT romantically involved (brother, father, son, cousin, co-worker, next door neighbor, ex-husband, etc.) DETAILS: Sunday, November 3, 2019, 4-6pm. $10 at the door includes a FUN Mixer Game, accompanied by light appetizers, served at 4pm, as long as they last. The free food may be gone quickly, so come early! Adults of all ages welcome. Dress to impress. LOCATION: Coinop, 508 Fourth Street at Bryant, San Francisco CA. Coinop used to be the large Drake Nightclub. We have room for a big crowd, so please invite as many singles as possible! Conveniently located near BART, CalTrain, and MUNI. Free street parking in SF on Sundays! PLEASE NOTE: This is an inclusive party, so adults of all ages, all ethnic groups, and all orientations are welcome. CO-SPONSORED by The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization; and many other singles organizations and meetups. This is a fundraiser for The Seva Foundation, www.seva.org, to restore sight to the blind. Every $50 we raise at the party finances a cataract surgery for one blind person in one of the poor countries of Asia or Africa!
