Public Land Gallery is excited to present "GAS 2 SF," a group photo exhibition curated by San Francisco-based multi-disciplinary artist Bill Daniel featuring fellow lackadasicals, with a film screening of his durable movie "Who is Bozo Texino?."

An inconclusive collection of artists seemingly obsessed with getting from here to there—without any reasonable explanation why, except perhaps for the possibility of something skatable, markable, or catchable along the way.

Featuring work by Mike Brodie, Mia Justice Smith, R.Virgel, Tobin Yelland, John Longyear, Karoline Collins, Brad Wescott, David Eberhardt, Sluto, Droid 907, Jeanne McCelland and Anson Cyr.

Plus, a 20th-century hobo journalism display by (unlicensed) media historian Dave H.

The show opens with a reception on Saturday, April 5th, 2025, from 6–8 PM, with a screening of "Who is Bozo Texino? at 8 PM in our parking lot. This exhibition will be on display through June 9th, 2025. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Join us on April 5th to meet the artist and experience Bill's
