Chris Sollars work revolves around the reclamation and subversion of public space through urban interventions, the results of which are integrated into mixed media video installations. Sollars recently completed Arthur Allan, a 2 person show at 667Shotwell with artist Brion Nuda Rosch, and Brautigan: a Sculpture & Video Installation featuring 7 sculptures for 7 books by SF Bay Area art organizer and poet Richard Brautigan during his Headlands residency. In 2008 Sollars completed C RED BLUE J, an experimental documentary feature that uses his family, including his sister who works for the Bush Administration, his Born Again father, and his Lesbian mother to illustrate the complications of division during the 2004 Presidential election. C RED BLUE J screened at SFMOMA on Election Day and Dec 2 and in Creative Time’s Democracy in America show that took place at the Park Armory September 21 - 27. C RED BLUE J was written about in the:
