MAMCO and HEAD are pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition Quickkopy Conceptualism: Bay Area Dada to Bay Area Punk, the result of a project carried out jointly since autumn 2025 by the museum team, HEAD students, and visiting researcher Branden W. Joseph.

Born from an exploration of the archives of the Geneva-based collective Ecart, the exhibition traces the networks of postal exchanges that, from the 1970s onward, connected various alternative art scenes across the West. It highlights the Dada and punk spirit of the Bay Area in San Francisco through fanzines, collages, performances, and audio and video documents—traces of a scene that challenged meaning, gender, authority, and institutions.

The opening will be an opportunity to discover this journey, punctuated by rare works and archival material, along with postcard-making workshops, listening sessions from MAMCO’s sound poetry collection led by Amos Krakover, and a bar area.
