Born from the tension between perfection and release, Not/Ready Gallery is a new space for works seeking an audience before they’re fully “done.” Sponsored by Q11.org and Tencue, the gallery offers artists a platform—gratis—to test ideas, expose process, and invite dialogue rather than judgment. It’s a place where unfinished becomes vital, and deadlines become catalysts for expression.
The Gallery is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm by reservation or at other time by special arrangement. Please use the link below or email notready@q11.org. We would love to show you the gallery.
if the link doesn’t work, email: notready@q11.org
please include number of guests attending.

Barney Haynes
Barney Haynes, CCA Faculty, Professor Emeritus, Sculpture Program, has been working in the fields of video art, performance, reactive installation, and interactive media for 30 years. In his art he has adopted an iterative approach to media making, recombining themes and industrial surplus into media machines that evolve and mutate.
Muon/Vortex
Vortices are triggered and sculpted by cosmic muons passing through the installation.
Each passing muon stirs a whirlpool into life—a brief choreography between the subatomic and the visible, where chance becomes motion and the universe reveals its smallest gesture.
What the ____ is a Muon
A ghost particle from space, slipping through skin, stone, and silence. They pass through you as you read this—the universe is less solid than it seems. They shouldn’t live long enough to reach us, but time bends in their favor. Einstein called it special relativity. The rest is speculation and wonder.
Sudhu Tewari
Sudhu Tewari is an electro-acoustic composer, improvisor, and bricoleur in sound, kinetic and interactive art. He holds a B.A. in Music from Sonoma State University, a M.F.A. in Electronic Music and Recording Technology from Mills College, and a Ph.D. in Cultural Musicology from UC Santa Cruz. His passion for design, re-design, and recuperation has led to the creation of experimental musical instruments, kinetic sculptures, interactive installations, audio electronics, and wearable sound art. Dr. Tewari teaches at California College of the Arts, the Crucible, and UC Berkeley and manages an instrument building workshop at Mills College/Northeastern University in Oakland.
Drains and Planes
A sonic exploration of flow and residue. Layered currents, distant echoes, the quiet insistence of things moving beneath the surface. What drains away, what remains, what hums between worlds.
