    Ever After, an exhibition curated by curatorial collective, OFFSpace, is one of the most memorable art openings I’ve experienced (ever). The show resides in what most individuals would consider a rather unorthodox and unusual place for an art exhibition – a columbarium. Yes, you read that correctly. This show is in a columbarium. Currently in the process of revising and editing pieces for publication and rest assured (no pun intended), my review of Ever After is in the works. For now, please view some of the photos from the opening.

  • The People SF ~ On Democracy

    9/16/2011

    ·

    Performance and Conceptual

    Participating in the Big Art Group’s project, The People – SF, was a great experience. One of my dear childhood friends, Ricky Castaneda (fellow SF native and future lawyer) asked me to interview and discuss issues about community, democracy, war, and terrorism. Watching the opening night of The People – SF, I must say my favorite parts of the overall presentation involved hearing other locals’ thoughts on the aforementioned concepts. Truthfully, I wished the piece focused more on the interviews only because I found them the most provocative portions of the overall piece (NO, I did not want to see more of myself, just wanted to put that out there [Insert smiley face with tongue sticking out]). Rather, I wanted to hear more from the interviewees and hear their experiences and stories, which make San Francisco the vibrant and diverse place that cultivates a strong sense of community and awareness of these issues. Overall, I was/am proud I was able to represent my city ~ San Francisco.

  • Art of Hustle | Where Art meets Entrepreneurship

    Art Practice, Artist’s Philosophy, Artist’s Studio, Inside the Artist’s Studio

    What’s the biggest compliment (ever)?

    Having your mentor say some really wonderful things about you. 🙂

    Visual artist, Jenifer Wofford, was interviewed by artist and founder of Art of Hustle, Anthem Salgado a couple of months ago. Jenifer has been my mentor for the past few years and its been an incredible experience. Not only did she let me in on her art practice, experiences, knowledge-sharing about the art community, she helped me see my potential and all the possibilities around art writing and becoming an active member of the art community. Naturally, listening to the podcast, I was ridiculously honored when she mentioned our mentoring relationship during her interview and said some flattering things about me. It was such a phenomenal feeling.

    Aside from Jenifer’s kind words and wisdom, once again, she introduced me to an invaluable resource – Anthem Salgado. I highly recommend you listen to his podcasts, read his posts, and access him via Twitter/RSS/Facebook ESPECIALLY if you’re an artist. Art of Hustle is fantastic and very much needed!!

    To learn more about Jenifer Wofford’s work, click here to view her art portfolio and CV and here for her custom illustration and design site.

  • Inform: Turning Data into Meaning Exhibition @ the Adobe Museum of Digital Media

    Although there have been mixed reviews of the Adobe Museum of Digital Media (AMDM), I’m a huge fan and it’s a virtual space I cannot resist. I’ve anticipated the latest exhibition, Inform: Turning Data into Meaning, curated by Thomas Goetz (Executive Editor of Wired Magazine). One of the exciting aspects of the exhibition was seeing artist Aaron Koblin as one of the exhibiting artist. Koblin sits on the board of directors at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (GAFFTA), which is the arts and technology organization I volunteer for!! I highly recommend exploring and sharing your thoughts on the show. I will try to post my reflections but with a few personal projects and work deadlines, it will take me some time. Again, please take a look around the AMDM. It’s the only museum you visit at 3 am with no security guard, admission fee, or crowd.

  • Take Off Your Pants for Women!!!

    9/12/2011

    ·

    Art, Interactive / Participatory Art, Visual Arts

    Artists, Emmanuelle Namont Kouznetsov and Elyse Hochstadt certainly caught my attention when I read their request for participation in their latest work.

    They are developing work around the current political climate. One piece is addressing the ever-changing status of women in culture and how the extreme right/religious right/Tea Party is changing not only legislation but undermining the overall perception of the role of women in society.

    They are reaching out to friends and family and asking us to dig through our closets for those unused “work” pants.

    Specifically, the artists are looking for the following:

    • Black, Grey, Dark Blue or Pin Stripe pants
    • Pants considered as proper office attire for a professional woman

    Size doesn’t matter, but time does!! Please go check your closets and contact the artists with additional questions. The artists are also willing to arrange for a pick-up, if necessary.

    Please contact Emmanuelle Namont Kouznetsov (Location: San Francisco) via e-mail at elle@emmanuellenamont.com

    OR

    Elyse Hochstadt (Location: East Bay) via e-mail at elyseh1@gmail.com

    Donors will be acknowledged as a participants. The artists will keep everyone informed of the developments of the piece as well as where it will be exhibited. More to come…

    It was a wonderful weekend connecting with great minds, seeing new art, and meeting artists at the Keeping an Eye on Surveillance opening over the weekend. I took some pictures and will be posting very soon. For now, take a look at one of the artists from the show – Jim Campbell. Highly intelligent and well executed concept. More to come!

    Art, Philosophy

    What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.

    ~ Michel Foucault, Philosopher, social theorist, and historian
