- Intersection Highlights Trash Turned Treasure
Some of the most fun I had during my first year in advertising involved working with two artists in the SF Dump’s Artist in Residency program (count on our fair city to be one of the only ones nationwide that gives artists the privilege). Tables with bike wheels, sod couches and bulletproof benches were among [...]
- Shouting about Oakland Art
This being the first Friday of the month, the Oakland Art Murmur taking place this weekend along at galleries near the MacArthur BART beckons with art walks and concurrent receptions. Buzz Gallery, Creative Growth, and Rock Paper Scissors Collective will be among those opening their doors and showing work alongside performers on 23rd.
- Oregonians Take Hotel Utah
When Method’s Anna Kolhede passed along details about John Heart Jackie playing at Hotel Utah on Saturday night, planning on it was a no brainer–like the venue, love the band. The duo of Jennie Wayne and Peter Murray have compiled a set of beautifully melodic songs recorded at an Oregon winery, and her vocals are [...]
- Reading with Curiosity
Should you consider yourself curious and creative (and who here doesn’t?), getting thyself to Valencia Street’s Curiosity Shoppe tonight might make for an inspiring experience. The store is hosting a five-to-eight fiesta in honor of UPPERCASE, a very well designed new publication that’s, quite frankly, not safe for work from the perspective that its visual [...]
- Worth Riding >> Bicycle Music Festival
While I’m away at another music festival this weekend–that being Wanderlust near Lake Tahoe–I’m eager to hear about experiences at the Bicycle Music Fest in SF taking place day and night this Saturday. A non-profit project of the SF Parks Trust, the self-proclaimed world’s largest 100% bicycle-powered music fest is to include a 2,000 watt [...]
- Out Side Art Block Party Benefit
I recommend visiting the culture collective The Skeleton, whose art and music coverage is the brainchild of Monikka Delazerda, a young developer I had the pleasure of interviewing at a Ruby workshop for Mashable. It’s hosting a family-friendly benefit this Sunday that will include Plant*SF public greening and (knock on wood) fries by Fritz.
- Guerrero Gallery Looks Good with No. Five
Boulder-based pal Micah Baldwin turned me on to Guerrero Gallery’s “Weight Perception Show” that opened this week at Andrew Guerrero’s 19th Street space. Artist Andrew Schoultz curated the gallery’s fifth show (and now to work by a few of the participating artists, including Ben Venom, Casey Jex Smith, Glen Baldridge, Harley Lafarrah Eaves, Kevin Taylor, [...]
- Your Chance to Be Playa Famous >> WDYDWYD?
I’m regularly struck by San Franciscan Tony Deifell’s idea for a worldwide community art project intended to answer the question “why do you do what you do?” (and not just because he presented it at Ignite Bay Area but because it includes crowdsourced combinations of motivation, images and ideas). Through Monday, respondents can join the [...]
- New Jewish Filmmaking Project at Castro Theatre
I’m intrigued by Half-Remembered Stories, a multimedia exhibit exploring Jewish heritage that’s launching in partnership between local production company Citizen Film and the SF Jewish Film Festival. The latter is turning 30 this year and celebrating by presenting 50 shorts and 11 multimedia collages by artists 15 to 25 years old around “half-remembered” aspects of [...]
- Welcome Design Bureau
As ALARM Press introduces its newest magazine title at Chicago’s Glessner House Museum tonight, I’ll be scouring the book for work including a white Moleskine for Yoox, graphic hand printed stockings, and Joshua Tree’s most compelling rentals. Style arbiters and creative pros take note: Design Bureau is “dedicated to delivering honest global dialogue on design [...]
