- Fifty24SF Opens “Over Normal”
Radiohead’s interactions with San Francisco have been overwhelmingly positive (if you discount sound interruptions at the first Outside Lands fest, of course). I’m excited to see that their artist collaborator Stanley Donwood is having his first stateside show, “Over Normal,” at Fifty24SF on Fillmore starting tonight. Following a reception tonight, the work that plays on [...]
- Welcome September + Architecture & The City Festival
Hearing about “Investigating Urban Metabolisms” so soon after lunch may have you reeling, but program details for the seventh Architecture and the City Festival may get you ready to digest (tours, films and lectures, that is). For the month of September, the American Institute of Architects’ local chapter has planned events that consider how information, [...]
- Outdoors Again >> The Amrita Edition
Ah, weekend getaway. I’m still getting back to it after a camping trip with pals took me to Yosemite, and while I’m not much of a camper, well-outfitted friends demonstrated how much nicer being outside all night can be with select gear. Since I’ve been back in the City by the Bay, I’m realizing what [...]
- In Conversation with Slideshare’s Rashmi Sinha
I speak for production company VidSF and myself when I say it was a pleasure to talk with Slideshare co-founder Rashmi Sinha at the company’s SoMa office recently about her early visions for the site and her career. The interview, which addresses her advice for people considering leaving their jobs to start a new endeavor, [...]
- Building by the Block
My first question upon seeing creator Patrick Chirico’s “Build Your Block” pillow set based on Brooklyn brownstones was when SF renditions might be made. The answer? When you’re ready. For $75, your favorite corner store/Victorian/vertical park image can grace your couch. Why not go for a full set of Painted Ladies?
- Starting the Week the Haberdash Way
I just returned to SF from an East Coast/Midwest holiday to find that temperatures in the City by the Bay have risen to near-summer levels, and I’m hopeful that they’ll have us turning to new closet items over the parkas we’ve become accustomed to. Enter The Haberdash, a local fashion show and party taking place [...]
- MacNaughton Gets Sneakerific
When Women 2.0 co-founder Shaherose Charania told me that she received a pair of Asics as a thank you gift for speaking at a conference recently, it made me want to get back on the speaker circuit. In the meantime, I loved local illustrator Wendy MacNaughton’s poster below promoting a party Thursday at Shoebiz on [...]
- Welcome Hue Amour
When designer Chris Olson packed her bags to head to Florida, I was sad because–among many other things–few people can brighten up a studio apartment the way she can. Thankfully she’s opened Hue Amour, a color consultation and decorating biz to spread the interior joy. Have a look–you’ll like.
- 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 [...]
