SUMMARY:SF Camerawork\'s Opening Reception for Summer 2009 Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco CameraworkJoin us to celebrate the opening of three new exhibitions that will be on view from June 4 – August 22\, 2009Opening Reception: Thursday\, June 4th  5-8 PMErsatz Group ExhibitionErsatz Group Exhibition uses the aesthetics and mechanisms of the postal service as means for an exhibition of artwork created by mail. Mail art has evolved as an artistic genre since the mid 20th century and remains a popular form of expression due to its egalitarian\, free form structure. Keeping within an egalitarian framework\, the exhibition is co-curated by UPS professional Dennis D’Ambrogio\, with assistance from co-curators Chris Fitzpatrick and Chuck Mobley.Curators Larry Rinder and Evelyne Jouanno have been invited to tour the exhibition in advance of the opening and respond to the work in the exhibition catalog that will accompany the show. The catalog will serve as a directory of international artists\, and beginning in July will be available in book form from print-on-demand company Blurb\, as well as a downloadable PDF on SF Camerawork’s website.Leaving a Mark: Cutter PhotozineCutter Photozine is a Bay Area-based documentary photo magazine dedicated to featuring people telling their own stories and documenting their own existence. Cutter seeks to undo a traditional voyeurism of the \'other\' and place the power of sight in the focused home of the author. This special exhibition celebrates the launch of the second issue: Leaving a Mark with more than 25 artists featured. The exhibition Leaving a Mark: Cutter Photozine is organized by Cutter editors\, Jesse Rose Roberts\, Heather Renee Russ and\, Rachel Styer.2009 James D. Phelan Art Award in PhotographyDoris Jew Conrath and Jim StoneThe James D. Phelan Art Award in Photography is administered annually by SF Camerawork for The San Francisco Foundation\, and is given in recognition of artistic achievements by California-born artists. The 2009 award recipients are Doris Jew Conrath and Jim Stone. Jurors for this year’s award were: Allan deSouza\, artist and SFAI professor\, and Cathy Kimball\, executive director of San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art.Award recipient Doris Jew Conrath’s panoramic images are created out of several photographs. The artist explains\, “Instead of wide views of a physical space taken by pivoting from one point\, I record while walking around a structure and unfold the space in a manner similar to a world map created by using a cylindrical projection method.  The individual photographs are then digitally stitched together\, forming a new space that shows all sides\, allowing the viewer to take in multi facets at once.”The photography of Jim Stone explores facets of America’s unusual and complex character\, including such sub-themes as obsession and its public display\, the mixing of religious and military iconography in a peaceable secular society\, and the ironic difference between intent and achievement. Ultimately the artist sees his work as framing “an organized set of graphic and sociological concerns.”\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Conversations 5 Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Conversation 5: Jamie Vasta and Nicholas Pye and Sheila Pye Dates: July 23 – September 19\, 2009Opening Reception: Thursday\, July 23\, 7 – 9pmLocation: SFAC Gallery\, 401 Van Ness Avenue (at McAllister)\, San Francisco\, CAConversations is an ongoing series of exhibitions at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery featuring a local artist alongside an artist from another point on the globe. The intent of this series is two-fold: on an intimate level it allows for a closer look at the production of two individual artists\, and it also informs an expansive perspective of how artists from our region participate in an international contemporary art dialogue. Conversation 5 features San Francisco-based artist Jamie Vasta and the Toronto-based artist team Nicholas Pye & Sheila Pye. SirensJamie Vasta is renowned for her exuberant paintings depicting dark and dramatic narratives. Vasta “paints” with glitter\, and the result is a surface that is entirely beautiful and enticing – drawing the view closer\, in spite of the often violent subject matter. For this new body of work Vasta has created three large-scale works that will reside both on the floor and on the walls of the SFAC Gallery. Her subject matter revolves around the mythical stories of Sirens luring sailors to their death. With charged with potent sexual and psychological content\, Sirens pushes the viewer to reflect on gender-based power dynamics\, as well as the very human tendency to be seduced by what is desirable yet dangerous.  Loudly\, Death UntiesNicholas Pye & Sheila Pye have been making films and photographs together\, in addition to their individual practices\, since 2001. In 2004 the Pyes created the short film\, The Paper Wall\, which became the first in what was to be a trilogy of works about relationships. The Paper Wall is about a brother and sister expressing their desires silently to each other through a wall. The second film\, A Life of Errors\, produced in 2006\, is about a battle of wills and the testing of various relationship breaking points. Loudly\, Death Unties\, produced in 2008\, is the final film in the trilogy. The film\, ultimately\, is about the death of a lover. In Irish folklore\, the wail of a Banshee announces the inevitable death of someone. In Loudly\, Death Unties a Banshee\, in the form of a little girl\, arrives and through a series of uncanny circumstances\, she forces one lover to say goodbye to the other. This film is making its Bay Area premiere and has received rave reviews in Artfoum\, Art in America and Art News. \n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:The First Bank of Antimatter - Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Announcing The First Bank of AntimatterAn Art Project By Jonathon KeatsIn the wake of global economic collapse\, a conceptual artist has introduced a hedge against future catastrophe by creating a mirror economy designed to skyrocket as world markets plummet. The first holistic response to the great recession\, this far-reaching financial innovation was formulated by Jonathon Keats\, whose previous artistic enterprises include applying string theory to real estate development. \'Economic equilibrium is upset by our unbalanced pursuit of material wealth\,\' explains Mr. Keats. \'My plan is to offset materialism with modern science\, by exploiting the economic potential of antimatter\, which is the physical opposite of anything made with atoms\, from luxury condos to private jets.\' Backed by private Swiss funding\, his scheme will be implemented beginning on November 12\, 2009\, when the First Bank of Antimatter opens in San Francisco\'s Monadnock Building\, the location of Modernism Gallery.The bank will serve as a hub for antimatter transactions worldwide\, eventually financing the building of antimatter infrastructure and providing the public with a full range of investment opportunities. \'But our first order of business will be printing money\,\' says Mr. Keats. \'Cash is the foundation of any economy\, and an anti-economy is no exception.\'Issued in three convenient denominations\, ranging from 10\,000 positrons to 1\,000\,000 positrons\, and initially trading at an exchange rate of $10 to $1\,000\, the anti-money will be backed by antimatter stored in the bank\'s vault. Because matter and antimatter annihilate each other on contact\, antimatter positrons will be continuously produced on location by decay of the radioactive isotope potassium-40. \'We want our customers to be confident that the antimatter is available on demand\, but we\'re advising clients to conduct transactions strictly in paper currency\,\' says Mr. Keats\, who has used his artistry to design the money in multiple colors including red\, blue and green. \'The paper is cotton rag\, archival enough to survive economic armageddon\' he promises. \'It\'s an essential asset in any balanced portfolio. Antimatter is a natural haven for wealth when everything becomes worthless.\'                          *          *          *Jonathon Keats is a conceptual artist\, fabulist\, and critic residing in San Francisco. Recently he choreographed the first ballet for honeybees at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. He has also exhibited extraterrestrial abstract artwork at the Judah L. Magnes Museum\, unveiled a prototype ouija voting booth for the 2008 election at the Berkeley Art Museum\, attempted to genetically engineer God in a petri dish in collaboration with scientists at the University of California\, opened the world\'s first porn theater for house plants in the town of Chico\, and petitioned Berkeley to pass a fundamental law of logic\, a work commissioned by the city\'s annual Arts Festival. His projects have been documented by PBS\, NPR\, and the BBC World Service\, garnering favorable attention in periodicals ranging from The San Francisco Chronicle and The Washington Post\, to Nature and New Scientist\, to Flash Art and ArtUS. Additionally\, Keats serves as the art critic for San Francisco Magazine and as a columnist for both Artweek and Wired Magazine. He\'s the author of two novels and an award-winning collection of stories recently published by Random House\, as well as museum catalogue essays\, monographs\, and artist\'s books\, and he is currently writing a book on linguistics for Oxford University Press. Since graduating summa cum laude from Amherst College in 1994\, he has been a visiting artist at California and Montana State Universities\, and a guest lecturer at the University of California\, Berkeley\, as well as the recipient of Yaddo and MacDowell fellowships. He is represented by Modernism Gallery in San Francisco. He can be contacted at jonathon_keats@yahoo.com\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

Playing with narrative conventions while simultaneously disrupting notions of continuity and identity\, Rainer weaves the emotional and fictive realms of melodrama\, documentary\, text and archival imagery into a richly textured and compelling work.

SUMMARY:Cinematheque Sing Along: Karaoke Videos
DESCRIPTION:[SF Cinematheque members: free / non-members: $10]http://www.sfcinematheque.org/To dispel the disparaging and misguided claims that experimental work is little more than a territory for tedious academic pursuits\, this edition of the Cinematheque Salon proves once-and-for-all that the avant-garde knows the importance of whimsy. Anyone familiar with the films of Robert Nelson\, Martha Colburn\, Morgan Fisher\, Lawrence Jordan\, Peggy Ahwesh\, William T. Wiley and others (including the fellow we’ll be presenting one week later) knows that humor is an integral element of many experimental works. Cinematheque relocates the (un)usual action to one of the organization’s favorite watering holes and devotes this special program to the most maligned of motion picture forms -- the karaoke video. Peripheral Produce’s PDX Film Festival and the Northwest Film Forum’s Karaoke Challenge have long championed these peculiar mini-masterpieces\, annually commissioning new works for their nefarious purposes. The Cinematheque Sing Along will include pieces from these aforementioned events as well as the premiere of several to-be-announced videos at this one-time-only screening. Featuring videos by Roger Bebee\, Bryan Boyce\, Michael Robinson\, Kelly Sears\, Mary Elizabeth Yarborough and many\, many others.

SUMMARY:GEORGE COLE QUINTET: Acoustic Music Inspired by Gypsy Swing Sounds and The Great American Songbook
DESCRIPTION:A striking fusion of Great American Songbook style original material\, boy-girl harmony vocals and virtuoso guitar and violin solos with Gypsy style instrumentation\, the George Cole Quintet’s style is a mix of Dave Matthews band\, Dan Hicks\, Willie Nelson\, Johnny Cash\, Louis Prima and Keely Smith. With the fiery guitar and lush vocals of George Cole at its center\, this smokin\' Bay Area Quintet invites you to close your eyes and be transported to a sultry evening in a Parisian nightclub.

SUMMARY:Gallery Three Presents Unseen on TV 
DESCRIPTION:“Unseen on TV”New Works by Erik Foss Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 14th 2009\, from 7-11pmThrough:  December 5th 2009 and is open to the public.Gallery Three is proud to present Unseen on TV new works by Erik Foss on Saturday\, November 14th 2009. This overflowing\, compulsive accumulation of works mirrors the chaotic conditions in which they have been made. Unseen on TV symbolizes the irony of our culture’s founding beliefs and ideologies\, revealing America uncensored. Please join us at Gallery Three for the opening reception on Saturday\, November 14th 2009 from 7-11 pm.Seemingly naïve perceptions of sex\, religion and politics are represented in the form of collage\, combined to form a disordered setting for Erik Foss’ new exhibition\, Unseen on TV. This collection is fueled by a sociological deviance from American culture\, while at the same time reflecting the cultures very ideals. Foss’ raw collages on distressed paper are an assembled collection of antique pornography and photographs\, dating as late as the 1800’s. Erotic cut out hearts cover the faces of stoic portraits\, questioning the distinction between offensive vs. provocative or private vs. public concern. Manipulating American history and politics with fearful symmetries and collective despair\, Foss dares to push the boundaries of relative understanding.Erik Foss has been living and working in downtown Manhattan for over twelve years. This will be his second solo show at Gallery Three in San Francisco. He has also shown in several New York galleries including White Box\, Dietch and Jonathan Levine\, as well as The Contemporary Art Museum in Chicago\, Collette in Paris and V1 Gallery in Denmark.Unseen on TV exposes what is normally ignored\, the taboos of human existence and the sort of things you can\'t see on TV. The truth. Please join us at Gallery Three for the opening reception on Saturday\, November 14th 2009 from 7-11 pm. This exhibit is on display through December 5th 2009 and is open to the public.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Shooting Gallery Presents Wild Wild East
DESCRIPTION:Wild Wild EastNew Works By Yumiko KayukawaShowing: November 14th through December 5th\, 2009 and is open to the public.The Shooting Gallery is proud to present Wild Wild East\, new works by Yumiko Kayukawa Saturday\, November 14th 2009.  Kayukawa’s parents and grandparents who were survivors of the tumultuous decade of 1950’s Japan inspired this collection. It represents a time of both positive and negative change\, memories of the past and experiences of the present. Please join us for the opening reception of Wild Wild East from 7-11 pm.Born in the small town of Naie in Hokkaido\, Japan\, Kayukawa’s paintings are drawn from the beauty of her childhood surroundings and understanding of its native animals. Kayukawa reveals an intimate connection to her culture by referencing Shinto Mythology\, Japanese characters and folklore. As a recent transplant to the US\, Wild Wild East also reveals mixed feelings of her experience “surviving” in two very different societies. This exhibition expresses a new perspective by melding both traditional Japanese cultures with her enthusiasm for American pop culture. Yumiko Kayukawa’s pieces often tell a story communicating with dynamic composition\, intriguing poses and fluid patterns. Scenic environments are electrified by bold imagery and color\, painting with acrylic\, using ink for outlines and accents on wood panels and canvas. Her traditional kanji characters enlighten the viewer with titles that give greater understanding to the piece. Emanating a certain famine appeal\, Kayukawa plays on themes of nature\, fantasy\, fashion\, eroticism and rock n’ roll.As a teenager Kayukawa fell in love \'with the energy and giddiness\' of American pop-culture through her exposure to MTV\, film\, and fashion. By the age of 16\, she made her debut into the art world with a comic-book (Manga) feature.  She continues to produce illustrative work\, while showing in galleries internationally\, including Japan\, Seattle\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, New York\, Manchester\, and Miami.Please join us for the opening reception of Wild Wild East\, new works by Yumiko Kayukawa Saturday\, November 14th 2009\, from 7-11pm. This show will be on exhibit from November 14th through December 5th\, 2009 and is open to the public.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents sfSound
DESCRIPTION:Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents the sfSound Group. Over the last few years\, sfSound has been presenting concerts of experimental music from the 60’s and 70’s avant garde alongside current music from the composition and improvisation scenes of today. For this event\, they have taken the same approach with music from Germany and Austria. Helmut Lachenmann’s Dal niente (Interiur III) predates the “lowercase” improv scene by 30 years\, while Olga Neuwirth’s Fondementa is inspired by recent trends in electronic music. The concert concludes with Karlheinz Stockhausen’s KURZWELLEN\, which specifies amplified instruments\, live electronics\, and shortwave radios in an semi-structured graphic score. Performers include: Christopher Froh (percussion and shortwave radio)\, Matt Ingalls (clarinet and bass clarinet)\, John Ingle (baritone and tenor saxophone\, and shortwave radio)\, Christopher Jones (electronics)\, and Monica Scott (cello\, and shortwave radio).\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Ask a Scientist [topic: bio invasion]
DESCRIPTION:THIS MONTH\'S TOPIC: Biological Invasion!Humans are now moving around the world at a fantastic rate\, carrying plants and bugs and diseases which have been trapped on separate continents for millions of years. The organisms we transport are changing our world —  Sudden Oak Death and other pathogens are eliminating forests\, human pandemics are shaking national economies\, and invasive plants are homogenizing natural communities. There are striking parallels between these biological invasions and the 19th-century human disease outbreaks which spurred the science of epidemiology. Thankfully\, solutions to our invasion crisis are as clear and simple as those early public health solutions. Daniel Gluesenkamp will give us an overview of this exciting stage in Earth’s evolution\, review solutions to this challenge\, and present examples of recent efforts to clean up our act. ABOUT THE SERIES: Ask a Scientist is an informative\, entertaining\, monthly lecture series\, held at a San Francisco cafe. Each event features a speaker on a scientific topic\, a short presentation\, and the opportunity to ask all those burning questions that have been keeping you up at night. No tests\, grades\, or pressure…just food\, drinks\, socializing\, and conversation about the universe’s most fascinating mysteries. http://www.askascientistSF.comADMISSION IS FREE\, but please support our generous hosts at Axis Cafe by bringing your appetite and enjoying dinner during the talk.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:An Evening with Composer/Violinist Gloria Justen
DESCRIPTION:Gloria Justen\, composer and violinist\, will present a unique program on November 14th which ranges from subtle insect rhythms to passionate virtuoso violin playing.  Original pieces for solo violin will be juxtaposed with digital sound collages played back on a multiple-speaker system.  The violin compositions alternate between soulful singing passages and abstract lines\, exploring the many sound colors which are possible on the instrument.  These pieces are deeply influenced by Justen\'s musical idols J.S. Bach and Bela Bartok.  The sound collages combine environmental field recordings\, studio-recorded instruments\, and digital processes to create evocative auditory dream trips.  As part of the program Justen will lead listeners in a few games which potentially will attune them to enhanced ways of perceiving music and our sonic environment.   Come hear this sound artist\'s work in the beautiful setting of a.Muse gallery\, surrounded by the paintings and drawings of Thao Duong and Telopa. Recently transplanted to California\, Gloria Justen performs with the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra\, the Empyrean Ensemble\, and other groups in the Bay area.  She also continues to serve as Concertmaster for the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia and to play occasionally with the Philadelphia Orchestra.  Last season she toured with the Philip Glass Ensemble to Europe\, Australia and Taiwan.  She also performs her own music in intimate settings.  Justen is an unusual combination of a classically-trained violinist in the best old-school tradition and an experimental artist who enjoys trying new approaches.  She has collaborated with modern dancers\, digital artists\, and improvisational musicians. \n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

Oliver DiCicco\'s indefinable organisms don\'t simply emulate the humming of nature\'s underbelly but directly access the mechanics of sound. His Sirens reckon the sea\'s psyche in its physical unrest and mythical meanderings. Barry Underwood\'s surreal staged photographs\, intermingling issues of contemporary painting\, cinema and land art\, surveil landscapes of the impossible. Just as earth and electricity are the elementary particles from which energy takes shape\, Underwood fuses authenticity and artifice to nurture nature into flashpoints of wonderment.Both artist and recording engineer\, Oliver DiCicco has shown at Yerba Buena Center\, the Exploratorium\, Coyote Point Museum\, Headlands Center for the Arts\, and Lincoln Center. He has collaborated with Bob Ostertag in Switzerland\, been nominated for two Grammy awards for best sound engineer\, and has worked with musical innovators\, Fred Frith\, Bill Frisell\,  Willy Nelson\, John Zorn\, The Residents\, and The Dead Kennedy’s. He is a founding member of Mobius Operandi\, a musical ensemble who has performed for the past two decades on DiCicco’s uniquely crafted instruments. Barry Underwood graduated with a BA in photography and theater from Indiana University and an MFA from Cranbook Academy of Art. His work has been shown locally  internationally: Los Angeles\, Miami\, Chicago\, Houston\, Cleveland\, New York\, Kentucky\, Canada and Basel\, Switzerland.  Underwood was Artist-in-Residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts as well as I-Park in Connecticut and Banff Center for the Arts in Alberta\, Canada. He is currently a professor at the Cleveland Institute of Art as well as head of the film\, video and photographic arts department. Show runs November 21st through January 9thOpening Reception November 21st\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Art and Copy
DESCRIPTION:ART + COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE\, SCRATCH\, HYPE!)\, it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who\'ve profoundly impacted our culture\, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising\'s \'creative revolution\' of the 1960s\, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois\, Mary Wells\, Dan Wieden\, Lee Clow\, Hal Riney and others featured in ART + COPY were responsible for \'Just Do It\,\' \'I Love NY\,\' \'Where\'s the Beef?\,\' \'Got Milk\,\' \'Think Different\,\' and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories\, TV satellites are launched\, billboards are erected\, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art\, commerce\, and human emotion. Brain storm further at www.artandcopyfilm.com. Director by Doug Pray (HYPE!\, SCRATCH)\, Executive Producers: David Baldwin\, Gregory Beauchamp\, Kirk Souder\, Mary Warlick. U.S.A.\, 2008\, \, color.

SUMMARY:Market Street Gallery presents Artist John F. Melvin
DESCRIPTION:Artist John F. Melvin is a San Francisco painter who works in the impressionistic style. Melvin\'s newest series of 15 large-scale portraits came about because of his love of painting women. To Melvin\, their grace\, form and beauty coupled with their feminine personalities create an inspiring subject for the artist.       Some of these are quite representational while others\, following in the footsteps of Matisse and Soutine\, employ facial distortion for emotional effect.     The visual impact of seeing all the works exhibited together is particularly enjoyable as each portrait has its own personality yet is influenced by all of the others nearby.

SUMMARY:ALBUM 01: In What Era Will You Get Stuck? 
DESCRIPTION:Electric Works print house and gallery will debut the premier issue of Paul Madonna\'s annual publication\, Album\, in conjunction with a solo exhibit of Madonna\'s corresponding original drawings. For the Electric Works (In What Era Will You Get Stuck?) show\, Madonna\, whose work redefines comics by combining art and literature\, rethinks the process of creating a body of work for exhibition. Album puts the book first. As the primary show object\, Album is the focus and final product\, with the art hung on the walls serving as a catalog for the book. A play on single panel cartoons\, Madonna\'s large-scale (up to 50 by 60 inches) meticulously drawn pen and ink images of 1970s and 80s childhood-era toys\, swell the poignancy of the punch line. Wanting the work to live beyond the large two-dimensional panels hung on a gallery wall\, Madonna offers the book object as portable art\, stemming from his life\'s career of zine and book-making\, and the love of the book as a tangible\, tactile art form. Transformed beyond merely a record of the exhibition\, Album is as much a conversation between the artist and reader about the impetus that led to the creation of the drawings\, as well as a document of the various completed works\, some pieces of which have been purposely destroyed\, buried under the final\, displayed version. As an artist who creates three weekly art series\, one of which is published by the San Francisco Chronicle\, Madonna created Album as a yearly publication\, in order to work on a different timetable. Inspired by his love of music and respect for a musician\'s collection of songs as a recorded document of a creative process\, and believing that the progression between albums is as valuable an indicator of the work as each individual album itself\, Madonna set out to create his version of an album\, in his preferred mediums of drawing and text. Album 01 is replete with Liner Notes\, where Paul Madonna discusses his process and approach to this premier issue. The art in this first issue of the new Album series (40pp.\, soft cover\, 9.25x12.5 inches\, list price $25)\, its conscious choice of time as a component\, and that each facet focuses on visuals conjoined with language\, not only captures the viewer\'s senses on a multiplicity of perpetually renewed levels\, but defines the characteristics of this thoughtful\, productive and meticulous artist\, giving us a glimpse into what proves to be a lifelong career of expression. Expect a collection released annually from this prolific artist\, with an arc of process and intentionality expressed over the course of years to come.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Mystical Arts of Tibet: Sacred Music Sacred Dance
DESCRIPTION:In recent years the multiphonic singers of Drepung Loseling monastery have taken the world by storm. Tibetan temple music is often known in the West as \'throat singining\,\' wherein each of the main chantmasters simultaneously intones three notes\, thus each individually creating a complete chord. The Tibetans are the only known people who cultivate this extraordinary vocal ability.  The tradition is also known as \'overtone singing\' because it is accomplished by means of learning to control the muscles of the vocal cavity and then re-shaping it while singing\, thus intensifying the natural overtones of the voice. In essence\, the body is transformed into an effective overtone amplifier.

Employing a heavy dose of optimism and a penchant for badassery\, René exploits proven gimmicks in an earnest attempt dazzle. In a culture where reproduction is easy and accessible\, René makes meticulously handcrafted work that is deliberately unique by design. His new works will include paintings\, sculpture\, and things that light up. www.renegarciajr.comBy recontextualizing and playfully subverting cliches and archetypes\, Liz Miller\'s multimedia work explores the means through which to inspire\, stimulate and entertain the mainstream.  She deals with subject matter which is recognizable and easy to like to create an intense dialogue between content and context.  Themes such as commodity\, celebrity\, food and even pets produce a humorous dialogue about consumption\, excess and paradox. Her captivating\, thought provoking images and objects are produced with sincerity but not lacking in irony. She will be exhibiting photographic pieces from the series \'Clarity\' as well as a video and sculptural installation at Project One.  www.liz-miller.net/artHaving recently celebrated its 1st anniversary\, Project 1 continues its emergence as one of San Francisco\'s favorite venues where art\, music and culture thrive. Everything is Beautiful is curated by Brooke Waterhouse and will be accompanied by several special events.

SUMMARY:Saving Civilization Is Not A Spectator Sport
DESCRIPTION:Saving Civilization Is Not A Spectator Sport    Lester Brown\, President\, Earth Policy Institute    Brown sees concern in the merging of world food and energy economies. Putting corn ethanol in gas tanks and grain-intensive food (beef) into more human bellies will drive up commodity prices and exacerbate fresh water scarcity. Though he believes the Earth is under stress\, Brown is hopeful\, in part because for the first time since the Industrial Revolution we have begun investing in energy sources that can last forever. Brown also will comment on how the melting glaciers of Tibet could affect the price of a bagel in California.

SUMMARY:San Francisco International Animation Festival
DESCRIPTION:November 11–15\, 2009Landmark\'s Embarcadero Center CinemaOne of the most fertile practices in contemporary film and television\, animation occupies a unique space between artistic\, experimental\, commercial and industrial media. The five-day San Francisco International Animation Festival celebrates San Francisco’s prominence as a hub for one of the most creative cinematic forms.Opening NightCelebrate opening night with filmmakers in attendance. Buy a ticket to either the 7:00 pm or 9:30 pm screening of Wes Anderson’s newest feature Fantastic Mr. Fox and join us either before or after your screening for a the Opening Night party.

George Clooney brings Mr. Fox to life with nimble character voicing\, aided by a heavy-hitting cast.The BreakdownAnimation is especially suited to analysis of all sorts. It probes bodies\, investigates movement and questions nature. Animation breaks down the world\, love and desire. . . and ultimately the unconscious.A Town Called PanicStéphane Aubier\, Vincent Patar (Panique au village\, Belgium/France/Luxembourg 2009)This delightful film focuses on a town populated by a random assortment of plastic figurines whose daily activities recall children’s illogical narratives in their herky-jerky disjointedness\, celebration of the quotidian and profound brilliance.

These short animated films describe the humor\, confusion\, anxiety and poignancy of the many places we encounter\, often in the most exceptional ways. MetropiaTarik Saleh (Sweden 2009)In a bleakly beautiful 2024\, call-center drone Roger Olafson (Vincent Gallo) begins hearing a voice inside his head that leads him to step out of his dull routine and into a world of would-be espionage.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:An evening with Penny Arcade
DESCRIPTION:Legendary cultural icon and performance artist Penny Arcade makes a rare appearance at City Lightscelebrating the release ofBad Reputation:Performances\, Essays\, InterviewsIntroduction by Ken Bernardfrom Semiotext(e)    A runaway at thirteen\, a reform-school graduate at sixteen\, a performer in the legendary New York City Playhouse of the Ridiculous at seventeen\, and an escapee from Andy Warhol\'s Factory scene at nineteen\, Penny Arcade (born Susanna Ventura) emerged in the 1980s as a primal force on the New York art scene and an originator of what came to be called performance art. Arcade\'s brand of high camp and street-smart\, punk-rock cabaret showmanship has been winning over international audiences ever since. This autobiographical trilogy of plays represents her at her best.    Bitch!Dyke!Faghag!Whore!\, is Penny Arcade\'s raucous\, cutting-edge sex and censorship show\, (which continues to be a commercial hit around the world)\, featuring the daily life of a receptionist in a brothel\, the upbringing and rearing of a \'faghag\,\' the evolution of the New York gay scene in the 1990s\, and a participatory \'audience dance break.\' The funny and heart-rending title work\, Bad Reputation\, portrays a young teen runaway\'s coming of age in a Catholic reform school (run by nuns who are former fashion models) and her subsequent life on the streets of 1960s New York. La Miseria\, a rare depiction of working-class Italian-Americans from a woman\'s point of view that portrays the clash between working-class morals and compassion during the 1980s AIDS epidemic\, rounds out the trilogy.    Bad Reputation is the first book by and on Penny Arcade. The complete scripts are accompanied by a new interview with Penny Arcade by Chris Kraus\, a range of archival photographs of the East Village scene and Arcade\'s performances\, an introduction by playwright Ken Bernard\, and contributions by Sarah Schulman\, Steve Zehentner\, and Stephen Bottoms.    Penny Arcade (Susana Ventura) is a cultural icon of the New York Underground. She is an international performance artist and a writer of essays\, poetry\, and theater.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Beachside Bohemia: Carville-by-the-Sea and the Birth of the Outer Sunset District
DESCRIPTION:A San Francisco Museum and Historical Society event cosponsored by the Western Neighborhoods Project.Author and historian Woody LaBounty will showcase one of the quirkiest and least-remembered communities in San Francisco\'s history. \'Carville-by-the-Sea\' flowered as an 1890s beach retreat on the sand dunes south of Golden Gate Park when bohemians\, judges\, lady bicyclists\, and sand-bath prescribing physicians transformed old transit cars into cottages and clubhouses. Creative carpenters stacked obsolete horse cars\, cable cars\, and trolley cars into mansions and churches. Famous capitalists\, writers\, painters and journalists visited Carville to work\, play\, and enjoy what was touted as the \'oddest village in the world.\'Admission is free to SFMHS and WNP members. Admission for non-members is $5. Parking is available at the JCC for $5. The JCC is served by MUNI Lines #1 California; #2 Clement; #3 Jackson\, and #43 Masonic.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Justin Quinn: \'Keep Out This Frost\'
DESCRIPTION:Cain Schulte Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the opening of their exhibition of new works on paper by Justin Quinn.  Quinn translates his personal obsessions into exquisitely subtle artwork that explores\, amplifies\, and ultimately celebrates\, the single element\, the ordinary\, and the repetitive. This is Justin Quinn’s second solo show with Cain Schulte.Justin Quinn continues to explore the distance between reading and seeing through the use of the letter E.   This letter has become a surrogate for all letters in the alphabet\, presenting a universal yet unreadable language.  By transcribing Herman Melville’s epic Moby Dick into this simplified system\, we see the transformation of a classic text into strings of letterforms that are at once majestic and impulsive. Using specific chapters as sources for the works transforms Melville’s writings into labyrinthine and spiraling compositions that call to mind Captain Ahab’s monomaniacal quest for the White Whale.Since 1998 Quinn has been exploring this space through the use of letterforms\, and has used the letter E as his primary starting point. Since 1999\, Quinn\'s works on paper have been included in over eighty exhibitions\, both national and international.  His teaching\, his exhibitions\, and his role as a moderator and panelist at national conferences currently make Quinn one of the most brilliant figures in printmaking.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:RAW
DESCRIPTION:ROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second Saturday November 2009RAWAn exhibition of new Bay Area sculpture and installation Curated by John K. Melvin SAN FRANCISCO\, CA – Root Division is proud to present our November Second Saturday event\, an exhibition of new Bay Area sculpture and installation\, guest-curated by local artist and curator John K. Melvin.  The work in RAW has a distinct materiality\, and each of the artists is uniquely aware of its presence.  Whether assembled from found objects or crafted from items not typically associated with fine art\, the sculptures and installations featured in this show work to declaim the fundamental appeal of objectness. Artists like Colby Claycomb and Brandon Truscott evoke their own personal narratives by exploiting the built-in meaning of used materials.  Others\, like Barry Beach\, John K. Melvin\, and Kit Rosenberg take a more detached approach\, boiling down a conceptual premise to its most essential material elements.  But regardless of how each artist approaches their work\, there is a shared enthusiasm to maintain the integrity of the chosen medium.

SUMMARY:Eternal Beauty Rest by Jason Vivona
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Six is proud to present ETERNAL BEAUTY REST: the observation and classification of phantasmal specters and the interdimensional experience by Jason Vivona. This exhibition showcases more than sixty original drawings\, paintings\, masks\, and mixed media works. Please join us for the opening reception on Friday\, November 13th 2009\, from 7-11pm at 66 Sixth St in San Francisco. The art of Jason Vivona presents a combination of abstract expressionism\, skate-punk culture\, and design. An emphasis on spontaneity serves as a platform for surrealist work with unexpected juxtapositions. Initially unidentifiable visual elements meld to create cohesive\, realized images that are often laced with cultural reference and satirism. Incorporating a diverse array of mediums including latex\, aerosol\, gouache\, ink\, and even tea or wine\, Vivona creates complex and beautiful works on paper. Bright\, vibrant colors explode with random drips and variations\, other times with deliberate appearance using stencil and print making techniques.Jason Vivona is a gypsy\, folk artist living in Northern California. He’s had solo exhibitions at Syracuse University and Homestar Modern in Portland\, OR\, as well as group shows at 111 MINNA in San Francisco\, The Museum of New Art in Detroit\, and Vitale Gallery in Florida to name a few. His work has been published in Juxtapoz\, Transworld Skateboarding\, WARP\, DIW\, Skyscraper and RELAX Magazines.Please join us for the opening reception of ETERNAL BEAUTY REST new works by Jason Vivona on Friday\, November 13th 2009\, from 7-11pm.

SUMMARY:Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison  Green House Britain 
DESCRIPTION:The Kala Art Institute is extremely honored to welcome Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison to the Kala Gallery with a major exhibition of their work titled Green House Britain.  For nearly forty years\, the collaborative team of Newton and Helen Mayer Harrison has been internationally respected as visionary pioneers of the eco-art movement. Often referred to simply as “The Harrisons”\, the pair has worked closely with biologists\, ecologists\, architects and urban planners to explore ideas and solutions that support both biodiversity and community development. The Harrison\'s expansive practice embraces a range of disciplines that often casts them in the roles of historians\, diplomats\, ecologists\, investigators\, emissaries and art activists. Presented in an art-viewing context\, The Harrisons’ works features extensive mapping\, text panels\, models\, digital animations andaudio-visual presentations.  Far from dryly didactic\, their impassioned works serve as both a meditation on global ecology and also as a futuristic vision for environmental change and recovery. The Harrisons’ previous projects have focused on watershed restoration\, urban renewal\, agriculture and forestry issues among others. Global warming has been a central concern in their work since 1974\, placing the team years ahead of the curve regarding environmental issues. Their boldly visionary projects have often led to changes in governmental policy and have expanded dialogue around previously unexplored issues leading to practical implementations throughout the United States and Europe. \n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Devine\'s Jug Band CD Release show with Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Jug Band
DESCRIPTION:A humble slice of Americana gets a bracing jolt of contemporary energy with “Terrible Operation Blues\,” the dazzling debut of Devine’s Jug Band\, a San Francisco ensemble wise to the ways of the weird old Southwest. Launched by vocalist and jug master Pete Devine\, who earned his old-time stripes as drummer in the revered ragtime band Bo Grumpus\, DJB features fiddler/vocalist Mayumi Urgino\, guitarist/vocalist Meredith Axelrod and a rotating cast of string experts with guest Tommy Marion (R. Crumb’s Cheap Suit Serenaders) on a program of salty blues\, sassy stomps\, and raucous rags. This is party music for hard times\, which is to say it sounds more relevant than ever.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Umka & Bro\, Mark Matos & Os Beaches album release
DESCRIPTION:Umka:Recorded at San Francisco’s Closer Studios in May 2009\, this limited edition LP by the veteran\, post-Soviet underground band Umka & Bro features striking new versions of 10 songs spanning two decades. Umka (Russian slang for ‘clever girl’) started writing songs in the 80’s. After making some early recordings she took a break to finish her Ph.D. in early Soviet avant-garde poetry. Umka’s cassettes spread widely\, and upon returning to music\, she found herself an instant and slightly bewildered celebrity. Her list of influences grew to include Rolling Stones\, Grateful Dead\, Iggy Pop\, Bob Dylan and others. After releasing nearly 20 CDs (most of them DIY) with her band Bronevichok (Little Armored Car). Mark Matos:A brilliant flash of southwestern pop-psych shines off the bay with the release of \'Words Of The Kife\'\, the first slice from a group of San Francisco veterans who might be insulted if you call it a debut. Like the neighborhood the band calls home\, \'Words Of The Knife\' is a record of hybrid bloodlines. Tucson flavored pop songs meld with the sun baked chords and beats of 70s tropicalia and sleepwalk through mirrored and smoky 1970s rock venues. Every genre that emerges here is shredded and combined for you by Mark Matos & Os Beaches.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:MESS (Media Ecology Soul Salon) with ROBERT DOBBS 
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Nov 19 at 8pm\, free admission at New Nothing Cinema\, 16 Sherman St (off Folsom between 6th & 7th)\, SF\, CA 94103\,  MESS (Media Ecology Soul Salon) with ROBERT DOBBS - The public is invited to this engaging dialogue with Robert Dobbs (live via video-phone Skype)\, and Gerry Fialka & the audience (live in the venue). New Media and experimental filmmaking\'s interrelationships with Marshall McLuhan and James Joyce will be probed as Menippean reinventions of the global theater. Dobbs & Fialka delve deep into film as art\, abstract cinema\, lyrical filmmaking\, internet\, cellphones\, twitter\, Second Life\, and much more.  Percept plunder for the recent future. \'Joyce\'s FINNEGANS WAKE is an encyclopedia of lore concerning the origins and effects of words\, of writing\, of roads and bricks\, of telegraph\, radio\, and television on the changing hues of the human spectrum... In fact\, FINNEGANS WAKE is the greatest guide to the media ever devised on this planet\, and is a tremendous study of the action of all media upon the human psyche and sensorium.\' - McLuhan. ROBERT DOBBS\, poet and politician\, is a provocative lecturer on Joyce and McLuhan. His seminal knowledge of new media and avant-garde cinema has developed through encounters with innovators from Michael Snow to Craig Baldwin\, Frank Zappa to Sylvere Lotringer\, Nam June Paik to Andy Warhol\, Stan Brakhage to Yoko Ono\, Bucky Fuller to Captain Beefheart\, and Tim Leary to Robert Anton Wilson. DOBBS performed at the McLuhan International Festival of the Future in Toronto\, and his appearances at Columbia University\, University of Toronto\, among others\, have generated fresh new insights and new metaphors.The best presentation of Dobbs\' work is his book\, PHATIC COMMUNION WITH BOB DOBBS. Today\, he travels the world explaining our victory over the Android Meme\, and the tracings of these activities are featured at http://www.fivebodied.com    The LA Times has called Fialka \'the multi-media Renaissance man”\, and the LA Weekly\, a \'cultural revolutionary.\'  His public interview MESS series finally travels to the Bay Area. \'Gerry Fialka is the Studs Turkel of Venice\, California - nurturing active participation for common ground.\' - Michelle Raven\, writer/producer\, Discovery Channel. \'(Fialka is a) Los Angeles-based independent media hero.\'- Holly Willis. \'Fialka\'s cool questions are right at the heart of all my work. By far the best interview I\'ve ever been treated to.\' - Ondi Timoner\, only two time Sundance Grand Jury winner. \'Fialka\'s interviews are more gratifying than one could imagine\, exploring ideas that don\'t normally get discussed. With his MESS (Media Ecology Soul Salon) series\, a cumulative effect emerges as each progressive interview builds upon and enhances the previous ones. His diligent efforts examine the impulses that motivate people. The secret to good conversation lies in the questions\, and Fialka\'s questions are an art form.\' - William McNally\, Activist/AuthorIn his book \'I\, Fellini\,\' Federico Fellini wrote\, \'I don\'t mind speaking autobiographically because I reveal less of myself talking about my real life than I do if I talk about the layer underneath\, the one of my fantasies\, dreams and imagination.\' MESS peers into the portals of discovering this layer. MESS seeks what lies beyond this layer.Participants -- including writers\, artists\, filmmakers\, musicians and activists -- are the early radar systems and rear-view mirrors detecting how major transformations in technology affect us. As we live in a MESS-age\, this interactive series shakes people out of their regular agendas and reality tunnels. MESS promotes mapmakers who search for new lands and new data. MESS seeks meticulous understanding of every thing we see\, hear \, feel\, taste\, and smell\, passionately needling the somnambulists and proving that learning can and must be fun. As McLuhan asked\, \'How are you to argue with people who insist on sticking their heads in the in visible teeth of technology\, calling the whole thing freedom?\' \'Technologies are not mere exterior ads\,\' said Walter Ong\, \'but also interior transformations of consciousness.\' And\, in his book Immediatism\, Hakim Bey observed\, \'Simply to meet face-to-face is already an action against the forces that oppress us by isolation\, by loneliness\, by the trance of media.\'\'If it works\, it\'s obsolete.\' -- McLuhan. \'Another fine MESS.\' - - Random Lengths News.- - - - - - -\'Gerry Fialka\'s MESS series is a unique opportunity to meet special artists in a unique\, intimate and revealing setting. His intelligence and dedication to research leads to a stimulating and highly interactive interview that is both entertaining and amazingly enlightening.\' - Phil Proctor of the \'Firesign Theatre\'\'Gerry Fialka is very special\, well prepared and ready to take risks - I learned about my self! My kind of interviewer. \' -Martin Perlich\, author THE ART OF THE INTERVIEW\'Gerry Fialka is willing to enter in new discussions even if they go against his current views. Fialka\'s multilayered delivery of ideas encourages the search for new questions and new paradigms that extend beyond. He is well-informed\, off-beat and articulate - one of the most fascinating people I\'ve met.\' - Keith Jeffries\, Ascalon Films\'What a great interview Fialka conducted with me. He made it so easy. There used to be people on TV who conducted interviews in depth\, though few as good as Fialka. Tom Snyder was the last.\' - Orson Bean\'Fialka is a Zen master of media shuffling your mind with McLuhanisms\, and stacking the deck with fresh insights into our culture.\' - David Selsky\, Independent Film Programmer &author of \'Worlds of Silence\'\'Gerry Fialka is a wonderful host\, able to create a joyful relaxing and concentrated atmosphere. During the Q&A he showed himself as a very eloquent critic asking deep and serious questions- always with humor\, knowledge and full of energy.\' - Ine Poppe\, Professor at the Willem de Kooning Art Academy\, Amsterdam\'I am very impressed by Gerry Fialka\'s energy in bringing together groups of people to think about ideas. That is very much in the McLuhan spirit\, to create and foster interdisciplinary\, living\, educational projects in which people can talk about ideas. [Fialka] creates forums that bring together a plurality of critical perspectives into one multivalent conversation. \' - Janine Marchessault\, author of MARSHALL McLUHAN:COSMIC MEDIA.\'When I participated in Fialka\'s MESS\, he created a unique through-space kind of meditation. This collective free high fires up the ability/consciousness of not judging. It makes a gap between saying and meaning leaving a lot of room for interpretation. Really amazing event.\' - Marc Herbst\, editor-Journal of Aesthetics and Protest.\'Fialka\'s MESS interview series is a fascinating evening with stimulating questions and approaches. I surely enjoyed the depth of the arena and a chance to pontificate on questions of the spirit in a relaxed scenario and free speech surrounding.\' - Lady Lord Buckley\'Gerry’s interview with me was like hypnotherapy without the snapping of the fingers to bring you back. I really felt good after that.\' - Lucky Otis\, grandson of Johnny Otis and son of Shuggie Otis & the GTO’s Miss Mercy- - - - - -\'The confusion is not my invention...It is all around us and our only chance is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess.\' -Samuel Beckett.  \n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Charles Fox \'Movement\'
DESCRIPTION:Fox stopped making photographs thirty years ago when he was legally blinded and disabled by MS. Since the mid-70s the negatives in this exhibition were haphazardly stored in the writer’s studio until a photographer came to work with Fox as a caregiver.The photographs have an unreal quality: horses inside houses\, children at play by the sea\, in the desert\, apparently on the moon. There is energy in these photographs rarely found in still photography. “To catch movement is to capture life.”\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Do Not Go Gently: The Biology of Aging
DESCRIPTION:Aging poses a fascinating intellectual puzzle. Why does the cellular machinery that works so well early in our lives start to fail as we age? Different organisms have wildly different lifespans\, suggesting that it isn\'t a simple wear and tear.    Practically speaking\, chronological age is the greatest risk factor for many life-threatening illnesses: cancers\, Alzheimer\'s\, diabetes\, heart disease\, stroke\, and others. By studying the fundamental mechanisms of aging\, we might learn how to treat all age-related diseases simultaneously.     Join Chris Patil\, post doctoral research fellow at the Buck Institute for Age Research\, in a frank discussion on a new field of science: the biology of aging.

SUMMARY:Gallery Three Presents: Fanee 
DESCRIPTION: Presents: \'Sweatin\' to tha Oldies\'New Works By FaneeOpening: Saturday\, December 12th 2009 from 7-11pmShow Runs Through: January 2nd 2010Gallery Three is proud to present \'Sweatin\' to tha Oldies\' by Fanee. This collection of new works uses sexual imagery to represent romantic\, but still naughty mentalities of a somewhat juvenile teen. Please join us at Gallery Three for the opening reception of \'Sweatin\' to tha Oldies\,\' December 12th\, 2009 from 7-11pm.Fanee’s subject matter deals with the many fundamentals of naive love\, dating and “sweatin” over various infatuations. This exhibit boldly showcases Fanee’s provocative vision of female sexuality in society.  She uses inner conflicts to explore the fine line between passion and delirium. Her characters take on different personas of clown-faced women\, tattooed up\, dressed in costume\, and jeweled to the max. Shadowed by twisted song lyrics and provocative poses\, her characters entrance the viewer by revealing their vulnerability.This collection incorporates mixed media works creating a hybrid of drawing and painting on magazine paper. The premise of each piece begins with an image ripped from a kinky porn magazine. Fanee outlines her subjects with pen and pencil\, adding and subtracting from the original image. She uses white oil-based markers and colored paint to add contrast and subtle pigments to the page.A native of the Midwest\, Fanee moved to New York City to begin her art education at Parsons The New School for Design. From there\, she returned to her Midwest roots and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). After a six-year tenure in Chicago\, she relocated to San Francisco to further her passion and her artistic career.\'Sweatin\' to tha Oldies\' will be Fanee’s second solo exhibit at Gallery Three. Her new works are provocative\, arousing and guaranteed entertainment. Please join us for the opening reception of \'Sweatin\' to tha Oldies\,\' by Fanee at Gallery Three on December 12th 2009\, from 7-11pm. This exhibition runs through January 2nd 2010\, and is open to the public.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site

SUMMARY:Shooting Gallery Presents: Travis Louie 
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Saturday\, December 12th 2009 from 7-11pmShow Runs Through: January 2nd 2010The Shooting Gallery is proud to present “Lifetime Companions” new works by Travis Louie. This will mark Louie’s first major solo show at The Shooting Gallery with fifteen intimate portraits. Please join us for the opening reception of “Lifetime Companions” on Saturday\, December 12th 2009\, from 7-11 pm.Travis Louie’s portraits are develop from another time and reality. They entice the viewers bringing them a step closer to the imagination of a man whose stories are as wondrous as his paintings. Referencing bits of particular moments\, journal entries and obscure facts; Louie creates haunting dreamlike creatures. Dressed in pea coats\, top hats and other Victorian fashions the otherworldly beings possess odd human characteristics. Some of their origins are a complete mystery while others are hinted at. A man is cursed by a goat\, an engine driver can’t seem to stop vibrating in his sleep\, a man overcomes his phobia of spiders\, or a groomsman’s head mysteriously shrinks on his wedding day. In this particular collection\, most of the paintings are family portraits of people attending weddings and formal events.The visual style of Travis Louie’s work is strongly influenced by the lighting and atmosphere of German Expressionist and Film Noir motion pictures from the Silent Era to the late 1950’s. Films from directors like F W Murnau\, Fritz Lang\, Orson Welles\, Robert Siodmak\, Robert Aldrich\, Jacque Tourneur\, and cinematographer\, Greg Toland\, had a great effect on the way he wanted his paintings to look. To achieve the dramatic “mood” he sets for his paintings\, the works are produced primarily in black and white or limited color. He uses acrylic paints over tight graphite drawings on smooth grounds\, such as “plate” finish illustration board or finely sanded\, primed wood panels. When he is not painting\, his time is spent writing in his notebooks and journals. Many little drawings and sketches are made from those writings\, most of which are less than ten centimeters square.Please join us for the opening reception of “Lifetime Companions” on Saturday\, December 12th 2009\, from 7-11pm. This event runs through January 2nd 2010\, and is open to the public.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site
