She has worked on numerous public art projects for the San Francisco Arts Commission, Bay Area Rapid Transit, and other City agencies. She has over 20 years’ experience in public art planning, project management, contract administration and producing public art ordinances and program guidelines.

She has specialized experience and interest in art in transit programs. Michael Arcega Michael Arcega is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Though visual, his art revolves largely around language. Directly informed by Historic events, material significance, and the format of jokes, his subject matter deals with sociopolitical circumstances where power relations are unbalanced. As a naturalized American, there is a geographic dimension to Michael’s investigation of cultural markers. These markers are embedded in objects, food, architecture, visual lexicons, and vernacular languages. For instance, vernacular Tagalog, is infused with Spanish and English words, lending itself to verbal mutation. This malleability result in wordplay and jokes that transform words like Persuading to First wedding, Tenacious to Tennis Shoes, Devastation to The Bus Station, and Masturbation to Mass Starvation. His practice draws from the sensibility

For more than 30 years Bruguera has worked at the intersection of activism and performance art to address structures of power, devise new utopian models of authority, and create alternative structures that aim to transform and redistribute power. This has resulted in art projects that take the form of social movements, newspapers, and schools—and even Bruguera’s own provocative self-nomination for the 2018 Cuban presidential election. Organized by YBCA and curated by Lucía Sanromán, director of visual ​ ​ arts, and Susie Kantor, curatorial associate, Tania Bruguera: Talking to Power / ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hablándole al Poder will present together for the first time Bruguera’s long-term ​ projects initiated between 1985 and 2017 that have sought to transform the ​ emotional and symbolic affect of art into political effectiveness.

  • STAFF REPORT DATE: July 17, 2013 TO: Honorable Members of The
    STAFF REPORT DATE: July 17, 2013 TO: Honorable Members of the Visual Arts Committee FROM: Zoë Taleporos RE: Artist Selection Panelists Our current procedure for selecting arts professionals for public art selection panels is to seek approval from the Arts Commission of a group of individuals on a per-project basis. The intent was to match the expertise of arts professionals with each particular public art opportunity. The proposed procedural change to selecting arts professionals as panelists is to create one large pool with an array of individuals with varying cultural emphasis from a range of art institutions. Public Art staff will draw from this pool for all selection panels in the Fiscal Year 2013/14. This will eliminate the need to repeatedly agenize the approval of panelists on the Visual Arts Committee (VAC) agenda and will reduce staff administration time. If Public Art Staff would like to add an arts professional to the pool, s/he may do so at any time. Additional arts professionals will presented to the VAC for approval.

Born in Yokohama, Japan, she was raised in São Art Annex, Room 107 Paulo, Brazil, earned an MFA from Yale, and now lives in Brooklyn. On small wood panels or large draped sheets of mulberry paper, Fueki’s paintings are embellished with bright dots of color, recalling appliquéd textiles or jewel boxes. These shimmering fields give the works a sensuous, intoxicating delight of the sort more often associated with decoration than with thoughtful contemporary painting. Under the bejeweled surfaces, though, lurk traditional landscape motifs, doubled and redoubled, sug- gesting Rorschach tests or the ambiguously infinite view in a hall of mirrors.”-Laura Newman Bomb Magazine 2002 Joby Barron (MFA 2010), Chasing Justice Nov. 19, 2015 - Inspired by the biblical exhortation of Deuteronomy (16:20) to “pursue justice and justice alone,” the Contemporary Feb. 21, 2016 Jewish Museum’s new exhibit ”Chasing Justice” features the work of Arnold Mesches, Johanna (Joby) Bar- Contemporary Jewish ron (MFA 2010), and Robbin Henderson, three artists of Jewish heritage who have, through activism, research, Museum and engagement with the government, produced bodies of work that explore different approaches to this Jewish San Francisco, CA commitment.

  • A Distinct Itinerary in Space and Time Invites You to Explore Kadist’S Programs
    A guidebook offering an exploration of Kadist’s programs, this polyphonic collection of writings describes the institu- tion’s way of working and its collaborative approach. KADIST A Distinct I tinerary in Space and Time Dear Reader, KADIST A Distinct Itinerary in Space and Time invites you to explore Kadist’s programs. In conceiving this volume, we had in mind a guidebook that would offer a jour- ney into Kadist’s projects and its collaborative approaches. The aim is not to present a comprehensive archive, as our website does, but instead to collect a multiplicity of voices who have participated in the making of the organization and who speak from personal points of view: founders, advisors, team members, artists, and curators we have been working with since Kadist’s inception in 2001. This polyphonic collection of writings describes our way of working, conveying something of the fragile intimacy hidden behind the construction of an institution. From these voices, a multitude of facets appear, reflecting the contingen- cies, the questions, and the discussions inherent to the life of the organization. Traversing the space and the time of the book, Kadist’s mission statement runs throughout—a word every two pages—which you can read almost as a score or a flip-book. It is accompanied by a series of exhibition views, creating a visual timeline of Kadist’s exhibition history, each image documenting one Kadist project that took place in Paris, San Francisco, or elsewhere. The mission statement also determines the order of appearance of the contributions: its four sentences structure the four sections of the book, each one addressing Kadist through a specific angle: the organization, the collection, international programs, and local and online programs.
