SFAQ is both a newspaper and calendar that presents the public with a quarterly update on art community events, offering insight into the current and future state of a variety of arts throughout the city.
The SFAQ calendar is a user friendly guide that contains a pullout San Francisco MUNI map along with a compilation of the various venues and spaces within San Francisco. The calendar will include a listing of openings, public events, performances, festivals, screenings, and releases featured at various educational facilities, museums, established galleries, non-profit organizations, theaters, music halls, and more with an emphasis on alternative venues and up and coming The San Francisco Arts Quarterly spaces/galleries. SFAQ's calendar will expand individuals' artistic perspective in San Francisco SFSFIssueSF 1: April.MayAAAQ.June.2010QQ and facilitate their connection to the various events that are happening throughout the city. We wish to provide every artist with the opportunity to make their exhibition, project, or perfor- mance more readily available to the public. T his helps inspire and support the citizens of San Francisco to continue practicing their various artistic endeavors, further enveloping San Francisco with the gift of creativity.
The San Francisco Arts Quarterly will direct a dialogue with a highlighted neighborhood in San Francisco, rotating to different areas of the city with every issue. Each edition will consist of interviews with individuals and collectives who are showing an interest in the advancement of the San Francisco arts community and thus helping to further stimulate the city's progressive nature. By opening a conversation between the district of focus and the rest of San Francisco, individuals will be provided with an in-depth look into the various districts of San Francisco's multi-faceted arts community. T he publication is designed to inspire people to discover and explore areas of San Francisco that they may not typically experience, with the intention of unifying the varied areas of San Francisco into one comprehensive artistic whole, extending throughout the city.
Enjoy.

The San Francisco Art Institute, San Franciscos premier art school, is nearly140 years old. Over its long and storied history, the Art School as Emily Carr, Canadas greatest painter called it, occupies a unique place in the life of the city and the country as a whole. At once a college and a cultural institution, the San Francisco Art Institute has fostered generations of leaders, the artists, thinkers and innovators who have given us the ideas and images of their age. It continues to do so with remarkable consistency, particularly for an institution of this size. The unbroken effort to grasp contemporary art, in whatever form it emerges, has become for the school a sustained and powerful engagement with the contemporary moment itself.
If we return to two historic moments, the 1870s and the mid-1940s, to those who founded the school and to those who led it through the immediate post-war period, we find that their collective work was framed by broad questions about the role and nature of the institution and its relevance to a period of widespread social transformation. This strategic and historic focus was the necessary precondition for what became periods of true institutional greatness.
SFAI was founded at a moment when the city itself was claiming a place of national prominence as an economic, political, and cultural center. The roster of business people and civic leaders who founded the San Francisco Art As- sociation in 1871 did so not because of some vague aspiration to civilize the city, but because of the real demands of development. The western part of the continent was real in the sense of being a location, but it only became “the West” as a result of images and ideas. San Francisco could claim itself as the capital of this new world precisely because of its ability to produce compelling representations of it. It is instructive in this regard that the first honorary member of the Art Association was Albert Bierstadt, whose monumental Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountain landscapes sparked widespread interest in travel to California. The ongoing preoccupation with landscape, and later, images of technological progress, whether represented in paintings or in the then new media of film and photography, told the country and the world that here was real opportunity. That attention to specificity of place and progress, arguably essential attributes of the city’s success, became the special contribution of the school.
Almost 75 years later in the wake of the World War II, Douglas MacAgy was appointed director of the school and over the next three years ag- gressively reshaped the Institute to represent the American avant-garde. It is by now well-known that the efforts to promote a native modernism were also efforts to shift cultural dominance from Europe to the United States. These efforts were tied to the United States’ rise as a superpower and later to the cold war. In the case of SFAI, when MacAgy insisted that the Rivera fresco at the school be covered with a curtain, it was for “aesthetic” reasons, as a militant for abstraction, but it had nevertheless a political content. He and those that he hired, including Clyfford Still, Ansel Adams and Mark Rothko, were the most advanced artists of the day, but they were also polemicists in the cause of a universal art. Here you have a strategic restatement of the school, the result of which was what once was a regional institution could now lay indisputable claim to national importance. It was a claim that long-outlived the tenure of MacAgy himself and came to underwrite the school’s subsequent half-century.
But this is a rather too mechanistic view of the Art Institute’s complex history. The move from regional to national institution was hardly linear. Possible futures are always present, if latent and hidden, in the past, and it is clear that there was always a powerful international reach to the school. This other history would begin with the fact that from its earliest days the school sought international visitors, faculty and trained interna- tional students: English photographer Eadweard Muybridge presents a lecture demonstrating the zoopraxiscope, widely considered to be the first public exhibition of a movie (1880); Emily Carr attends (1890-93), returns to Canada and becomes an influential figure in the modern movement of that country, and Vancouver College of Art is renamed the Emily Carr College of Art (1978); Diego Rivera paints one of his first frescoes in the United States, The Making of a Fresco Showing the Building of a City (1931), in the school’s gallery; and Henry Kiyama travels from Japan to attend

The Four Immigrants Manga (1931), a work that is now understood as the founding moment of contemporary manga. This history would also de- tail the long record of partnerships with a specific international content: the Panama Pacific International Exhibition (1915); the Western Roundta- ble of Art (1949); an ambitious China project undertaken in the 1980’s; and more recent exchanges with the Instituto Superior del Arte de Cuba, Havana, Cuba, and the Ruskin School at Oxford University. With this change in emphasis, SFAI’s always-present engagement with the global comes into focus, revealing the importance of its place in a changing world over the last century and a half.
The new world in which we find ourselves is a world of changed spatial relationships, one where local and global are inextricably linked. The objects we use, the people we work with, the systems we depend upon are all situated at one and the same time here and there, as the Bay Area and the wider world. This then is a world of new spaces, and it challenges us to reconsider what art is and what it is that artists do. Moving beyond a conception of culture as tied to national, ethnic and racial identities, we are now challenged to rethink it through new and pervasive ex- periences, including those of people who are stateless, flexible citizens who live between multiple locations, and other diasporic, essentially mobile populations.
The San Francisco Art Institute now boasts students from over 24 countries, including recently, China, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Nepal, Fiji, Sen- egal, Brazil, Chile, and Iceland. For SFAI, the true global diversity of its students has meant a new emphasis on the content of the curriculum, as not only about the different methods and outcomes for making art, but also about the relationship of art to a broad range of other ways of thinking, including philosophy, cultural studies, art history, media theory, writing and criticism, science and technology. At the same time, the school remains keenly attentive to the complex negotiations between the artist, the work of art and the society. Key to this is the understanding that cultures are heterogeneous and diverse, larger than the art world and its institutions, larger than the claims of one group or one country. Again, the schools curriculum addresses this complexity by introducing students to working within a broad comparative framework, one that addresses commonali- ties and differences across cultures and histories.
In a very real sense SFAI’s historic center on Chestnut Street is now part of an expanded campus. Through the use of new technology, new academic partnerships, and programmatic initiatives, SFAI offers students the opportunity to work on global projects with peers from around the world. Students and faculty are now working with colleagues at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne to develop graduate-level digital course- ware that will allow real-time digital collaborations for research and creation between artists and students. In China, with Luxun Academy of Fine Arts, Shenyang and Dalien, SFAI created a joint MFA program for emerging Chinese and American artists. The program includes a “gateway” class taught by SFAI faculty in Shenyang, and a class taught by Luxun faculty at SFAI. Likewise, the Art Institute is working with the Universidad Na- cional Autónoma de México (UNAM); the Centro Nacional de las Artes (CENART), both in Mexico City, and the Office of the Consul General of Mexico in San Francisco on a series of projects related to the 2010 bicentennial celebration of Mexico’s independence. Offerings at SFAI will include a symposium, visiting artists and scholars, and an exhibition of contemporary art.
Here, then, the work of the institution – the San Francisco Art Institute’s commitment to diverse expressions within an overarching framework of collaboration and community -- is a useful and profound idea of how we might think about not just art, but about society as a whole. Throughout its history, SFAI has supported the individual integrity of artists and scholars from all backgrounds in the production of works in widely varied forms. This idea is nothing if not relevant today. It is one very compelling version of what a global civil society might look like and how through creative work we might achieve it.
43 So for the people who don’t know what Fecal Face (dot) com is please explain. Fecal Face is an art website that I’ve been doing for almost 10 years now. It features work that the contributors and I are into, focusing mainly on San Francisco, NYC and LA. When and how did Fecal Face start, and where do you see it going in the near future? It was a zine that I made years before it went online in 2000. It’s all been one happy accident... Where it’s going? I have no idea in the grand sense, but specifically it’s taking me on an all expenses paid trip to Sydney in March to speak at Semi Permanent, which is pretty cool. (semipermanent.com) In a few words, can you describe the Face Face attitude? I’m sure it’s morphed many times over the years, but many of the early contributors including myself grew up skateboarding which affected the overall visual perspective in the first 5 or so years. Now we’re on the 10th year and overall the attitude has been discovering exciting work that’s both highly developed in its execution but also dynamic, thoughtful and sincere. What is the philosophy that envelops Fecal Face and it’s artists? Doing what you love, following your vision and making it work out. How is Fecal Face developing into an international entity? Are you doing it alone or is there a Fecal Face team? There are a lot of people who have contributed over the years. We always feature a rotating group of people situated in cities around the world linked together over some undefined bond... oh wait, I guess that would be wires and telecommunication cables. Can you tell us about Fecal Face’s San Francisco Gallery space, and how it operates in conjunction with the Fecal Face website?
44 It’s a small little place where we get to feature some of the work we enjoy looking at online. The Internet is great for exploring new kinds of work, but nothing compares to viewing work in person. We also serve Tecates, which taste nice. Fecal Face has made its home in San Francisco, CA. How did you choose this beautiful city as your stomping ground? I moved out here from Ohio when I was 18 for skateboarding. Back then SF was the epicenter for skateboarding. Skaters from all over the world flocked here. Considered moving to NYC so many times over the years, but SF is too perfect. Could never leave. Fecal Face continues to be a positive force in SF’s art world. Can you elaborate on the importance of free public art forums? Art is about communication. So in terms of a forum, the Internet is one of the best mediums. Its great to see you connect with so many artists and spaces. What’s it like to network all of these creative outlets? Couldn’t live without it. I’ve always had a drive to be around creative intelligent people. Thankfully there are many of those sorts around these parts. I heard you’re a pretty experienced sailor. What’s the best part about sailing in the San Francisco Bay? Look for an upcoming sailing guide on Fecal Face really soon. Seriously, I have no idea why more people aren’t out there. My wife and I are out there every weekend and we have the Bay to ourselves- including all the rad places to anchor and stay overnight. Going out in the city for the weekend is expensive. We spend only $20 each for a whole weekend... A trip to Trader Joes with some 2 Buck Chuck and some food to BBQ sets you up nice... Plus, they’re giving boats away on Craigslist. So much fun and so much to learn. Highly recommend. -Photos and Interview: SFAQ Staff www.fecalface.com 45 lanBamberger arTBusiness(DOT)COM “My mantra is ‘More art everywhere is good’ so I suppose the attitude would involve whatever I can do to facilitate that.”
46 So for the people who don’t know what Art Business (dot) com is, please give a small description of what you are doing with this project? I like to think of Art Business (dot)com a consumer resource where people can learn about how the art world works. It has articles for artists, articles for collectors, and articles about art reference resources for people who do different types of art and artist research. The San Francisco Art Galleries section came later (about 5 years after I started the site). I’m not exactly clear on why I added the SF galleries section really, other than one night I took my brand new (and stupidly expensive) 1.3 megapixel digital camera to an art opening and took three pictures. The rest, as they say, is history.
How and when did Art Business start, and where do you see it going in the near future? I think I bought the domain in 1997. At the time, I was writing for newspapers and magazines, and my idea was to use the site as sort of an online resume for my writing-- where editors could see samples of my work-- rather than me having to query publications with article ideas and then having to send them samples of my work in the mail or by fax. Yep... I’m just that old. Anyway, my goal these days is to keep adding articles and information that people involved with art will find useful, and to continue my ongoing coverage of the San Francisco art scene.
In a few words, can you describe the Art Business attitude? The art business attitude... hmmm, let me see... My mantra is “More art everywhere is good,” so I suppose the attitude would involve whatever I can do to facilitate that.
What is the philosophy that envelops Art Business and the events that you highlight? Well, if we’re talking about the events, then I guess my intentions are several. At the beginning, I felt that San Francisco wasn’t getting nearly enough play in major national arts publications, so I wanted to try and do something to help change that. Next came the idea to project a sense of the local community, and in order to do that, I began to cover as much art at as many venues as possible, every kind imaginable, and to present and report on everything together in a non-prioritized nonjudgmental way. The art world is diverse here in San Francisco. I try to make everyone aware of and appreciative of that, and perhaps in the process, introduce or at least familiarize the various “factions” with one another. Then there’s the archival nature of the coverage. San Francisco is one of the few places on the planet where one person (with increasingly more help, thank- fully) can cover just about everything. So if I can manage to continue this over say a period of 10 years or so, there will be an incredible wealth of information for people to study or research in the future-- and essentially examine very closely a significant period of time in the evolution of an art scene. Also, I think art people should get to know each other, and I hope that what I do promotes that. Lastly, it’s a way for me to give back to the community.
How does appraising art relate to the activity of gallery hopping? I learn all kinds of valuable stuff by watching artists and galleries (and art prices) change over time. The process gives me a real hands-on education on how dealers, collectors and other fine arts professionals value art in the contemporary market. For me, a big part of looking at art also involves looking at prices, and asking questions necessary to figure out why particular works of art are priced the way they are. After seeing so much art, I can pretty much tell when a price is fair, overpriced, a bargain-- or what an artist’s price range should be, based on the artist, the resume, and the nature of the work. The more art I see, the better I understand the somewhat contentious relationship between art and money and how the two mesh.
How has Art Business developed into a Bay Area entity? Are you doing it alone or is there an Art Business team? It’s mainly me who does the grunt work, but thank God for all the people who help me cover art shows. And part of the “Bay Area entity” (or global entity, more accurately), stems from all the communication and correspondence that I get from artists and art people everywhere. All of their questions, feedback, comments and requests continue to expand my really broad perspective on how the art world operates, and help me custom tailor the site’s content in order to help the maximum number of people possible.
Art Business has made its home in San Francisco, CA. How did you choose this beautiful city as your stomping ground? Well, I came here in 1975 to continue my studies in psychology ‘cuz all the coolest shit was emanating out of San Francisco and the Bay Area. I started off by living at this “clothing optional” hot springs out in the boonies (Wilbur Hot Springs) for a little over two years, studied with the owner who is a well-known psychologist, and also helped maintain the place. The experience was truly unique-- no electricity, tv, music, newspapers or anything. Just hot baths bubbling up from the center of the earth, and the sky. I remember how big a deal it was just to drive 22 miles to the nearest town (1200 people) and buy a candy bar. But that eventually got boring so I came to SF. And then a whole bunch of shit happened, and now I’m doing this. So there you go.
Art Business continues to be a positive force in SF’s art world. Can you elaborate on the importance of free public art forums? Free for you; sweat for me. But enough about that. It’s important for the art community to be able to follow art events and dialogue about art in an open and comprehensive way, and it’s also important for art people outside of the city to see the depth and extent and variety of creative expression emanating out of the Bay Area, and from San Francisco in particular.
Its great to see you connect with so many artists and spaces. Whats it like to network all of these creative outlets? In a way, it’s almost like being a part of one great big family-- that’s how I see it anyway. The players and the sectors are so different from one another, and the variety is endlessly fascinating, yet in so many ways, we’re all one and the same.
You somehow (mysteriously) attend every art show in the city, whats your secret? In the unlikely event of my demise, I have instructed my executors to publicly reveal all of my secrets.

Josette Melchor: Executive Director
he Tenderloin can be very rewarding and at the same time one of the roughest neighborhoods in San Francisco, what Twould you say is the best and worst part of running an art space and a foundation in the TL? The best part, I would say, is the opportunity around this neighborhood. There’s a lot going on here that is really exciting to uncover, to investigate. There’s all kinds of things being avoided in this neighborhood, but there’s also a lot of things to find out and discover. There’s a lot of really amazing non-profits around the neighborhood, not necessarily art focused but public service focused. It’s really great to work with them, to see all the rewarding work they’re doing, and see how we can all work together and have artists present or be inspired by whats going on around us. Many of the artists we work with work with data, they work with information. And a lot of the time they are uncovering patterns or bringing up questions about things you would never think of. The Tenderloin Dynamic, the project that is upstairs now, is a stamen design project. They did an on-line and 2D installation in the mezzanine, and were able to visualize and think about four or five different data sets, specific to the tenderloin and also to San Francisco. It was really great to be able to do some investigation and present this information in art form, and raise questions about transparency, about urban planning, about all the social issues around this neighborhood. Its not like we’re going to answer all of these questions, maybe in some time we will be able to, but its just really great to be able to have conversation and bring up issues in a kind of non-threatening, open, community-based way. Thats one of the most exciting things, is I think, just investigating, working with the neighborhood, and trying to promote transparency as much as we can, given the resources that we have. The worst thing, If I wanted to be really blunt, is the amount of human defecation around the neighborhood. It’s not so much the people, they’re okay. We often times get people saying “Oh why are you in the tenderloin, it’s so sketchy around there.” To this day, no one within our community has been violated by anyone in the neighborhood. But there’s a lot of people with mental health issues walking around these streets, so people do get screamed at and harassed in certain ways, but not necessarily physically. It’s more of a kind of verbal sense of being in a rough neighborhood. Street maintenance is an issue we have to deal with. We don’t have as much foot traffic as we would if it was in another neighborhood. There is a weird seedy vibe sometimes though. It also generally isn’t fun seeing people in distress and not being able to help each and every person. So I think that’s it, one of the worst parts is just seeing that and not being able to do anything about people’s situations here.
In addition to the current space you run right now you are expanding down the street as well, please expalain whats happeing to the block. Since the liquor store on the corner has now moved across the street, it has been really amazing to see the transformation for us and everyone in the neighborhood. There used to be inebriated people on the corner just kind of hanging out, buying malt liquor, and that liquor store owner not really doing anything to help those people loitering in front of his business. Its really important that a lot of the business owners all work together and help in keeping a positive energy outside. What you’ll see changing in the next year is you’ll see these storefronts opening up, you’ll see the bars coming out of the windows. You’ll be able to see inside, just like how you can see inside here. I think the most important thing about the energy and vibes of the street is that, if all of the business are locked up and closed, thats going to just continue. The work has to come from the inside of these buildings, and we have to remain as open as possible. We’re going to really open these spaces, we’re going to have a performance venue and media lab here, partnered with Recumbent 54 Media Labs, with a cafe that will serve organic coffee and snacks. It will feed our theatre but also be open to the community. There will be a more performative focus in our next iteration of development. We’re really hoping to be a safe space for families and children, not only in the Tenderloin but throughout San Francisco. And also a space for artists and technologists to work, and to be able to present their work to the community.
Are you active in the curatorial process of those spaces as well? We have so much programming that we just cant fit it in this space. So now we’re focused on the visual side of what we want to do; visualization, screen-based projects. Next door, we will be able to work sound, the personification of information and it will be completely different. Here and now it is more about the visuals and work space for artists and entrepreneurs. We want to remain an interdisciplinary creative space. We are focused on digital culture, which means always presenting our work on-line, using information thats collected and that can take the form of anything. It could be a painting, which is visualizing too, but we strive to remain interdisciplinary. Our heavy focus, of course, is art and technology.
You are working directly with families and you’re also working with programs such as the boys and girls club and YMCA. Can you talk about the change that you’ve seen, specifically with families in the TL through bringing art and cluture? Right now we are mostly working with the Boys and Girls Club. Its kind of casual as we are trying to define what our youth program is actually going to be. I have been talking to the Boys and Girls Club for a couple of years now, trying to define what the best way to work with the kids is. They have come over on a very casual basis for tours, they did a silk screening workshops, they have played with the interactive installations here. We’ve walked them through and showed them what it is that we do. But beyond that, we’re trying to find ways to teach kids to do what we do. We’re trying to figure out how to work with organizations to figure out which kids are best for certain types of programs. Its been great because the Boys and Girls Club and YMCA already know their youths personally. In the summer we’re working with ZEUM on a workshop called Creative Coding for Kids with 11-13 year olds. So we’re really trying to figure out what the best format for our workshops are. We’re trying to work with the organizations that are already working with children, and trying to define our programs with them. I haven’t seen anything other than families and children being excited that we’re here, and being happy to see the change. A lot of them live upstairs, so we often times hear the families and they hear us I’m sure. They come over, and we give them tours, and we’ve been having a day where we invite the building to an open gallery and take them through and answer questions. They have all been really enthusiastic about us being here. They would never walk in unless we invited them, which is weird because we would love to have them here. We’ve found that we actually have to do more outreach to get the people who actually live in the neighborhood to come here. But every time they have come its been extremely rewarding and they have been thankful that we’re here and its not what it used to be. Their families get to have a little bit of culture right under where they live. A lot of them just stay in this neighborhood, they don’t really travel out.
You’re also involved in public art prjects as well. Bringing your ideas, your programming out to the community and taking it out of the gallery. You mentioned something to me last time we were talking about a new project involving free wi-fi and broadcasting it into the community. We’re working with KQED and Berkeley Center for New Media, as well as some other academic organizations and non-profits to facilitate a community festival based around locative media. We will be facilitating projects that bring together artists, technologists and community organizations. The community organizations are actually going to be involved in picking the projects that we actually produce, so we’ve been working with Glide and Hospitality House as well as Boys and Girls Club. So they will be able to review the applications with us, and say, “yes this is going to work within our organization”, or “why don’t we do the project this way”, or “this would really help us.” They will be able to define the projects that we produce within the festival. Whats really exciting about the topic that we will be covering at the festival is that technologies can actually solve problems, they can take the form of community mapping. You can have people with cell phones involved in the survey, like about how much traffic is on the corner on Turk and Taylor. While you’re standing on the corner, you can punch in the survey on your phone, which ultimately collects a database of information that we can provide to the city. We can say, with evidence, that this corner needs repair, we really need to change things. It really gets the community involved in planning, by giving them a voice in some of the things that are happening in the neighborhood. We have had about ten submissions so far, and we are definitely looking for more. We are hoping that the projects that we define with Boys and Girls Club can be some sort of tool that they have already been wanting to build. And the same with any other organization, these are all kind of different things that could come up within the festival.
