I am grateful to an expansive community of people who have assisted me with this project.

  • Between What Is and What Could Be: the Clarion Alley Mural Project Aaron Noble, 2005
    Between What Is and What Could Be: The Clarion Alley Mural Project Aaron Noble, 2005 Cuando regresemos a nuestra antigua tierra Que nunca conocimos Y platiquemos de todas esas cosas Que nunca han sucedido Caminaremos llevando de la mano ninos Que nunca han existido Escucharemos sus voces y viviremos Esa vida de la que tanto hablamos Y nunca hemos vivido When we return to our ancient land Which we never knew And talk about all those things That have never happened We will walk holding the hands of children Who have never existed We will listen to their voices and we will live That life which we have spoken of so often And have never lived -- Daisy Zamora Alfonso Texidor chose this poem for Clarion Alley in 1993 as the first murals were being painted. It consists of four utopian assertions, each one qualified –nearly negated-- by the harrow of this world. These assertions claim the importance of Place, History, Nurturance and Listening, the last of which is most closely associated with an ideal life. Could this sorrowful brief poem be any more opposed to the way things are moving in San Francisco today? Could Alfonso have thrown us any more of a curve ball? The best history of the Clarion Alley Mural Project would be a listening project, assembled from interviews with one or two or three hundred people and would fill a small book at least. In lieu of that, I’ve tried to follow a thread through my own experience, a thread I hope will connect a few ideas about our position in the political and artistic currents—or say, to link them properly, the expressive practices of the Mission district, and about the frictions of insisting on a better world in this world, a world better in that, among other things, the meaning of signs is held to account.

  • The Mission School San Francisco's Street Artists Deliver Their
    The Mission school San Francisco's street artists deliver their neighborhood to the art world. By Glen Helfand IF PLACES LIKE the Left Bank and Greenwich Village feel vaguely historical, it's pleasing to note that artistic movements, even under the reign of globalism, can still be traced to neighborhoods, the physical places where artists, writers, and thinkers congregate. Perhaps because San Francisco is so compact, its cultural innovations, more than many other cities', have always been identified with specific, romanticized intersections. Castro and Market, gay liberation. Haight and Ashbury, hippies. Columbus and Broadway, beats. Most recently, 16th Street and Mission has become the locus of a yet to be labeled brand of art that's become one of San Francisco's most notable exports. In the art world, however, the idea of provincialism is viewed with suspicion and even condescension, which is why it's somehow so satisfying that Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen – who succumbed to cancer last year at 33 – and Chris Johanson, among others, have become international icons of a thirtysomething generation of San Francisco artists who mine an aesthetic of the local streets. For them, it's a road that, surprisingly, has led to huge popularity in New York and even Japan, illustrating the old rock and roll truism that sometimes an artist has to leave the country to get real notice at home. It's even more satisfying that these artists have gone global with an extremely humane and honest approach. Their work is heartfelt, handmade, and deeply observational, and its urban realism is filtered through interests in graffiti, comic books, green culture, and social activism.

    HU130 Visual Language and Culture: Class Overview The media revolution communicates through images as much if not more than through words. Strategies of interpretation and theories of visual logic are introduced. Visual Language and Culture is a broad overview of the history, culture and interpretation of art in the wider world. To accommo- date the dissemination of this information, and to allow students to participate in discussions surrounding it, I designed a worksheet with a series of questions divided into relevant discussion topics. Each artwork is discussed in terms of Formal Analysis, Sociopo- litical Relevance, Gender Race and Social Class, Art Historical Im- plications and Scientific Innovation and Influence. The same ques- tions are used in each analysis so students can see the patterns and developments of the same ideas over time. This format also forces students to see art in a larger context, influenced by history and non-art events as well as the structure of the art market in differ- ent time periods. For students who are much more visual thinkers than potential art historians, this structure allows a space for them to absorb a few examples in greater detail and to relate them to the art making practice as a job with struggles and rewards, similar to their personal experiences. The question/ answer approach also al- lows me to engage the class throughout the lecture, as the critical analysis progresses through the topics. While the worksheet provides the backbone for the class, the stu- dents use their knowledge in context through essays and creative projects. The final project for the class asks students to design their own gallery exhibition.
