Current site of SFMOMA

Changing Focus: Ira Nowinsky

Before SOMA was the arts center that it is today, it was the center of blue collar San Francisco. In 1960 there were 63 residential hotels in the area between 3rd and 4th streets and Market and Folsom alone. By the mid 1970s, almost all had been removed. Ira Nowinski is a San Francisco photographer, who in the early 70s developed a relationship with the men who were being displaced in the name of the greater redeveloping good. His book No Vacancy: Urban Renewal and the Elderly profiles a changing neighborhood as well as the gentlemen who inhabited South of Market in the 1970s who fought for their rights to live downtown.

When did you get involved with SOMA as a interesting? neighborhood? If they had 50 rooms in the hotel, there were only 10 or I was taking some courses at the Art Institute (SFAI) 20 people living there. So it was a very strange surreal and while I was there got involved in documentary situation, which fit my schooling at the Art Institute. I was photography. When you are young you are looking for interested in surrealism and painting and here was this projects, it was something to do that was interesting.

It sounded like an interesting project, so I went I pretty much would go down from the Art Institute and down from the Art Institute.

Then an old man came around the alley and I told him I wanted to take pictures of the residence before they were kicked out.

What were those meetings like? We’d have these monthly meetings it was unbelievable. It would be packed with guys [from the hotel], Filipino people from the neighborhood and this very large African American family, led by their matriarch, Cetrice Polite. Mandy Hawes would be there from Neighborhood Legal Assistance Foundation. She later became a prominent lawyer and litigated in Silicon Valley. It was really something. I used to be assigned the job of going across the street to the pawnshop and getting the speakers for the event and George and Pete would ramble into the microphone.

SFMOMA | NEW MEDIA CURATOR Interview Kent Long

Rudolf Frieling was appointed SFMOMA’s curator of media arts in January 2006. Most recently, Frieling oversaw the exhibition William Kentridge: Five Themes (2009). He also organized SFMOMA’s exhibitions On View: Candice Breitz (2009); The Art of Participation: 1950 to Now (2008); Room for Thought: Alexander Hahn and Yves Netzhammer (2008); Douglas Gordon: Pretty Much Every Film and Video Work from about 1992 until Now (2007); and Charged Space: Jane and Louise Wilson/Fikret Atay (2006). He also organized the exhibition and restoration project titled 40yearsvideoart.de: Digital Heritage – Video Art in Germany from 1963 until the present (2006), which documented the importance and impact of media art in Germany’s cultural heritage.

65 For our readers, can you describe your position, and the interests that led you to it? In the mid 1980s I found myself torn in many different directions, trying to free myself from the constraints of academic life, delving into film while at the same time being deeply affected by the vibrant art scene in Berlin. When I had an opportunity to work for a newly founded media arts festival (called VideoFest at the time, today Transmediale), I realized that this was where all my interest could find a home. Comfortably sitting between the categories, the rise of media art in the 90s led me eventually to ZKM Center for Art and Media, possibly the largest institution in this field. FRIELING But in 2006, after 12 years of curating and researching, I was more than happy to leave for the new challenge as Curator of Media Arts and Head of one of the five curatorial departments at SFMOMA. That’s the abbreviated story of my professional career, but I could also tell you on a purely personal level that I had an accident in San Francisco in 1975, and believe it or not, that has changed my life and made me come back.

How do you define ‘media arts’? ie How do you distinguish media arts from other media- through methodology, materials, common threads of inquiry, etc? I guess I should have an answer but I don’t. I have about the same heap of unsolved questions in my mind like everybody else. And how could this be different when our understanding of media keeps changing at a pace that barely leaves time to reflect? Which is also why so many speculative approaches and attitudes can be found in media arts. Today, pretty much anything can be successfully positioned as art, be it education, research, activism, software engineering etc. and museums, galleries, art institutions don’t have so many issues any more with technology per se. But what we don’t have any more is a clear terminology, one that e.g. even differentiates between film and video, a divide that was crystal clear for decades. The very notion of rigorous disciplines is gone. So a question that guides my interest is rather what is a contemporary approach to old and new media in the arts, and secondly, what role can the museum play in the wider picture or landscape of a media driven society.

It seems SFMOMA is actively engaged in dismantling the somewhat rarefied practice of contemporary art viewership. Can you describe one of your curatorial projects that has sought to clarify the (at times) opaque work and concepts of new media?

Contemporary art, whether based on media or not, is often and in fact should be a challenge to what we know. Yet we all are often irritated by the very fact that we don’t understand. This is a recurring pattern, yet it is also a common experience that these concerns diminish over time. What once seemed radical has now become acceptable, sometimes even the norm. Take for example Picasso or Matisse. Or, to stay closer to my field of expertise, take the abundance and ubiquitous use of media in contemporary art. Back in the 1980s, when I started in the arts, the rage against video was literally everywhere in the arts. Having said that, the museum’s specific job is to provide an environment in which a difficult work can be experienced by as many people as possible. This can mean that you need to create if possible a number of different entry or access points to a work or a show in general, which is really what I tried to do with “The Art of Participation: 1950 to Now”. Museums in general have acknowledged the fact that its voice has ceased to teach the authoritative meaning of art, instead they look for new ways to host a number of different voices and to generate more dialogue. How to create favorable conditions of dialogue is really a key question for us. Take our blog, Open Space, and see the kinds of discussions that have emerged there, prompted by initiatives of the museum but often expanding on topics that go well beyond current exhibitions or even interests that we have on our agenda. But let me add another comment on the notion of “opaque”. If you look at new 66 media, you will also find a huge difference in age groups and demographics. The fact that a work is “just” screen- based, doesn’t disqualify it any more from being art, certainly not in the Bay Area, on the contrary.

It would be interesting to know how your notion of‘participatory art’ is illustrated through media art practice. Possibly the most important paradigm shift in our contemporary media society is the fact that we are all networked and have access to information wherever we are. That includes, by definition, the museum. And we have started to question what that means in relation to the way we relate to the public and the public relates to us. You don’t have to be a prophet to understand that the museum of the future will be much more a context, space, activity etc. that engages, stimulates and activates you to contribute - but not just in the sense of enhanced community participation, but rather in very specific ways that artists create. If the Facebook and Twitter crowds are constantly talkingto each other anyway, an artistic reaction to that might just be the opposite: questioning the very notion of participation, addressing the limits and conditions in its own, maybe even idiosyncratic way. “The Art of Participation,” hopefully, managed to be inclusive of a critical dimension in relation to technology as much as it tried to break grounds by bringing contemporary art and media discourses into a shared context. A media art practice that I find challenging is precisely not just about a new software or application, but rather about a set of broader issues to which we can all relate and presented in a truly unique way.

Can you to speak to the challenges of collecting and preserving new media works? The reason why I love being involved in media art is its intellectual and practical challenge to the very notion of collecting, its inherent instability, its constant change of configuration. Some consider this a predicament, others like me enjoy endless opportunities for speculation. The electronic image is by definition relative, that is it relies upon a configuration of hardware and software so you can see it at all. It is never a given, always “produced”. The image that is produced under any given circumstance will be different from the image you saw the last time it was exhibited or screened. Still, we are asked to make judgments; some look better than others, and that is where the dialogue comes in. It is fascinating to study how a work can maintain its presence and integrity under these changing parameters. Ideally, the museum would be in total control of these parameters, e.g. have only open source based media art instead of works that rely upon proprietary software, but that will always be beyond our reach. Artists have this uncanny sense of always going exactly where things get difficult. It is then our job to figure out how to deal with it. So we start a conversation.

The Art of Participation, installation view at William Kentridge: Five Themes San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Courtesy San Francisco Museum of Modern Art photo: Ian Reeves, courtesy SFMOMA 67

In 10th grade I took a class called Western Civilization STARK GUIDE at San Francisco University High School. Prudy Kohler Collectors Column and Bruce Lamott emphasized the sex, drugs, & rock n’ roll side of art history- from Willendorf to Warhol. I was hooked. I majored in art history at Cal, and my 10+ years at Gap Inc HQ surrounded by Don & Doris Fisher’s Marianna Stark collection was my masters. In 2007 I started writing the articles for TheStarkGuide(dot)com that I wanted to read in our local papers but didn’t exist.

People are always asking me how I decide who I’m going to write about for Stark Guide, and how I decide what to buy for my own collection. The story of how I became friends with Greg and Andrew is a perfect illustration:

1. I read a short piece in the San Francisco Chronicle about these two crazy SFAI guys who started a gallery in the Tenderloin in a place that used to be a gold-teeth filling shop. And THEY KEPT THE NAME. So they had my attention.

2. I went to the 2009 fundraising auction at Root Division, and I saw a really cool piece that I liked. I wrote down the artist’s name, then googled him when I got home. POW, it was Greg Ito, co-director of Ever Gold. I bought it.

3. My friend Charlie Forrester (SFAI BFA ’87) family friends with Andrew McClintock, told me he’d heard about this super cool new publication Andrew was launching that was right up my alley.

4. I wandered into Adobe one day and bought a piece by Ryan Coffey SFAI ’07. I emailed Ryan to introduce myself and tell him I was a fan. Ryan and I became friends. In April, Ryan had a show at Ever Gold.

5. Andrew and Greg invited me to write this article.

SSSFFFAAAQQQ The Contemporary Jewish Museum

With the opening of its new building in June 2008, the Contemporary Jewish Museum ushered in a new chapter in its 20-plus year history of engaging audiences and artists in exploring contemporary perspectives on Jewish culture, history, art, and ideas. The new award-winning facility, designed by internationally renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, is a lively center where people of all ages and backgrounds can gather to experience art, share diverse perspectives, and engage in hands-on activities. Inspired by the Hebrew phrase “L’Chaim” (To Life), the building is a physical embodiment of the CJM’s mission to bring together tradition and innovation in an exploration of the Jewish experience in the 21st century.

“We just celebrated our two year anniversary in our new building, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how the Museum has become a vital and important place that brings together people, art and ideas to engage with Jewish art and culture in new and exciting ways,” says Connie Wolf, Museum Director..

In its first two years, the Museum has had an impressive lineup of exhibitions from Chagall to Sendak, to less mainstream, yet highly provocative shows like Susan Hiller: J.Street Project, and Our Struggle: Responding to Mein Kampf – where 600 pages of Mein Kampf were altered by people from all walks of life, from around the world.

The museum is run by Educators who are either adults in the Education program or teens from the ZeumMasters internship program, and with the help of partners, Support for Families of Children with Disabilities, all of the Educators have been trained to work with special needs children.

Each year about 60 teens participate in the ZeumMasters program, which provides many adolescents with their first real job while allowing them to envision their career. In the past year, the city’s funding for the program was cut by forty percent. “We’re having a campaign called Spring Appeal to help support the ZeumMaster Program,” explains Wong Daniels, “as we’re trying to raise money.” For those of us who didn’t experience Zeum as a kid, it might be surprising to learn that it’s more than just a 100- “After circling up the spiral staircase which all serves as a year-old carousel from Playland-at-the-Beach.

Interview & Photos Jesse Pollock

Things have been humming right along for San Francisco artist Jay Howell. Since the debut of his stunning color work at the 111 Minna gallery back in 2008, his aesthetic has cemented itself into an instantly recognizable style of characters and vibrant color. So easily relatable to the San Francisco aesthetic is Jay, that we were shocked to learn of his possible departure and future in Los Angeles. We asked Jay some in-depth questions about his career and philosophies regard art.. which he in turn gracefully sidestepped in his elusively nonchalant style. Perhaps Los Angeles will make Jay Howell more thoughtful at answering questions, but probably not. Most likely he will continue to illustrate, with amazing clarity, our own visions of living free and being happy.. while we laugh right of the chair.

Why was it that it took you so long to tell me about your show at 49 Geary? While some artists would make a really big deal out of having a major show like that, it seemed like I only heard you talk about it the week before it happened. I tried to take a relaxed vibe with this one and not ram it down anyone’s throat. I wasn’t interested in doing press stuff or making a postcard. The space is small and cool and I felt like it would be cool to stumble upon the show. The gallery was down for whatever and made for a great experience.

Do you think, given your stated dislike of the rules and especially the rules set forth by the art world, that you have spurned help or support from people who could be beneficial to you? Do you think making up your own rules hurts you in the long run and is it something you can maintain long-term? I’m not really sure what the rules are? But I feel like it’s good to shake shit up. Like, I didn’t win the SECA award but they had to read my bio and my descriptions of the art, fucks, boners and all. I feel like that’s a victory. This is a weird question.. just do whatever you want and share it with people.

Your style today is pretty unique to the point where someone could look at one of your pieces and know right off the bat they were looking at Jay Howell. However, early on it was interesting to see you evolve through your influences and then eventually shed them for your own voice. Do you find that people interact differently with your art these days? Yeah, I feel like I’ve found a pretty solid direction. I’m always interested in trying new things and developing my style. It took a while to figure out where I was going, I knew I had ideas I wanted to see, I’ll often go back and re-do stuff that I can make better now. I think I’ve always maintained a consistent sense of humor but maybe people take it seriously? I hope they do.

What’s the most common reaction you see people having for the first time? I just hope people feel happy and optimistic. It’s only cartoons you know? If you don’t like that, well then I can’t help you. 75 I think that perhaps before you started saying it in public, people had no idea that the characters in your work are basically little versions of yourself. Do you think people can interact in a different way knowing that it’s so self-referential and that every word uttered on paper comes out of your own mouth? I started off by letting the drawings talk through me, and then I started drawing them to look like me too. It took me a minute to make it a clearer story, but it was a natural progression. I always thought it was obvious and I guess I thought people would catch on eventually. It’s my dream life where you and I get to live the art. You know when you listen to music and you pretend you’re in the band and it’s all so cool? Yeah, it’s like that.

How did you begin working as a curator at 111 Minna? To some it seemed like a natural relationship, but it sort of caught me off guard a little bit to see you take on a responsibility that could have detracted from the work you were already doing. I was part of a group show at 111 around 2004 and the owner (Eiming Jung) and I became good friends. A few years later they gave me my solo show and shortly after that asked me if I would like to be a part of the gallery. I assisted the curator Gabe Scott for a bit and then when Gabe left, I took over. I was excited to work in such a creative place. The work can be completely overwhelming and distracting, but I have had lots of help form assistants, outside curators and the staff there. It’s a nice break from sitting at home drawing all day and it’s the perfect place to meet new people and contact artists that I want to talk to. Plus it’s pretty hard to complain about having a steady paycheck as an artist.

Has it been hard as a working artist to also serve as curator to a gallery with a history of showing such a broad range of artists? You have always been an opinionated guy and as an artist you obviously have your opinions about what you would want to see up on that wall. Has being a curator sat well with you? My take on being a curator isn’t about loving everything, but not every decision is mine. There are a lot of people working with ideas, obligations, friends and other things that I have to take under consideration. It’s been an interesting job so far. The artists can be difficult and weird sometimes and I am not the most patient person. Meeting great artists and people in bands is a dangerous game, because they often ruin themselves to you. But sometimes it’s drinking late nights, hanging shows and making friends for life.

So in case people don’t know yet, we should probably tell that them that you’re leaving San Francisco sometime soon to do amazing things on the television in Los Angeles. How did someone who loves to draw boners and sixty-nines end up on television? Because people want gross stuff in their lives, Bevis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy.. That’s the kind of demographic I’m aiming at. The young kids and stoners.

Do you think television is somewhere you want to be for a while? I’ve heard you talk about how much ADD your paint brush has, so the natural question that comes to mind is do you see yourself somewhere totally different in a year or do you think you’ve found your niche? As soon as I found cartooning and saw them (my illustrations) talk, I knew it was what I wanted to do forever and my life finally made sense. I’ll continue to do art shows and other stuff, but cartoons are for real.

I hope people that follow your work realize that one of your main goals has always been to make your friends laugh. That is such a good goal to have in life. How does a television writing career work into that in your mind and will you be happy if it doesn’t and find yourself back at square one, making your friends laugh again? The cartoon is going to be so, so funny. I’m always back to square one.. everyday. It’s a constant battle to come up with new ideas and to put them to good use. I’m just happy that I’m going to have the chance to put the fun out there on such a big scale and hopefully it translates well. It’s the same as any art type thing. If I don’t like it, I’ll stop.

I don’t remember you showing at Minna since your gigantic solo show back in 2008 where you revealed your color work for the first time. Do you plan to continue your relationship with the gallery after your move either as an artist or curator? I’ll continue to work with 111 in anyway they’ll have me. It’ll be nice to not have to curate my own show - which is something I refuse to do. I’m excited to be able to use the space for myself.

Since I only end up knowing about your shows the day of these days, I should ask if you’re working on any collections at the moment. There are a ton of galleries in Los Angeles, are you excited about showing work in a large scale in a new city? I’m doing a solo show in Portland in September at the Together Gallery and then at Fecal Face in November. That’s all I have planned for the whole year so that I can focus on cartooning and commercial jobs. I’ll probably commit to a ton more stuff throughout the year though. If I just keep working everyday like I’m gonna have a show they start appearing, but I’m super excited about jamming around in LA finding galleries and checking out a new scene. LA is funny.

When you’re living in Los Angeles, do you think it will be more of a San Francisco guy having adventures in a weird new city or can you see yourself assimilating into a Los Angeles persona? I only ask because I associate you so much with San Francisco’s aesthetic and personality. I have a tendency to assimilate to the city I’m living in. I Love San Francisco so much, but the weather in LA is what I’m really going to love though. It’s so warm and I love to swim so I’ll be checking out the ocean more. I guess we’ll just have to see what happens. You’re making me nervous with all these questions about my personality. I’ll continue to do what I always do wherever I am.. no rules, fuckin’ around and sayin’ classic shit.

76 Baer Eli Ridgway Ridgway talks with Gallery Gabe Scott

Kent Baer Eli Ridgway Since late 2008, Kent Baer and Eli Ridgeway have one of the most progressive and well received art venues in San Francisco. In addition to receiving SF Weekly’s Best New Art Gallery in 2009, Baer Ridgeway Exhibitions continues to be a top representative of San Francisco on the national art fair circuit. They continue to bring award-winning contemporary artists to our attention, as well provide fresh curatorial practices and perspectives. For those who’ve yet to be introduced, here’s a little background on two of the Bay Area’s top young gallerists.

Tell me a little about your background in the arts, and how that led to your partnership in Baer / Ridgeway Exhibitions. I studied New Genres at the San Francisco Art Institute and went on to work for Gallery Paule Anglim (2003-2005, 2006-2008). From 2005 to 2006 I lived in Seattle and worked for Greg Kucera Gallery, where I met Kent. After returning to San Francisco, Kent left Greg Kucera Gallery in 2007 to dedicate himself full time to Baer Press, his limited editions publishing company. We had similar aspirations and decided that a partnership was a good way to proceed with the tough job of operating a gallery.

How would you characterize the range of work that you exhibit? You have some excellent young talent in artists like Rebecca Goldfarb, Matthew Palladino, Brion Nuda Rosch, Cassandra Jones and Chris Duncan... One thing that we really hold onto is the idea of the gallery being a collaborative effort; the stronger the team of people around the gallery the more we can accomplish. We love working with artists and curators who share this perspective. Many of our artists and occasional guest curators work with tight concepts that are presented in their respected exhibits or media. We are looking for artists in pursuit of pure philosophical inquiry that also convey a unique voice in visual art. A strong background in theory and understanding of the contemporary art context is essential for fullfilling our goal of having the artists that we exhibit recognized by mature collectors and museums.

You recently participated in the SF Fine Art Fair at Fort Mason along with a number of national and international representatives. How was that experience? How would you compare the SF Fine Art Fair to other art fairs you participate in such as Pulse (NYC), Next (Chicago) and Nada (Miami)? We were pleased to see the SFFAF take place. There is a long legacy of this city having an annual fair and it was exciting to see this return. We feel that is was a great opportunity to present our relatively young gallery to the regional population that values fine art. Fairs are always a little hit or miss because it is difficult for the gallery to create a clear context for the art work. To combat this issue, we frequently present one artist in each fair in order to achieve a strong presentation of our gallery’s identity and perspective.

San Francisco is a city rich in attractions for visiting galleries, artists and collectors alike. What do you think needs to happen in order for San Francisco to be a top art fair destination such as Miami, New York and Chicago? Mid-major cities like SF, or St. Louis, or Seattle or even Chicago for that matter have lived in the shadows of art epicenters like LA, and NYC for a long time. A couple things need to line up in order for SF to become a major attraction for art fairs. First, sound business practices are required by the organizing fair company. Second, galleries that are invited to the fair need to participate and exhibit great work. Thirdly, that work needs to find a reception from the fair audience. There is a great expense accrued by galleries when participating in fairs so from a business perspective the costs need to be offset by enough sales to make it worth the galleries time and money. The more opportunity there is to make money at a fair the more galleries will apply. The more galleries that apply the more the fair company can curate among those galleries to create a list of the best galleries operating around the globe. The stronger the galleries are in the fair the more likely mature collectors will travel to the fair and acquire work. There really isn’t a hierarchy here among the roles of the Fair, participating galleries, exhibiting artists and collectors, they each have their valued role and they all need to be done in order to succeed. Another important aspect is the community involvement, including private collections opening to fair goers, the city seizing the opportunity to market itself as a contemporary art destination, and other business finding ways to cross market.

What would you say have been the most challenging aspects of establishing yourselves independently and maintaining a strong presence within the San Francisco gallery community? Most people do not realize just how different the contemporary art world is from other businesses. What many standard business would do to drum up awareness and sales would for better or worse undermine our legitimacy. We try to offer all our constituents (artists, collectors, curators, critics, art lovers and students) a unique chance to come together and hope that by providing them with excellent programming we can continue to reach a greater audience. In many ways, this is a a very old fashioned and slow business based on trusting relationships. 78 How would you describe your audience and collector base? Given your background in New Genres @ SFAI, do feel your personal aesthetic appeals to a specific scene or group? I have a great respect for our audience. In general, they educate themselves constantly by seeing an amazing amount of shows and reading vivaciously. The ongoing dialogue that we are able to have with them is one of the most rewarding aspects of the gallery. We do realize that our programming is not going to be readily accessible to anyone off the street, but we do our best to share what we think is important and intriguing about the art we show to everyone. Our clients though tend to have a very specific interest in new and exciting art that is being produced in our historical moment. Their support of these artist’s voices is really inspiring.

You spent some quality years over the past decade with Paule Anglim on Geary st. After the relocation of longtime 49 Geary galleries like Catherine Clark away from Union Square in the past couple of years, do you sense a shift in mature collector culture, at least as far as location? What do you think about the Yerba Buena Gardens area becoming a top destination for some seasoned buyers? I have been in San Francisco for almost 11 years now and the past few years represents the most exciting period for me. There is a group of very strong galleries and other art spaces that have a keen sense of current national and international art trends and San Francisco’s unique place in that conversation. I don’t think there is a trending away from Geary and certainly there are many great shows happening there. The Bay Area simply has much more to offer now and it seems as if more and more people are engaged and participating. The Yerba Buena neighborhood is attempting to position itself as the art center of San Francisco and we of course love that idea.

With Matthew Palladino’s ‘Wonder Box’ exhibition coming to a close mid June, talk a little bit about the next couple of shows this summer. After Matthew Palladino, we will be showing Lindsey White, Nao Bustamante and David Kasprzak, opening June 19th. Lindsey will be in the ground floor gallery with an exhibition of new photography, video and sculpture titled Equivalent Exposure. Nao Bustamante, who is on Bravo’s new reality show, Work of Art, will be doing a performance the night of the opening in the lower gallery and will also be exhibiting related photography and video. David Kasprzak has curated our Bookstore space with his latest project called BLESS THIS MESS - drawings, photo-assemblages, sculpture, and collected ephemera illustrating the destruction and decay of materials and ideologies. It asks us to find a Nietzschesque “joyful destruction” or a cathartic outlet in which to generate a hopeful future from the rubble.

Will there be the implementation of any new curatorial philosophies or practices at Baer / Ridgeway for the 2011 calendar? The gallery has just begun a new program of allowing young curaters and artists to create exhibitions, both commercial and non-commercial in our Bookstore space. Amanda Hunt, a current graduate student at CCA was the first with her exhibition culled from the collection of Steven Leiber, The Life of the Object, which included works and ephemera by Daniel Buren, Walter De Maria, Image Bank, Bas Jan Ader, Ray Johnson, Christian Marclay, Yoko Ono, Dieter Roth, Tom Sachs and others. One of the aspects of this program that we are really excited about is the opportunity to explore connections between artworks, ephemera, objects, books, magazines and zines. 79 Tyler Cufley - Untitled (Mr. T)

Executive Director ARTSPAN

photo Charley Villyard

It seems there are a lot of different assumptions of what art span is and how it functions in the Art World. Please explain exactly what ArtSpan is? ArtSpan is an organizational vehicle serving multiple communities and networks of artists in San Francisco. Our primary event is SF Open Studios, which has occurred every fall since 1975 and features nearly 900 emerging and established artists. In addition, we manage Art for City Youth, an arts education program that connects ArtSpan member artists with training and teaching opportunities in SF elementary schools. ArtSpan is at any given time a medium, an organizer, a promotion tool, a collective and a connector.

How is it beneficial to its members (artists) and collectors? ArtSpan members are promoted through our printed SF Open Studios magazine (the Guide), the on-line Guide, inclusion in maps produced by the SF Bay Guardian and the SF Open Studios Exhibition They also have access to our Professional Development Workshops, opportunities to teach, as well as exhibition opportunities. In turn, collectors and art enthusiasts have access to the large network of SF artists that participate in our program.

81 ArtSpan also produces an art catalogue and hosts SF Open Studios as well, what are the benefits of creating a balance between traditional print, art shows, and such a comprehensive online resource? The beauty of keeping organizational balance is continually adapting to the needs of your constituency. I love that there are various ways an artist can utilize ArtSpan. I am interested in satisfying the ever evolving needs of creative people. That said, ArtSpan is in the process of overhauling our Web site to capitalize on new technologies and web connections. The internet has changed the way artists can mobilize and self market. We have anticipated that shift and are working to stay current in the presentation of art and artists on many platforms.

Executive Director Why should an unrepresented artist join? ARTSPAN SF Open Studios gives an artist the chance to open their doors to friends who have not seen their work in a while, co- workers or clients that have never seen their work, collectors that have purchased a piece in the past and are curious what they are up to, and the wild card – the general public! All artists should join whether represented by a gallery or not. Generally speaking, artists who have SF gallery representation don’t participate. I would like to see more artists join in the future. Our program allows collectors an opportunity to have an open dialogue with artists and discover the diverse impulses and inspirations behind the creative process.

When was ArtSpan founded and how has it grown over the years? After fifteen years of producing SF Open Studios through various volunteer networks, a group of active artists and supporters held a meeting to decide the future of the program. The collective decision was to organize SF Open Studios by forming a non-profit organization with an executive director and governing board of directors. Almost 20 years have passed and we are still thriving. This is a key moment for organizational growth. We now distribute 25,000 copies of the Guide compared to 5,000 in 1991. We estimate that 50,000 people come out for SF Open Studios every October. These numbers mean huge visibility for participating artists.

You recently got appointed to executive director, what direction are you planning on taking the organization? I want to push the relevance and potential of ArtSpan as far forward as possible. Creative people in San Francisco have so much to gain through unification. We have so many types, groups and sub-divisions, what happened to the collective pleasure of pure art making? I envision an open organization that is not limited by stereotypes of what art is and should be. My goal is to push the validity of our organization through city-wide advocacy for the arts at the most basic level: every creative person should have the platform to share his or her work.

You were working at the SFMOMA for a few years how has that experience shaped your perception of art and art organizations? At the SFMOMA I managed SECA, one of the Bay Area’s premier contemporary art interest groups responsible for the production of the SECA Art Award. Coming to a grassroots non-profit from a large institution was a huge culture shift for me. ArtSpan has an amazing Board and staff as well as an extended network of volunteers and consultants with diverse expertise and vision. Everyone involved is committed to an increased level of excellence. My six years at SFMOMA gave me a wonderful foundation for my career in the arts. I am looking forward to continuing to develop and build on that foundation with ArtSpan.

How has your perception of ArtSpan changed from before you were appointed executive director to the present? ArtSpan is so much more than SF Open Studios. Throughout the year we work to promote artists through juried and curated exhibitions including Selections, 30 Under 30 and the display of work in the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau offices. I would like to see more opportunities like these unfold in my tenure.

Why is ArtSpan so awesome? I like that ArtSpan functions like a creative union. We work hard to fulfill the needs of our members and to bolster the healthy creative culture that makes San Francisco so unique.

Any shout outs or last words? I would like to give a shout out to SFAQ for embarking on the huge project of connecting and promoting art platforms. I look forward to future collaborations!

in my mind -we are all part of the Bay Area Arts Scene.

Due to the current state of the economy, many galleries in the Bay Area have had to close their doors. What measures are you taking to keep this space open to the art community? Times are tough, and it’s been important to stay thrifty yet also make ongoing investments in the artists. I exhibit in art fairs such as VOLTA in New York, NADA in Miami and NEXT, which has really helped spread the work to different markets.

I crave the look of shock when people first enter!

You live in San Francisco but the Johansson Projects are in Oakland--how do you conceive of the division between the artistic communities present in San Francisco and the East Bay? The Oakland art scene is a bit more unpredictable than San Francisco. If art fans are up for a treasure hunt there are many unique rewards, as often shows are not well as publicized. An art exhibit floating on water inside a large warehouse, is one but example! That said, I don’t feel there is a big division, though I know many feel there is. It’s a Bay Area neighborhood across the bridge where much of region’s art is being made. It’s exciting to have the gallery in the thick of all that creative energy. I remain involved with organizations in both San Francisco and Oakland and participate in the same national art fairs, and 88 JIM MARSHALL Unpublished interview from 2007 Polaroid of Jim by Terry Heffernan Inroduction by John McDermott Interview by Andrew McClintock

“...That’s a problem, compromises are made. I fortunately haven’t made many- actually I don’t think I’ve ever made one…It’s just not the way I do things.”

hen I started trying to become a photographer in the mid-1970’s I didn’t go to photo school. Instead, wI hung out at the Chong Lee Photo Lab on Bush Street. It was THE black and white lab in town and all the most established photographers were Chong’s customers-people like Baron Wolman, Paul Fusco, Charles Moore, Ted Streshinsky, Chris Springmann, Annie Liebovitz, Michael Zagaris and, of course, Jim Marshall. Some were friendly and helpful, others less so. Jim was definitely one of the former. He wasn’t threatened by a new kid on the block (people who are really good at what they do rarely are) and he understood the importance of imparting the right values to a newcomer to the profession. This he did by word, but more importantly by example. He was not one to ever compromise on principles like copyright or how he felt he needed to be able to work in order to do justice to a subject or story. Unlike a lot of people, he was willing to pay the price for his stand. Jim could be profane and painfully blunt. But he was never, ever not honest. 89 He might have had a gruff exterior, but inside him beat a huge and generous heart. To him, integrity was all you had, as a photographer and as a human being. There was also never, ever any bullshit with Jim. Not in his pictures and not in his relations with other people. He could spot it a mile away and if he did you Polaroid of Jim by were history. Jim’s problem with cocaine and his fascination with firearms were common knowledge and Terry Heffernan something that, if you were his friend, you learned to accept. So it was gratifying to see him emerge from a tough period and enjoy renewed appreciation for his work and a “second act” later in life where he even became something of a celebrity. It did not, however, change him. Most people will remember him for his iconic images, some for the many stories of his colorful life. His friends will remember him as a genuinely good and kind man who above all loved what he did and never compromised his principles.

John McDermott Photographer

When did you seriously begin taking photographs? So how do you feel about digital cameras? Well that’s kind of tough to say. I was always fascinated I see digital stuff that’s amazing, I’m not digital. Leica with cameras. When I was nine or ten years old I won has a digital M, the MA. But they’ve got a few bugs to a track meet, and I had a baby brownie [camera] at the work out on it. So you know I’m not going to get one until time and the guy that took the pictures at the track meet maybe later this year, if I get one at all…you have to have had a Leica, well I didn’t know what a Leica was at the a computer, you have to have Photoshop and all this time, but he made a print for my mom and it was like razor crap. Hell, I’ve got the same black and white darkroom sharp and I was like “my god! He’s got a magic box.” So I guy for twenty-seven years, won’t change. started cutting pictures of cameras out of magazines and pasting them in a scrapbook, which I still have, and with Do you have a good relationship with Leica? the prices written in pencil. It’s an interesting scrapbook. Ya, very good. I’ve gone to trade shows with them and I screwed around in the Air Force taking a few shots just stuff. I have a very good relationship with Leica, they’re for the hell of it and I was also always into car racing so I great. started taking a few pictures at the drag races, not much, pretty amateur actually, but I still have all the negatives Being a San Francisco native and living here for most and everything. The first time I did it professionally I think of your life how have you seen the music and art was probably nineteen fifty-nine. The first major artist I scenes change over the years? photographed was Diamond Washington. It was off of roll It’s gotten more impersonal. My feeling anyway. I had number forty. I’ve got like thirty or forty thousand rolls of one gallery show here in San Francisco and that was a film I’ve shot…that was roll number forty. The next major disaster cause the guy didn’t know what the fuck he was artist that I photographed was John Coltrane, nineteen doing… I don’t know, it’s changed a lot. It’s just hard for fifty-nine, nineteen sixty, at the house of Ralph Gleason, me to verbalize it. It’s not comfortable… San Franciscans who was San Francisco’s Chronicle’s Jazz critic. I had like to think of it [SF] as a big city, it’s just a small town. met Coltrane at the jazz workshop and we were back It’s very provincial. stage and he said, “How do I get to Berkeley? I’ve got no ride” and I says “why” and he says “ Well I’ve got to go to How has the Photography business changed? Ralph Gleason’s house for an interview” and I said, “ I’ll The business has gotten, well there is no editorial take you”. So I picked him up at the hotel and took him business in SF. Everything now is a set up shot. There and the rest is history. I shot nine rolls that day at Ralph is very little photojournalism done. In my field, music, Gleason’s house. Probably one of the best takes I ever Now its gotten to where everything thing is a set up shot, did. everything is controlled. There is no access. You don’t get back stage, I do when I shot with a band. I’m doing a How long have you been using a Leica? band called Velvet Revolver now, I have total access with I’ve been using Leicas forever. I think my first single lens them. Limp Biskit, Lenny Kravits. John Mayer, I have total reflex was a Pentax, an Asahi K, and then I used Nikon access. That’s the only way I’ll work. Otherwise you see reflexes. And then I had one reflex of Leica R62, and then these concert guys that come in and they get to shoot two I use Leica range finders. That’s all I use. numbers and then they gotta leave. It’s gotten, my take on that, I don’t know, I’m going all over the place with this What do you see in Leicas? but my take on that is that the bands, the artists now are They’re just that must better than anything else. They’re like the pioneers and they viewed us, the photographer, quiet, their responsiveness. People that don’t use a range as the Indians. You know they would circle their wagons finder find it very awkward but I grew up on a rangefinder, around, say you can only take two numbers. I think the so it’s very comfortable for me. photographers brought that upon themselves. So many of them became whores with their camera who sold pictures to anyone for any price and I think that’s what did it. I 90 think that was the straw that broke the camels back. The Do you feel that there’s been a decline in quality? artists just said, “hey fuck this, we’re not going to do this I have seen pretty shoddy print sales out there- I won’t be anymore and these are our terms if you want to shoot us part of it. It’s just the way I do business. you have to do it our way.” So in the Sixties and Seventies you were more Do you think that the major stock agencies like Getty active? Images and Corbis are beneficial to photographers? Oh yeah! Absolutely. A lot of people probably think I’m Well I have a friend, Kevin Mazur who owns Wire image… fuckin’ dead. I don’t have much use for them, you know, I don’t think they pay the photographers enough. But I have gallery (Laughter) representation in LA, La Jolla, New York, Rotterdam, London, and Tokyo. But it’s minimal. Mainly my prints are It’s just not fun anymore. I’ve recently been to a couple of on my website and at Morrison Hotel galleries in New shows and now they’re so big- everything is like woo. York, La Jolla, and LA. And then there is gallery (Fahey Klein) in LA that represents me too. The Morrison Hotel Completely commercialized. has been the best. All they sell is music photography. Yeah. It’s not fun any more. For me anyways. Maybe I’m Henry Diltz who was one of the members of the modern just to damn old to be doing that crap too. folk quartet is a photographer is one of the owners of the Morrison Hotel Gallery and a few years ago he asked me (Coughs) to have a show at his gallery and I said “yeah of course. Best thing that ever happened. During the 80’s you had some problems with the law. Does your online vault generate a lot of your I’ve had problems with the law my whole life.

I go work well considering you have a long background “ Tommy, that’s not a good number.” of being published in magazines? I think the books in any publishing from my perspective, (Laughs) up my print sales. That’s basically what’s keeping me going now- print sales. I had a very good year last year. Do you think it’s better to have a guy like Bill Graham One of the reasons that music photography, mine, sells around for the music business or for it to be run by is because I think the music of say Miles Davis or Jimi some square in some corporate office somewhere? Hendrix or Johnny Cash means so much to people they Bill Graham type. Absolutely. Bill made a lot of money but want an image of that person to put in their home…and he cared about they music. He did everything the right I’ve got the images. I think that makes a difference and way, he did everything right. He could be difficult but he when people buy a print they get a Jim Marshall that’s did it right. Put on the best shows, best sound system, signed. I only do things one way, the best. I will not everything was top quality. He could be a prick but he compromise on quality. And I think people realize that, was- the thing about Bill, if he gave his word that was it, you know. he was gold- his word was gold. I have a lot of respect for him. 91 and shit, it was, but it’s not anymore. The doors are there You can’t really say that about corporate- for someone that’s good but…maybe I’m just bitter, not Not many of them no. bitter. I have nothing to be bitter about. It’s just the reality of it is people want to work in the music field so much You’re also known for shooting Jazz and Blues greats they will give up a lot of their rights, a lot of their control, like Coltrane, Charles, and BB King to name a few. because they “want to do this”. Well you know what. It Does your shooting style change with the genre of ain’t worth it unless you can do it your way. Occasionally music? some young photographer comes along that’s got a very No. I shoot the same. Whatever I’m doing I’m going to do unique way of seeing and I think that’s going to help. But my way and its just a matter of trying to bring out the best everyone who wants to just go shoot a show, fuck it man. in the person, how you see them. After a while it’s all the same.

The images you have taken are known for capturing So when you do a shoot you hold all the rights? rock musicians in a very candid and relaxed way. Is I own everything I’ve ever shot. I’ve never done a work there a fine line between partying with the musicians for hire, or a buy out. or when you go on a shoot would it be strictly business? (Phone rings) Well I always have a camera with me... Turn it off (jesters to the tape recorder)

But there are times that you just don’t When I first met you and asked you if you would take pictures. I’ve never taken a like to do an interview your response was “why me” (laughter) Do you have anything to say about that? picture of anyone doing coke. That’s No, it doesn’t matter. I’ve been doing this so long my work it, I just don’t do it I’m trusted and you has been out there for years I guess. I’ve got guys that just don’t violate that trust it’s just not come up to me and tell me they’ve grown up looking at your work- shit, like fuckin’ father time here you know. But done. I’m one of the older guys in the business. I’ve been doing it a long time. A friend of mine, David Gahr, he’s 85. He’s I’ve never had a lawyer, a manager, an agent, or an my guru and one of my best friends, like a brother is Berry artist call and complain where I used a picture or which Vitson who lives in Woodstock. Baron Wolman who’s one I used- not once, never. That would not bad on a one of my best friends lives Santa Fe. Michael Zagaris tombstone. lives here in San Francisco. He’s the A’s and the Niners photographer but he’s done music too. We just had a In your hallway I noticed you have a very extensive show in Taos New Mexico and that went very well. I’m collection of other great photographers work. going to have a show in September with Timothy White Yeah. Of the music photographers- Timothy White and in New York at the Morrison Hotel Gallery. What’s unique Anton Corbijn, Mark Seliger. They’re great photographers. about the show is were going to do thirty people, the I got the MoJo award last year in England for MoJo same person, done by each of us twenty to thirty years Magazine and Anton Corbijn presented me the award, apart. That’s going to be fun. you know, and that was nice. Any words of wisdom? (Pointing to his mantle) Just be true to your self! And don’t compromise you know, that’s a problem now that so many young kids gotta make Got a Lucy award, a Bammy, one from Friends of MS. compromises so they can shoot in the music field. That’s We’re doing a Rock and Shop for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) a problem, compromises are made. I fortunately haven’t at the Mondrian Hotel in LA. And getting people to donate made many- actually I don’t think I’ve ever made one… pictures and stuff for MS. My assistant has MS, and we had this thing last year in New York and I think we made 50-60 thousand dollars for her group, not bad.

So given the nature of the music business today do you think a young Jim Marshall in 2007 could have Jim Marshall the same opportunities that you had? I don’t know. I think it’s different. I see so many people want R.I.P to work in the music field cause they think it’s glamorous 1936-2010 Discipline Legend Column Legend PS : Painting/Sculpture G: Glass Art M:More 1. Residency Title 8.
