For the past four years, the Arts Commission has attempted to provide Supervisors and the citizens of San Francisco with a picture of the varied ways that our agency interacts with the public, supports artists and arts organizations, and enriches the quality of life in many neighborhoods throughout the City. Each year we strive to improve upon the quantitative data that we use to capture this rich and complex interaction between City funding and the cultural community, and this year we are pleased to introduce statistical highlights drawn from information provided by San Francisco-based arts organizations to the California Cultural Data Project (CDP).

  • Introducing San Francisco
    © Lonely Planet INTRODUCING SAN FRANCISCO A cable car trundles along Hyde St, with Alcatraz (p62) in the background Grab your coat and a handful of glitter, and you’re good to go in San Francisco. Here antics usually re- served for holidays and disco theme nights erupt spontaneously, and when all that damp fog and sheer delight hits you, this town will give you goose bumps. What with all the earthquakes and daydreamers, this peninsula keeps only a tentative hold on the planet, not to mention the continental US. But as any San Franciscan will point out, gravity is overrated anyway. With 43 hills and a population of free thinkers, crafty inventors and weirdos passing as normal, this city stubbornly refuses to be brought down to earth. Instead, reality is forced to rise to the occasion, with flocks of wild parrots taking to the treetops, ingenious meals by rising star chefs, and poets who just keep on riffing until their words take flight. San Francisco’s stratospheric booms and crashing busts aren’t for the faint of heart, but as anyone who’s clung onto the side of a cable car will tell you, this town gives one hell of a ride. SAN FRANCISCO LIFE Many visitors have the same first reaction to San Francisco as to the Mona Lisa: can it really be so small? This seven-by-seven-mile peninsula looms much larger in the imagination than it does in reality. Earthquakes and capricious city rules that limit building higher than the tip of the Transamerica Pyramid have forced big-name architects to get creative with small-scale museums, resulting in Mario Botta’s kaleidoscopic SFMOMA, Herzog & de Meuron’s copper-clad MH de Young Memorial Museum oxidizing green to match Golden Gate Park, and Renzo Piano’s 2 wildflower-domed, Hobbit Moderne design for the California Academy of Sciences.

  • A Martyr in the Archive: the Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk's Suit
    A Martyr in the Archive: The Life and Afterlife of Harvey Milk’s Suit Jordy Jones ‘If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.’ (Harvey Milk, from audiotape to be played only upon the event of his assassination) What is writing? Staining sheets. While e´criture is understood as operating on a symbolic level, the physical act of mark-making is grounded in materiality. Ink on paper, cum on the bedspread and bloody clothing of all sorts share the pull of the gaze. These things, like all things, look back. The psyche, being invisible, keeps its secrets better than the body, but it too leaks, and it also peeks. The writing, the writer and the written are not so discrete. They overlap. The writer is as much a text as the written. Sudden exclamations can interrupt the most banal texts. ‘Bang!’ When Harvey Milk declared that the fatal bullet should ‘destroy every closet door,’ he was advocating a very specific course of action associated with an entirely hypothetical scenario, which, in fact, came to pass. In retrospect, the words seemed prescient, their predictive, productive, performative character lending fuel to the eventual mythologizing of the man Milk. Roland Barthes asked whether ‘for some perverts the sentence is a body?’ (1975: 51) Nearly four decades later, this question has lost much of its novelty. The sentence is, or can be, a body. The relationship between the body, the world and the word is always already technologized. The body can be a sentence, or an entire text, or an accumulation of texts.
