Waiting for the Siren's Call
by Jolene Torr
Ferris Plock, Kelly Tunstall at 111 Minna Gallery
August 6th - August 29th

There’s always something a bit tragic and sensational about sea stories— that passion for the open sea, for the things that drift away. The sea is the place where men choose to be, where the ladies along the way are as fleeting as ever. A life of squandered happiness. In this husband and wife joint show, “Sea of Love,” Ferris Plock and Kelly Tunstall create men that are wild-eyed, delirious with wanderlust while the women are serene, swan-necked creatures of the sea.
The pieces are... [more]

In So Many Words
by Kristi Beardshear
at Andrea Schwartz Gallery
August 5th - August 28th

I had high hopes for WORD, a group exhibition currently on display at Andrea Schwartz Gallery in SoMa. I was attracted by the directness of the show's title and its promise of art mixed with the written word. Like Danielle Steele, who lent her services as guest curator for this show, I am fascinated with work that combines imagery with text and art with literature, a category rich with thematic variety. I envisioned a show that might, for example, examine the nuanced and often tenuous relationsh... [more]

Before we get into the details of Electric Works' current show “The Cresting Wave: The San Francisco Underground Comix Experience,” let's begin with a little historical context. Underground comix were born in the early 60's, although the genre didn't gain momentum and visibility until later that decade. Drawing inspiration from satirical publications like Mad as well as the prevailing social movements of the time, comix artists embraced subjects like sex, drugs, and political protest. The... [more]

A New Voyeurism

How do you break into a fortress? The days of swimming moats and scaling castle walls are over--today we use the Internet. Like many of us Kink.com leads a private life on its austere, impenetrable facade, but an intensely public life online. Voyeurism has evolved since the days of Hitchcock's Rear Window--the mystery is gone. In 2007 Kink.com, a producer of BDSM videos took up residence in the windowless former National Guard Armory and Arsenal, just half a block from Ratio 3. According to the... [more]

Interim Infills—a 3.5 hour public intervention featuring site-specific work by thirteen artists—took place in what co-curators Sally Szwed and Dan Phelan described as an “underused and underappreciated urban matrix.” Taking the form of a walking tour, the exhibition spanned a complex tangle of roads, ramps, pedestrian walkways, bridges, and meridians above and below the freeway interchange at Cesar Chavez Street and Potrero Avenue in San Francisco. Each work had a fairly ephemeral and porta... [more]

Gone Bonkers

June 20th - August 1st

Sensory overload......voice overs where
the very spirit of life becomes banal and obvious......advertising gone
bonkers.......as if the old road Burma Shave adverts were now so
ubiquitous that they are like howlings .....they are everywhere ...from
the polo shirt he is wearing to the 501 Levis strolling down the mall
corridors .....these moments are hard to avoid......those ads are
filled with homilies and lies.
Fosbergs
seemingly ascerbic point of view actually leads me to believe in her
affection f... [more]
