Crisis Moments
by Jolene Torr
Pawel Kruk at David Cunningham Projects
August 20th - September 19th
Posted
8/23/09
Entering artist Pawel Kruk’s exhibit is to bear a tense atmosphere; I’m not sure if each piece really peeled away layers of the artist’s (and spectator’s) personal anxiety or if each piece added to the anxiousness of the one before it.
When I walked in, a man was seated at a table under round lights, heavy and clinical like lights in the OR or an interrogation room. There was a TV set with a man reciting contemplations on art, distance, solitude and the material world; the audi... [more]

Free Diamonds
by Katie Farrell
Elyse Mallouk at Triple Base Gallery
May 15th - July 26th
Posted
7/19/09
It is hard to escape the symbolism of diamonds: love, eternity, power. It is also difficult to ignore their realities: war, murder, slave labor. Filled with digitally printed and cut-out images of diamonds, Elyse Mallouk's Trickle-down: Yours for the Mining at Triple Base investigates the dichotomies inherent in value and art. Gems fall, drip and dance down the walls of the gallery's basement. Descending into the damp, dark cellar, the installation brings to mind the Goonies' search for treasure... [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]

Is it art?
by Michelle Y. Hyun
Posted
7/11/09
A curious amassing of objects occupies a storefront window near 22nd and Guerrero Streets in San Francisco. Within, a green glass lamp fixture, a random light bulb, colorful Pez candy dispensers, upside down hand painted pottery, and household objects are periodically shifted and rotated in and out, serving as guest stars to an ever-present painting of an orange tiger, standing against a bright red and blue background. The painting remains propped up against the right wall and the tiger’... [more]

Sort of Nature
by Montgomery Rene
Castaneda/Reiman, Kathryn Spence at Stephen Wirtz Gallery
June 11th - August 22nd
Posted
6/13/09
On my way towards downtown, for the opening of two shows at the Stephen Wirtz Gallery (places we have never been and Cloudless White), I found myself with pleasant weather and a relaxing stroll through San Francisco's Botanical Gardens. I also encountered an eager squirrel who tried to climb my body five times, before I finally had to leave its vicinity to avoid what else would happen once it's cute 'lil paws scampered higher up than my knee (just say no to rabies). As cool and surreal as suc... [more]

Intergalactic, Silver Boot Wearer
by Montgomery Rene
Helen Gilbert at asiwouldsay gallery
June 12th - August 7th
Posted
6/13/09
It was Helen Gilbert's first solo show, and she wore silver boots especially. Or not. I get the feeling that Helen would wear those space-y, hand-(her hand) made boots to grab a tin of baking soda from the corner store. That was a compliment. Silver boots, baking soda and Helen's paintings in Nature of the Protagonist: the opening night was explosive indeed with asiwouldsay's usual live music promises fulfilled. Nature of the Protagonist is an exhibition of not only Helen's aesthetic vibrations... [more]

Chinatown is a flurry of storefronts and enterprising hawkers selling imported goods out of the box, right there on the sidewalk. As a satellite of the exhibition, Present TENSE Biennial – Chinese Character-, presented by the Chinese Culture Center on Kearny Street, nine storefront windows facing the bustling streets of Chinatown contain artist installations. The installations themselves are curious— Imin Yeh’s random household objects wrapped in patterned cloth, which quietly comm... [more]
