CHEWY ON ICE Local skateboarder, artist and avid hockey fan reimagines Sharks forward Brent Burns as Chewbacca in his upcoming show at Seeing Things Gallery.
Shark Art Jason Adams grew up skating the concrete wastelands of San Jose and eventually went pro. He became a Sharks fan because he identified with the sport. Similarities emerged right off the bat. Also, as an artist, Adams is known for gritty, stencil-based, multilayered, skater-influenced visual art, although he rarely goes out of his way to do a solo show here in town. But as natural creative geniuses all know, the aha! moment can come from anywhere, even if it’s rabid sports fandom. Now is one of those rare times. This Friday at Blood Sweat and Teal Seeing Things Gallery, Adams will debut his highest profile show to date—Blood, Sweat and April 3-April 30, Free Teal. Approximately 30 paintings of San Jose Seeing Things Gallery, Sharks players will be on display. People will show San Jose up, skateboards in hand, to witness what Adams seeingthingsgallery.com says is probably his biggest endeavor so far in his career. Rather than simply put together another oneoff art show, on another corner of downtown San Jose for the hundredth time, Adams felt like tapping into San Jose at a much deeper level. So he began painting his favorite Sharks players, former and current. “Usually my stuff is more emotionally driven and it’s for me, but this show is pretty much geared toward the players,” Adams said. “So I think it’s a little different. Usually when I do something, I try to get a feel for who I’m doing a portrait of, but this is basically me doing more detailed work, doing portraits of the players I enjoy.” So look for Joe Thornton, beaten and bruised, still with the Captain’s ‘C’ on his jersey. Brent Burns is reimagined as Chewbacca. Both fans and non-fans will appreciate the passion that Adams has for his hometown team. Even better, the Sharks organization is fully dialed in to the project. This is only the beginning. You’ll probably see it on their social media channels, far and wide. This is exactly the kind of thing that should be happening in a real city: The local team inspiring artistic creativity. “Sometimes as an artist you have a desire to create work and you just need that initial spark of an idea,” said Adams. “Sometimes it’s deeper and sometimes it’s not. This is actually turning into my biggest project to date, just due to the fact that the Sharks are totally backing it. And it’ll probably get the most exposure that I’ve ever had.”—Gary Singh

REVIEW
DR. JE JEKYLL EKYLL AND MR. HYDE/THE SMILING SMILI ING LIEUTENANT
RUNNING TOWARD THE FIRE The Oscar-nominated ‘Salt of the Earth’ celebrates the work of the photographer Sebastiao Salgado, who was drawn to documenting conflict, like a moth to a flame.
Witness WHAT’S SAID ABOUT firemen could be said of the Brazilian Sebastiao Salgado, a bald, bushy-eyebrowed photojournalist: where most people run from a conflagration, he runs into it. Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire) and the photographer’s son, Juliano, discuss Salgado’s journey, as well as visit the land where this indefatigable traveler has finally come to rest. The elder Salgado explains his work in the excellent French he picked up while he was living in Paris, as an exile from the fascist junta that ran Brazil in the 1970s. Raised on a big cattle ranch on the Rio Dulce in Minas Gerais state, he left to become an economist. After they left Brazil, his wife gave him a camera. Thus, Salgado quit his job and became a commercial photographer, a vocation that continued when he returned to Brazil. The Salt of the Earth starts with images pilfered and much diluted for the finale of The Mask of Zorro (1998): the gold mines in the Serra Polada, a human swarm of 50,000 digging a vast crater with nothing but shovels and makeshift ladders. “Here, I have an idea of this planet,” Wenders says in voiceover. Salgado captured images of the drought that cleared Brazil’s farmlands. In some
north Brazilian towns, the people were so poor that they rented coffins for their dead children. The photographer made numerous trips to Africa during the course of the various upheavals, photos collected in the collection Sahel: The End of the Road. Sometimes he accompanied Medecins Sans Frontieres to the Salt of the Earth tent clinics, where the doctors treated PG-13, 110 Min. deliberately starved Opens April 3 at refugees from Ethiopia, Camera 3 and the escapees from the slaughter in Rwanda. The images here include cadavers of Coptic refugees, as dry and frail as dead leaves, washed, nude, bound with twine, in photos as loving and tragic as any Deposition of Christ. Salgado isn’t moisteyed. He has a point. It wasn’t all futility. Some of the starving were saved, and the doctors did good work. After capturing these images, we see how he spent his more recent years. It’s as remarkable as the last act of Matisse’s career: Salgado became a nature photographer determined to see the places on earth untouched by man, and he’s working on a successful project to preserve the land he comes from. —Richard von Busack

Youth Group FOR MANY LOCAL ADOLESCENTS, music provides a positive and safe outlet for self-expression and stress relief. However, due to continuing cuts to local education dollars, many local schools have dramatically scaled back arts programs, or cut them altogether—leaving our communities neediest youth without access to music. But thanks to the Youth Connections Foundation of San Jose, one group of local musicians are gearing up to release a professionally produced album on iTunes. The EP, titled Oxygen, will feature hip-hop, soul and rap. It was created by San Jose middle school and high school participants in the YCF’s Underserved and Gifted program—an after-school program aimed at helping the city’s less fortunate teens achieve their artistic ambitions. For the majority of the young musicians working on the album, Oxygen represents a breath of fresh air, and perhaps a fresh start. “For most of our youth, this is the first release of their lives and will create a standard for them as they move into their own careers,” says Ronnie Lee, executive producer of Oxygen.

Lee says the youth involved in the project not only got the opportunity to express themselves, they also got a chance to see how professional musicians work. The group took a trip to Studio Trilogy in San Francisco last summer—where artists including Kanye West and Lady Gaga have recorded. They used the studio to record the produce and record the song “Medicated.”

“This project is everything Underserved and Gifted stands for, a professional album created by talented young artists produced by Ronnie, a professional and talented artist,” Solis said. “The young artists a part of this project have made their dreams and goals a reality and have grown so much professionally." Yvan Gonzalez, a 19-year-old producer and media mentor with the Underserved and Gifted program at the Alma Community Center, says he is looking forward to the release of Oxygen. Gonzalez, who is featured on the EP’s sixth track, says he has faced adversity growing up in San Jose’s Alma neighborhood. Yet, while he and many of the other musicians featured on Oxygen may have come from a place where they feel underserved, he says they are all gifted. The album is scheduled for an April 27 release on iTunes, but it will be available for pre-order starting April 3.—Maryah Samarron

ODD COUPLE MC Donwill of hip-hop duo Tanya Morgan says he views his group and its fans as an ‘island of misfit toys.’
Old School
BACK IN 2003, when Cincinnati MC Donwill and Brooklyn MC/producer Von Pea settled on naming their duo Tanya Morgan, they intended it as a goof—an inside joke about a record store clerk attempting to trick customers into buying a hip-hop album disguised as a ’50s soul record. At the time, the pair never expected to make another album together. “We planned the album as a one-off deal,” Donwill says, speaking on his cell phone last week.“I thought I was gonna be Nelly; Von thought he was gonna be Pete Rock.” It’s more than a decade on now and he and Von Pea are still working together. In fact, at the very moment of our conversation, you could say they are literally stuck together— in a car, with a just-fixed flat tire, somewhere in the middle of Wyoming.. These days, Donwill says, the name still retains its original meaning, but he adds that it has also become “a rallying cry.”
Tanya Morgan Apr 2, 8pm, $10 Back Bar SoFa, San Jose
“So many people got behind it,” Donwill says. Today, he views the name and his group as a collective gathering space for those who never quite felt like they fit in—“an island of misfit toys.” Upon listening to Tanya Morgan’s extensive catalog—the group has released 10 albums in 15 years, and the individual MCs have also dropped solo recordings—you can hear that tension, that feeling of otherness, of being an outsider. Just consider Rubber Souls, Tanya Morgan’s 2013 LP. On the album’s lead track, “For Real,” Eric B and Rakim are name-checked, along with the year 1994—the year Nas released Illmatic and Biggie dropped Ready to Die. And song No. 4, “Never Too Much,” features the distinctive ping of an 808 cowbell. Both songs have some serious boom-bap and are reminiscent of the so-called “golden era” of New York City hip-hop. Songs like these stand in sharp contrast to what’s hot right now—the triling, machine-gun hi-hats of Southern rap, and the bombastic lyricism and minimalist beats of Rae Sremmurd and Bobby Shmurda. Von Pea says he and Donwill aren’t trying to make any kind of statement about what sounds better by hewing to this sonic palate. “It’s more or less what we know, really,” he says, explaining that the “golden era” jams of Tribe Called Quest, Common and others were the sounds they grew up listening to. On the group’s forthcoming LP, You Get What You Pay For, due out later this year, Von Pea and Donwill say they will be sticking to their boom-bap guns, but will move away from the live instrumentation of Rubber Souls in favor of a samples-based approach—akin to what the duo did on the 2011 album You & What Army. —Nick Veronin
