Over the past year a community of art galleries has emerged on 16th Street, Utah Street, and Potrero Avenue, with roughly a half-dozen exhibitspacesnowonoffer.Thecluster hasreplacedValenciaand16thstreets as a key artist hub, as galleries and shops in that area steadily close or move. Recent arrivals to Potrero Hill include the George Lawson Gallery , Jack Fisher Gallery , Catherine Clark Gallery, Brian Gross Fine Art , and Hosfelt Gallery . And the California College for the Arts’ Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts and Artitud arewithinwalkingdistance.

“The Potrero neighborhood and adjacent Dogpatch and Mission are desirableareasofSanFrancisco,with

a healthy blend of cultural venues, educationalinstitutions,residents,de signbusinesses,andnonprofits.Itwas therefore a compelling neighborhood for us to consider for the re-location of the gallery,” said Catharine Clark, of her gallery. “The addition of new and more galleries deepens the many reasons people already are drawn to the area, and expands our audience to include patrons who may have avoideddowntowninrecentyearsdue tocongestion,traffic,lackofparking, andnoise.”

“InitiallyIpickedPotrerobecause this is where I found a building that would work; a space that had the right volume, light, accessibility, and affordability to support the gallery’s program,” said Lawson. “After my experience in Los Angeles with a

“The Potrero location has not changedthefocusoftheartweshow,” added Lawson. “Our commitment to contemporary painting on an inter national scope is only strengthened by the ease and economy with which we can mount exhibitions in the new space.

The word “power fu l” doesn’t do justice to Bianca Cabrera’s new production, The Aftermath Affair , at ODC Theatre. With an all-female company of 16 dancers, known as the Blind Tiger Society, an original soundtrack composed by Ben Juod valkis, Aftermath is an astounding tour de force and brilliant calling card for Cabera and Juodvlkis, two rising stars of the Bay Area dance world.

Theresultofyearsofcollabora tion, Aftermath is a visceral, theat rical work that bristles and aches with intensity, virtuosity, and sub -

limity. Imagine post-Burning Man, Nine Inch Nails-styled industrial tracks colliding with mesmerizing soundscapes; dancers with the deli cacy, precision, and athleticism of Baryshnikovmeltingandexploding intoeachothers’bodieswithatomic energy.

tells a profound and timeless story of the human struggle to survive, balanci ng i nter nal and ex ter nal forces. Jodvalkis’ lush beats and someti mes eleg iac score a re t he per fect complement to Cabrera’s propulsive, exhaustive creativity.

TransformingConcreteintoOpenSpace TODAY

TOMORROW

Rec-re-a-tion (noun) - a pastime, diversion, exercise, or other resource affording relaxation and enjoyment.

C

urrently 1601 Mariposa is used as a parking lot, diesel bus depot and the Mackenzie auto parts warehouse. Our plan for this mixed-use development is to transform much of this industrial area into a beautiful and accessible public open space and a flexible neighborhood gathering place where the community and residents can read, exercise, catch up with friends, organize children’s playdates and congregate for community events and activities.

One of the hallmark features of 1601 Mariposa is over 21,000 square feet that make up the Midblock Mews, the publicly accessible greenway leading to Jackson Playground which allows for convenient pedestrian access from 18th Street to Mariposa Street. The Mews is thoughtfully designed to encourage child’s play and community engagement such

as farmers markets or movie nights. We will be using sustainable landscaping, planting new trees and hearty plants, improving street drainage, and creating public seating areas and dynamic formations to transform this parking lot into an engaging outdoor space the whole community can enjoy.

Additionally there will also be two parklets on the corners of Mariposa & Carolina and 18th & Arkansas along with courtyards, gardens and terraces reserved for residents – all adding up to over 39,000 square feet of open space. This is nearly twice the required amount because we feel it creates a happier and healthier environment, reflecting the true San Franciscan lifestyle. That’s definitely something that will all make us breathe a little easier.

This is one in series of updates we will be providing to the community.

1601Mariposa

Stay tuned for an upcoming community charrette where participants are invited to help us in our landscaping selections! For more information about the proposed project and to contact us, please visit www.1601mariposa.com.

TheWattisInstituteHelpsInvigoratetheHill’sArtScene

BY TERRI COHN

Pot re ro H i l l has e me rge d as an impor tant node in San F ran cisco’s vibrant art scene. As noted in “Potrero Emerges as Art Hub” in this issue, over the past year the Catherine Clark, Todd Hosfelt, and Brian Gross galleries have relocated to a renovated building at 260 Utah Street, and Jack Fisher and George Lawsonhaveopenednewgallerieson Potrero Avenue. In addition, the San Francisco Center for the Book—lo catedonDeHaroStreetforseventeen years—recently moved to a newly designed,expandedspacearoundthe corneronRhode Island Street.

Adding to the vitality of the arts on the Hill has been the relocation oftheCaliforniaCollegeoftheArts’ Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, Kent and Vicki Logan Galler ies, to 360 Kansas Street. This new gallery space, which was redesigned and completed in 2013, is walking distance from Eighth Street, where CCA built its San Francisco campus inthemid-1990s.TheWattisInstitute hosts exhibitions and discussions focusing on contemporary art, and provides training opportunities for CCAstudentsinvolvedinthecurato rial practiceprogram.

The Wattis Institute’s new loca tion has improved its potential to con nect w ith the neighborhood’s lively street life. According to Rita Souther, Wattis Institute programs coordinator, in addition to students, working artists, and art profession als, a great number of the Institute’s visitors are people who walk in off the street. With its large street front windows that permit viewing of the gallery, the new Wattis naturally at tracts attention during open hours.

This encouraged local residents to explorethespaceduringitsfirstyear.

Attendance has grown with aware ness of the gallery’s exhibitions and

accompanyingprograms,allofwhich arefree to the public.

The Institute’s current curato rial vision is a continuation of the programming that was planned for the gallery while it was still on the CCA campus, where it was created in 1998. This included establishing arelationshipwiththeMissionDis trict-based Kadist Art Foundation.

In2013,Kadistcreatedafellowship programforaCCAstudent,whowill work with the Kadist Foundation, Paris, to create programming that willtakeplaceattheWattisInstitute.

HeidiRabben,thecurrentKadist Curatorial Fellow, chose an artist from the Kadist collection for the current Wattis exhibition and pub -

lication, titled Provisional Realities .

SheselectedDariaMartin,aLondonbased ar tist originally from San Francisco, who has been exploring the intensive relationship between objects,subjects,andrealityin film.

Inconsideringhowsomething—such as an object or film — becomes part of and is absorbed into a collection, Martinbecameinterestedinshowing her work with artist Susan Hiller, an American-born artist who is also

a longtime London resident. Like Martin, Hiller’s films address ques tions concerning reality, phenomena suchasautomaticwriting,andlevels ofconsciousness,andthebody,allof which work to shift viewers’ ideas about dreams, memory, and percep tion. Both artists’ works operate in conceptual and perceptual spaces between conscious, u nconscious, WATTISpage23

“Comevisit,andcomevisitoften,” invitedMarcD’Estout,theMuseumof CraftandDesign’scurator.D’Estout,a wiry man sporting a salt-and-pepper Van Dyke beard, radiates passion for themuseum.The10-year-oldmuseum was located downtown for a number of years but had been temporarily homeless before moving to Dogpatch lastApril.D’Estoutenthusedthatthe neighborhoodis“richwithcreativeen ergy.TheSanFranciscoArtInstitute’s GraduateCenterisupstairs,Workshop Residence is nearby on 22nd Street, and the neighborhood is changing.”

He proudly pointed out the museum’s much larger space, with its flexible gallery configuration, high ceilings, andLEDspotlights.

D’Estout cu rated the cu r rent exhibition ObsessiveReductive ,which isonviewthroughMarch30 .Thisgroup exhibition showcases 18 local and nationalartists,includingDrewDaly, Brian Dettmer, and Jim Dingilian.

“They take the process to different extremes, intricately, precisely, and “obsessively” removing material by handtocreateextraordinaryimagery in works that involve astonishingly complex patterns or form,” D’Estout explainedinhiscuratorialstatement.

“In many cases, the use of material absence is employed as a significant design component, positioning nega tivespaceasthedominantelementin thework.”

A found chair, hand-sanded for more than 300 hours by Daly, seems to be disappearing before one’s eyes.

Many of the other artists spent as much time, or more, hand-crafting their work, meticulously removing material to create an unexpectedly visual experience. Although much of the work is paper-based, there are notableexceptions.FarnazShadravan, who also works as a dental assistant, removedtheporcelainfromfourfull-

In the museum’s larger gallery A Sense of Balance: The Sculpture of Stoney Lamar is on exhibit through March 23. The exhibition serves as a retrospective of the artist William

StoneyLamar,basedinSaluda,North Carolina. Guest Curator Andrew GlasgowoftheAshevilleArtMuseum described Lamar’s process, “Crafted primarilythroughauniqueapproach to multi-axial lathe work, Lamar’s wood sculptures embody a distinct

senseoflineandmovement.Occasion allyputtingpaintandmetaltousein his works, Lamar frequently allows the shape, color, and modeling of the wood to determine a piece’s finished appearance.”Thoughstillquiteactive, Lamar’s work changed after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

The show includes some of his new and experimental pieces. Renowned local exhibit designer Ted Cohen is responsibleforbothinstallations.

D’Estout highlighted upcoming shows: The Tag Project by Wendy Maruyama, an installation referenc ing Executive Order 9066; as well as an exhibit showcasing the work of Tel Aviv designer Peddy Mergui.

As might be expected, the museum’s well-stocked gift shop features items expertlychosenfortheirrelationship to design and craft: toys, home décor, books,jewelry,accessories,andmore.

It’saperfectcomplementtotheexperi ence,asarethefrequentprogramsfor bothadultsandchildren.AsD’Estout suggested, this museum merits visits, andrepeatvisits.

Museum of Craft & Design is at 2569 Third Street, between 22nd and 23rdstreets.http://www.sfmcd.org/.

BY JIM VAN BUSKIRK

Hao Wu lived in Potrero Hill for only a few years, while commuting to Excite.com in Silicon Valley, but the experience made a lasting impression on him. He has fond memories of the neighborhood, where he still visits manyfriendsandformercolleagues.

With a degree in molecular biol ogy from Brandeis University and a masters of business administration from the University of Michigan, Wu entered the technology industry. But his heart was always in storytelling.

Wu’sfirstfilm,BeijingorBust ,docu mented the experiences of six diverse “ABC”s–American-bornChinese–who left their American jobs and families to make a home in Beijing. His latest documentary, The Road to Fame , chroniclesthestagingoftheAmerican musical Fame,China’sfirstofficialcol laborationwithBroadwaybythesenior class at Central Academy of Drama, China’smostprestigioustheaterschool.

Wu heard about the production from a friend, and was pleasantly surprisedtobeallowedunprecedented access to the proceedings; Chinese educationalinstitutionsareoftenvery protective of their students’ privacy.

During the eight-month filming pro cess in 2009, Wu followed students as theycompetedforroles,struggledwith pressure from family and authorities, and prepared to graduate into a cut throatandcorruptshowbusiness.Part of China’s single-child generation, many of the students were spoiled

growing up but now feel obliged to carry on the failed dreams of their parents.Thefilmfocusesonfiveyoung adults who must confront complex socialrealitiesandtheirownanxieties, and, in the process of staging Fame , negotiatetheirowndefinitionsofand pathstosuccessintoday’sChina.

While creating the documentary Wu also worked in Beijing, first for alibaba.com,andthenfortripadvisor. com, filming during evenings and weekends.Lackingtimetoedit,heput the film on hold until he quit his day jobattheendof2011.

Nolongerinthetechnologyindus try, Wu now devotes himself fulltime to filmmaking, dividing his time betweenBeijingandNewYork,where his partner is in the finance industry.

When the View spoke to him Wu was in Mexico participating in a fellow ship program sponsored by the New America Foundation, “a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute that invests in new thinkers and new ideastoaddressthenextgenerationof challengesfacingtheUnitedStates.”

Wu is dedicated to storytelling, specifically showing the complexities of contemporary China. He believes it’s important for Americans, and especiallyCalifornians,tohaveamore nuancedunderstandingoftheChinese people,otherthanthegood/badimages portrayedinmainstreammedia. isbeingbroadcastonpublictele vision in England, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Israel.
