"title": "Stuck in a Perpetual and Furious Refrain: The Work of Brent Green",
"headTitle": "Stuck in a Perpetual and Furious Refrain: The Work of Brent Green | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>On the surface, there isn’t much to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/press/release/TXT0258\">Perpetual and Furious Refrain\u003c/a>, Brent Green’s solo show at the Berkeley Art Museum’s MATRIX Gallery. The bulk of the show consists of film clips, not to mention one plus-sized, kinetic sculpture: a giant phonograph that uses a choir of interconnected, figurative sculptures as its mouthpiece. Based on these few items, I’m meant to question what it means to create, to love, to hope and believe, which I do — mostly because of the films — but I’m not sure I like the implications of Green’s answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walking into the gallery, the first thing a visitor experiences is the looping soundtrack of the choir (based on a style of singing called \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJCC4Nrvvw0\">shape-note singing\u003c/a>), followed closely by the impression of somehow stumbling upon a grove of undulating trees, except they’re not trees, but very, very tall people, cut out of wood. Munch’s figure from \u003ca href=\"http://thinkwinemarketing.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/1893_edvard_munch_the_scream-wr400.jpg\">The Scream\u003c/a>would not look out of place next to these giants, except for the fact that they all have gramophone horns where their mouths should be and are connected by long, copper tubes to grooves cut into a horizontally-placed, plastic tub, about 5 feet in diameter. It’s a version of one of the first forms of sound-recording technology (Edison’s wax cylinder), and its ceaseless rotation means that none of those choir members (nor the viewer) ever gets a break. No wonder one of them looks like he’s flipping me off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sculpture (and the exhibit) correspond with the Pacific Film Archive’s screening of Green’s film, \u003ca href=\"http://gravitywaseverywherebackthen.blogspot.com/\">Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then\u003c/a>, on June 16 and is more of a must-see than the exhibit, if just for its unique visuals and custom-built sets. Green, a Pennsylvania-based filmmaker, has garnered well-deserved attention over the last few years for his \u003ca href=\"?http://www.site.nervousfilms.com/multimedia/%22\">stop-motion animated shorts\u003c/a>. Dark and wistful, the films flicker and jump and stutter as Green’s crackly voice narrates modern-day parables (based on his own writings) over melancholic soundtracks, managing to mix Jan Svankmajer with William Kentridge and a heavy dose of neo-Folk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gravity\u003c/b> is Green’s first full-length stop-motion film. It tells the story of Leonard Wood, a hardware store clerk who quits his job to build a house specially adapted to heal his wife (Mary) from cancer. Even after Mary’s death in 1972, Leonard continued building, until a fall off the roof forced him to sell the house to pay for his subsequent confinement in a local nursing home. The house was demolished, but Green obtained the plans and rebuilt the entire structure on his property in Pennsylvania, which is where \u003cb>Gravity\u003c/b> was filmed.

The bulk of the show consists of film clips, not to mention one plus-sized, kinetic sculpture: a giant phonograph that uses a choir of interconnected, figurative sculptures as its mouthpiece. Based on these few items, I’m meant to question what it means to create, to love, to hope and believe, which I do — mostly because of the films — but I’m not sure I like the implications of Green’s answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walking into the gallery, the first thing a visitor experiences is the looping soundtrack of the choir (based on a style of singing called \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJCC4Nrvvw0\">shape-note singing\u003c/a>), followed closely by the impression of somehow stumbling upon a grove of undulating trees, except they’re not trees, but very, very tall people, cut out of wood. Munch’s figure from \u003ca href=\"http://thinkwinemarketing.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/1893_edvard_munch_the_scream-wr400.jpg\">The Scream\u003c/a>would not look out of place next to these giants, except for the fact that they all have gramophone horns where their mouths should be and are connected by long, copper tubes to grooves cut into a horizontally-placed, plastic tub, about 5 feet in diameter. It’s a version of one of the first forms of sound-recording technology (Edison’s wax cylinder), and its ceaseless rotation means that none of those choir members (nor the viewer) ever gets a break. No wonder one of them looks like he’s flipping me off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sculpture (and the exhibit) correspond with the Pacific Film Archive’s screening of Green’s film, \u003ca href=\"http://gravitywaseverywherebackthen.blogspot.com/\">Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then\u003c/a>, on June 16 and is more of a must-see than the exhibit, if just for its unique visuals and custom-built sets. Green, a Pennsylvania-based filmmaker, has garnered well-deserved attention over the last few years for his \u003ca href=\"?http://www.site.nervousfilms.com/multimedia/%22\">stop-motion animated shorts\u003c/a>. Dark and wistful, the films flicker and jump and stutter as Green’s crackly voice narrates modern-day parables (based on his own writings) over melancholic soundtracks, managing to mix Jan Svankmajer with William Kentridge and a heavy dose of neo-Folk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gravity\u003c/b> is Green’s first full-length stop-motion film. It tells the story of Leonard Wood, a hardware store clerk who quits his job to build a house specially adapted to heal his wife (Mary) from cancer. Even after Mary’s death in 1972, Leonard continued building, until a fall off the roof forced him to sell the house to pay for his subsequent confinement in a local nursing home. The house was demolished, but Green obtained the plans and rebuilt the entire structure on his property in Pennsylvania, which is where \u003cb>Gravity\u003c/b> was filmed. The film is as much about Green’s project (the recreation) as it is about Leonard’s (the original construction), and it is by paralleling their labors that Green investigates what it means to believe, to create, and to love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite my inclinations to let go and enjoy Green’s works, I found myself unable to embrace them. Green tends to romanticize the archetypal creator: Edison, Noah, Leonard Wood, and even himself — the composer/builder of the perpetual and furious refrain from which the choir can’t escape. Even more unsettling — for me — are the moments of naive righteousness, which hint that there are some ways of being an artist and maker that are purer than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2005, Modernbook has also been publishing handsome, limited edition, hardbound books to accompany many of these shows, including a pair each by Fan Ho and Maggie Taylor.

Sometimes he invites us to take a local’s view of a famous landmark, such as in “Coit Tower, Castle Street” from 1947. In this moody night shot, a narrow strip of unpopulated pavement, flanked on either side by modest, wooden facades, serves as a kind of runway for Coit Tower, which is illuminated in the background.

I love the guy on the right, his trousers pulled up high, a wide-brimmed fedora on his head, thumbs hooked into the waist of his pants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there are the photos of the city’s hills, which are often peopled to dramatize their steep slopes. In “Forbidden Parking” from 1953, a police officer is ticketing a car parked at a right angle to the tightly packed buildings marching down the hill.

It’s very common for people to not have an intimate relationship with art. So that was part of my inspiration to make it public. I think art has the power to really affect people deeply, so I wanted to put it where people could see it, because not that many people I knew were going to museums and galleries. I started to think I wanted to change my world with art. Like Bertolt Brecht, I wanted it to be a hammer to shake reality, not a mirror to reflect it. I wanted to get invested and change the world. ‘Let me tell you about how something’s messed up, and let me make this analysis.’ Over time I started to realize that wasn’t necessarily changing the world. I started thinking, ‘Well, if I want the world to be more peaceful, let me make things that are more peaceful.’ Or, ‘If I want the world to be more inclusive, let me make things that are inclusive.'” \u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/brett-cook-3.jpg\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>What are some global issues that you address in your work?\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My work used to be much more focused on incidents, somehow thinking the analysis would change the environment.

I’m interested in highlighting those relationships that exist, or cultivating awareness that we are in relationships. Oftentimes when we do disservices to each other, it’s because we don’t see ourselves in each other. Like, ‘You speak a different language than me, you have a different amount of money than I do, or your car looks different that mine.’ All these things that are about how I can separate myself from you, so that when I’m hurting you, I don’t realize that I’m hurting myself. My work is trying to build these ways for people to see themselves in each other. We spend a lot more time in our society actualizing our differences rather than reaffirming our relationships. ‘I live in Oakland, you live in San Francisco,’ or ‘I like the A’s, you like the Giants.’ It’s endless. ‘Your bike has one gear, mine has fifteen.’ I’m interested in how we make these ways to reaffirm that truth that we’re really related.

"headTitle": "Clare Rojas: We They, We They | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Creating unmitigated beauty for the eyes and ears, Clare Rojas is a revolutionary presence. And for the next three months, she graces the Museum of Craft & Folk Art with a stunner of a show called \u003cb>We They, We They\u003c/b>. Organized in collaboration with Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, England, where a similar iteration of the show was presented earlier this year, the exhibition has been remixed in true DIY style, and re-installed locally, in the city where Rojas lives and works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On opening night in San Francisco, Rojas performed a handful of songs under her stage name, Peggy Honeywell. Peggy wears a disarming wig and appears to have stepped right out of a Clare Rojas painting with her guitar in hand. In my household, Peggy Honeywell is on par with Johnny Cash. Her folksy songs transport me to a timeless place where judgments are tabled, and stories are told with unwavering charm and insight. Her artwork goes hand-and-hand with her music, sharing themes and essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O70OWck06zE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b]\u003cbr>\u003ci>Video shot by Elizabeth Pepin\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The location of Rojas’s exhibition shouldn’t be a surprise. Her work belongs in a museum. It’s atypical for an exhibition to travel from a fine art gallery to a folk art museum, but rather than dwell on how Clare Rojas fits into the folk/fine art continuum, let’s just indulge in her work. It’s meant to be enjoyed and savored, because it’s empowering, especially for those who understand that women are over-objectified and undervalued in most societies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/rojas-1.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the counterculture art scene, too many female artists gain recognition by painting doe-eyed, sexy girls who are supposed to be considered powerful because they use perceived innocence and sexuality as weapons. I don’t buy it, and I see Rojas’s work as the antithesis of that trend. We should all pay attention to what she is trying to tell us. She’s not going to hand it to you on a TV dinner tray — you might crave more explanation when it comes to her work — but if you spend time critically viewing her imagery, you’ll understand her motives. In addition to framed works, and wall-sized quilts of paintings on salvaged wood, also on view are three videos that help drive home her message (all three were produced with artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright). One is a music video for Peggy Honeywell’s “Bower Bird,” in which the singer performs solemnly during a testosterone-fueled keg party, sticking out like a sore thumb in her beehive wig and red country dress. On \u003ca href=\"http://peggyhoneywell.blogspot.com/2010/02/peggy-video-by-andrew-jeffrey-wright.html\">Peggy’s blog\u003c/a> she says the video shows how she feels when performing at art openings, but she’s also commenting on frat party culture. In the other videos, fashion magazine pages become obscured with animated doodles — objectified women’s heads turn into fish, their skinny arms are stretched or fattened — she is critiquing advertising’s sexism in an approachable, funny way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/rojas-2.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003cbr>Photo: Alan Bamberger\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Men are noticeably underrepresented in Rojas’s latest paintings. When they appear, they look vulnerable. In one large piece, male faces are blocked as they run up the long tongue of a giant, old world woman, with piles of offerings in their arms. But don’t call her a man-hater. Rojas is merely trying to tip the scales back into balance. After all, before the ’60s, art history books would have you believe that women never, ever made art. It was only 25 years ago that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.guerrillagirls.com/posters/getnaked.shtml\">Guerilla Girls\u003c/a> called out the rampant discrimination in museums. And women are still paid \u003ca href=\"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1983185,00.html\">significantly less\u003c/a> than men for the same job in any field. When I look at Clare Rojas’s work, with its mysterious narrative and vintage aesthetic, I cross my fingers that one day our children will see her paintings and think, “Women must’ve been really powerful in the old days.” I’m opening a can of worms here — I don’t want future generations to be fooled, but I want them to know that there were people here trying to even things out, rewriting history to reflect the truth about the powerful roles that all people (of all genders, ethnicities, and orientations) have played in shaping contemporary life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look closely at the women in Rojas’s paintings, the lines on their faces, their expressions and subtle gestures, and the spaces they occupy. Some are welcoming other women into safety. Others sit in chairs; their heads drooped over. Are they sorrowful? Gathering strength? Meditating? Waiting?

And for the next three months, she graces the Museum of Craft & Folk Art with a stunner of a show called \u003cb>We They, We They\u003c/b>. Organized in collaboration with Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, England, where a similar iteration of the show was presented earlier this year, the exhibition has been remixed in true DIY style, and re-installed locally, in the city where Rojas lives and works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On opening night in San Francisco, Rojas performed a handful of songs under her stage name, Peggy Honeywell. Peggy wears a disarming wig and appears to have stepped right out of a Clare Rojas painting with her guitar in hand. In my household, Peggy Honeywell is on par with Johnny Cash. Her folksy songs transport me to a timeless place where judgments are tabled, and stories are told with unwavering charm and insight. Her artwork goes hand-and-hand with her music, sharing themes and essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/O70OWck06zE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/O70OWck06zE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\u003ci>Video shot by Elizabeth Pepin\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The location of Rojas’s exhibition shouldn’t be a surprise. Her work belongs in a museum. It’s atypical for an exhibition to travel from a fine art gallery to a folk art museum, but rather than dwell on how Clare Rojas fits into the folk/fine art continuum, let’s just indulge in her work. It’s meant to be enjoyed and savored, because it’s empowering, especially for those who understand that women are over-objectified and undervalued in most societies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/rojas-1.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I don’t buy it, and I see Rojas’s work as the antithesis of that trend. We should all pay attention to what she is trying to tell us. She’s not going to hand it to you on a TV dinner tray — you might crave more explanation when it comes to her work — but if you spend time critically viewing her imagery, you’ll understand her motives. In addition to framed works, and wall-sized quilts of paintings on salvaged wood, also on view are three videos that help drive home her message (all three were produced with artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright). One is a music video for Peggy Honeywell’s “Bower Bird,” in which the singer performs solemnly during a testosterone-fueled keg party, sticking out like a sore thumb in her beehive wig and red country dress. On \u003ca href=\"http://peggyhoneywell.blogspot.com/2010/02/peggy-video-by-andrew-jeffrey-wright.html\">Peggy’s blog\u003c/a> she says the video shows how she feels when performing at art openings, but she’s also commenting on frat party culture. In the other videos, fashion magazine pages become obscured with animated doodles — objectified women’s heads turn into fish, their skinny arms are stretched or fattened — she is critiquing advertising’s sexism in an approachable, funny way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/rojas-2.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003cbr>Photo: Alan Bamberger\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Men are noticeably underrepresented in Rojas’s latest paintings. When they appear, they look vulnerable. In one large piece, male faces are blocked as they run up the long tongue of a giant, old world woman, with piles of offerings in their arms. But don’t call her a man-hater. Rojas is merely trying to tip the scales back into balance. After all, before the ’60s, art history books would have you believe that women never, ever made art. It was only 25 years ago that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.guerrillagirls.com/posters/getnaked.shtml\">Guerilla Girls\u003c/a> called out the rampant discrimination in museums. And women are still paid \u003ca href=\"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1983185,00.html\">significantly less\u003c/a> than men for the same job in any field. When I look at Clare Rojas’s work, with its mysterious narrative and vintage aesthetic, I cross my fingers that one day our children will see her paintings and think, “Women must’ve been really powerful in the old days.” I’m opening a can of worms here — I don’t want future generations to be fooled, but I want them to know that there were people here trying to even things out, rewriting history to reflect the truth about the powerful roles that all people (of all genders, ethnicities, and orientations) have played in shaping contemporary life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look closely at the women in Rojas’s paintings, the lines on their faces, their expressions and subtle gestures, and the spaces they occupy. Some are welcoming other women into safety. Others sit in chairs; their heads drooped over. Are they sorrowful? Gathering strength? Meditating? Waiting? Space is of particular importance in this show, Rojas is starting to explore domestic habitats in her work. If you stand at a certain point in the museum and are the artist’s height, the murals’ lines converge to give you the perspective of being in one of the rooms in her paintings. It’s really special to be able to see works from the artist’s last few years, and witness the beginning of a new direction at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/rojas-3.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you didn’t drop this article halfway through because you couldn’t wait to get over to MOCFA (or Amoeba to purchase some Peggy Honeywell records), you’re a fool.

He pairs strong imagery with witty text, addressing issues that need to be considered more carefully and driving straight to the core of what’s wrong in society. A great recent example is a simple piece of text, “I don’t believe in global warming,” partially obscured by water flowing through a London canal. I call this the OCD outlet of a concerned citizen. Banksy voices his questions of authority through artwork and makes it free and accessible. Imagine walking into the Louvre and hanging your own artwork upon the wall as cavalierly as if the museum were your living room. Banksy actually pulled this stunt with a reinterpretation of the Mona Lisa, her dubious stare replaced by a yellow smiley face, and the museum later added the piece to its collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10138063\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat.jpg\" alt=\"1309 Howard Street (at 9th Street)\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10138063\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1309 Howard Street (at 9th Street)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Illegal art is a funny thing. Banksy’s work has been known to capture a healthy sum at Sotheby’s, but may also be power-sprayed back into nothingness by the unamused. Will 300,000 visitors to his June 2009 exhibit at Bristol’s City Museum and Art Gallery translate to perceived cultural value by a public works officer who might not be familiar with or care about the man behind the work? Maybe a mass public intervention will be enough to circumvent the system. If not, we might be seeing sections of walls being cut from these buildings before they are painted out.

He pairs strong imagery with witty text, addressing issues that need to be considered more carefully and driving straight to the core of what’s wrong in society. A great recent example is a simple piece of text, “I don’t believe in global warming,” partially obscured by water flowing through a London canal. I call this the OCD outlet of a concerned citizen. Banksy voices his questions of authority through artwork and makes it free and accessible. Imagine walking into the Louvre and hanging your own artwork upon the wall as cavalierly as if the museum were your living room. Banksy actually pulled this stunt with a reinterpretation of the Mona Lisa, her dubious stare replaced by a yellow smiley face, and the museum later added the piece to its collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10138063\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat.jpg\" alt=\"1309 Howard Street (at 9th Street)\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10138063\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2010/05/banksy-rat-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">1309 Howard Street (at 9th Street)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Illegal art is a funny thing. Banksy’s work has been known to capture a healthy sum at Sotheby’s, but may also be power-sprayed back into nothingness by the unamused. Will 300,000 visitors to his June 2009 exhibit at Bristol’s City Museum and Art Gallery translate to perceived cultural value by a public works officer who might not be familiar with or care about the man behind the work? Maybe a mass public intervention will be enough to circumvent the system. If not, we might be seeing sections of walls being cut from these buildings before they are painted out.

"headTitle": "Jazz Giants: The Photography of Herman Leonard | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Jazz plays in the background at the Lush Life Gallery on Fillmore Street in San Francisco, but the images in \u003cb>Jazz Giants: The Photography of Herman Leonard\u003c/b>, now through May 16, 2010, seem to come with their own soundtrack. Featuring dozens of examples of the great jazz photographer’s work, mostly from the 1940s and ’50s, the exhibition conjures the sounds of a beer bottle hitting the floor, some old guy in the corner coughing up phlegm and those two women down front who won’t stop chattering even though Dexter Gordon has just taken the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show highlights candid shots and portraits, the two general types of photographs that Leonard has been producing throughout his long and legendary career. For the most part I prefer the candids, like the picture of Sonny Stitt during a 1953 performance in New York City. Stitt is sitting in a chair, sax in his lap, looking incredibly bored while he waits for Dizzy Gillespie to finish a solo. The ennui of the road and repetition of genius on cue is wearying, or so the photograph suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That photograph was taken from the vantage point of the audience, but Leonard had remarkable access to the kings and queens of mid-century American jazz, and he used his privileged vantage point to capture moments that no one else could. An especially revealing shot is the one taken from the stage of the Downbeat Club, where Ella Fitzgerald was performing in 1949. Leonard snapped his shutter from behind the singer looking out into the crowd.

Featuring dozens of examples of the great jazz photographer’s work, mostly from the 1940s and ’50s, the exhibition conjures the sounds of a beer bottle hitting the floor, some old guy in the corner coughing up phlegm and those two women down front who won’t stop chattering even though Dexter Gordon has just taken the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show highlights candid shots and portraits, the two general types of photographs that Leonard has been producing throughout his long and legendary career. For the most part I prefer the candids, like the picture of Sonny Stitt during a 1953 performance in New York City. Stitt is sitting in a chair, sax in his lap, looking incredibly bored while he waits for Dizzy Gillespie to finish a solo. The ennui of the road and repetition of genius on cue is wearying, or so the photograph suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That photograph was taken from the vantage point of the audience, but Leonard had remarkable access to the kings and queens of mid-century American jazz, and he used his privileged vantage point to capture moments that no one else could. An especially revealing shot is the one taken from the stage of the Downbeat Club, where Ella Fitzgerald was performing in 1949. Leonard snapped his shutter from behind the singer looking out into the crowd. Fitzgerald’s dark silhouette fills the left third or so of the picture, but his real subject is the royalty at the first table — a beaming Duke Ellington in pinstripes, an appreciative Richard Rogers to Ellington’s left and sitting a seat or two behind them both, a wide-eyed Benny Goodman, the corner of his left lip just curling into a smile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/jazz-ella.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\u003cbr>Ella Fitzgerald, Downbeat Club, New York City, 1949\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>Less interesting, to me, anyway, are Leonard’s posed photographs, which often struggle under their labored composition.

"content": "\u003cp>A few weeks ago, I visited NIAD Art Center in Richmond, CA. One of 11 local artists and curators who joined the organizer, painter \u003ca href=\"http://www.timothybuckwalter.typepad.com/\">Timothy Buckwalter\u003c/a>, to select work for \u003cb>Rare and Unreleased\u003c/b>, an exhibition celebrating NIAD’s 25-year history. The show opens this Saturday, April 10 with a reception from 2-5pm and runs through June 4, 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I responded, “Sure, sounds fun!” to Buckwalter’s email invitation. The group, which included Oakland gallerist Kimberly Johansson (\u003ca href=\"http://johanssonprojects.com/default.htm\">Johansson Projects\u003c/a>), Philip Linhares, Chief Curator of Art at the \u003ca href=\"http://museumca.org/\">Oakland Museum of California\u003c/a> and artists John Casey, Heidi De Vries, Cliff Hengst, Helena Keeffe, Mike Monteiro, Lisa Solomon, Canon Tolon, and John Zurier, had the — yes, fun, but — daunting task of going through NIAD’s vast archive. And I mean stacks and stacks of paintings, drawings and prints, several rooms full of sculptures made from all imaginable materials and a couple of large spaces jammed tight with canvases. But the sorting wasn’t the worst part. Each curator was given a space to collect the various gems retrieved from this overwhelming mass of artwork, and then — toughest task of all — we were asked to lay out our collections and CHOOSE JUST SIX pieces, which would ultimately appear in the show! Perhaps this task sounds simple or mundane to you, and it’s probably one of those situations where you really had to be there, but (gulp!) it was tough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/niad-2.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 1982, NIAD (National Institute of Art and Disabilities) is a really bright and friendly place packed to overflowing with creativity. The center is a studio art program that provides assistance in the form of materials, working artists and art assistants to adult artists with any kind of disability, either mental (think autism) or physical (think wheelchair bound).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We saw sculptures in all shapes, sizes and materials, screenprints, woodcuts, ceramics, fiber art, portraits, landscapes, word art, pop art, abstraction, minimalism and more. The artists are obviously engaged with issues in contemporary culture \u003ci>and\u003c/i> contemporary art. We uncovered one who painted magazine covers; another made the most intriguing and intricate lists, elegantly filling up page after page with them. There was an artist trying to capture the weather; another created imaginary flags. Fanciful and brightly colored animals dominated the pages of one artist’s stack; one man made medical equipment (stethoscope, syringe, etc.) out of masking tape. When we broke for lunch, we were entertained by an artist obsessed with Michael Jackson, who moonwalked and sang songs into a microphone he had fashioned out of cardboard. The day was filled with such magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/niad-1.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003cbr>Javier Ramirez\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cannot wait to see the results of our dig through the strata of NIAD. As someone engaged with contemporary art galleries (through my work at KQED) and as an artist myself, it was humbling to be down on my knees digging through a pile of paintings, uncovering a creative expression so pure it took my breath away. This didn’t happen once; it happened at regular intervals — and not just to me. Judging from the gasps occurring throughout the space, the same was true for the rest of the crew. Maybe one day, I will be lucky enough to plug into my own creative energy so well, making my own artistic statements with such elegance and grace.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rare & Unreleased\u003c/b> is on view through June 4, 2010 at the NIAD Gallery, 551 23rd Street in Richmond, California.

One of 11 local artists and curators who joined the organizer, painter \u003ca href=\"http://www.timothybuckwalter.typepad.com/\">Timothy Buckwalter\u003c/a>, to select work for \u003cb>Rare and Unreleased\u003c/b>, an exhibition celebrating NIAD’s 25-year history. The show opens this Saturday, April 10 with a reception from 2-5pm and runs through June 4, 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I responded, “Sure, sounds fun!” to Buckwalter’s email invitation. The group, which included Oakland gallerist Kimberly Johansson (\u003ca href=\"http://johanssonprojects.com/default.htm\">Johansson Projects\u003c/a>), Philip Linhares, Chief Curator of Art at the \u003ca href=\"http://museumca.org/\">Oakland Museum of California\u003c/a> and artists John Casey, Heidi De Vries, Cliff Hengst, Helena Keeffe, Mike Monteiro, Lisa Solomon, Canon Tolon, and John Zurier, had the — yes, fun, but — daunting task of going through NIAD’s vast archive. And I mean stacks and stacks of paintings, drawings and prints, several rooms full of sculptures made from all imaginable materials and a couple of large spaces jammed tight with canvases. But the sorting wasn’t the worst part. Each curator was given a space to collect the various gems retrieved from this overwhelming mass of artwork, and then — toughest task of all — we were asked to lay out our collections and CHOOSE JUST SIX pieces, which would ultimately appear in the show! Perhaps this task sounds simple or mundane to you, and it’s probably one of those situations where you really had to be there, but (gulp!) it was tough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/niad-2.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 1982, NIAD (National Institute of Art and Disabilities) is a really bright and friendly place packed to overflowing with creativity. The center is a studio art program that provides assistance in the form of materials, working artists and art assistants to adult artists with any kind of disability, either mental (think autism) or physical (think wheelchair bound).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We saw sculptures in all shapes, sizes and materials, screenprints, woodcuts, ceramics, fiber art, portraits, landscapes, word art, pop art, abstraction, minimalism and more. The artists are obviously engaged with issues in contemporary culture \u003ci>and\u003c/i> contemporary art. We uncovered one who painted magazine covers; another made the most intriguing and intricate lists, elegantly filling up page after page with them. There was an artist trying to capture the weather; another created imaginary flags. Fanciful and brightly colored animals dominated the pages of one artist’s stack; one man made medical equipment (stethoscope, syringe, etc.) out of masking tape. When we broke for lunch, we were entertained by an artist obsessed with Michael Jackson, who moonwalked and sang songs into a microphone he had fashioned out of cardboard. The day was filled with such magic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As someone engaged with contemporary art galleries (through my work at KQED) and as an artist myself, it was humbling to be down on my knees digging through a pile of paintings, uncovering a creative expression so pure it took my breath away. This didn’t happen once; it happened at regular intervals — and not just to me. Judging from the gasps occurring throughout the space, the same was true for the rest of the crew. Maybe one day, I will be lucky enough to plug into my own creative energy so well, making my own artistic statements with such elegance and grace.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rare & Unreleased\u003c/b> is on view through June 4, 2010 at the NIAD Gallery, 551 23rd Street in Richmond, California.

To describe this work, Karamali wrote, “I think that most of the girls, who are the same age as me, also spend a great amount of time in their bedrooms. If we add to this… the time each girl spends sleeping, one would see that a significant amount of their lives up to this point have been spent on their beds. It is safe to say that these girls are most relaxed in their bedrooms; after all it is their own private space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see young Iranian women with their hair unveiled, the skin of their arms and legs defiantly bare. Each stares directly into the camera with a look that seems to say, “I have nothing to hide.” The images vary: a woman lays seductively across her bed; another sits cross-legged, smoking a cigarette (an act looked down upon for women in Iranian society); a third is surrounded by a pile of shoes. Each woman is young and beautiful, with a look of confidence in her eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a back room, Neda Razavipour’s video installation, \u003cb>Find the Lost One\u003c/b>, shows a split-screen with identical video clips of people walking to and from the entrance to one of Tehran’s subway stations. Razavipour removed one of the commuters on one side of the screen; the viewer is meant to find him or her in the half of the video left intact. The installation represents the dozens who have “dissappeared” in Iran in the aftermath of 2009’s contested presidential election. Each person on the screen becomes important; any one could disappear at any moment. The sense of anxiety that arises as you try to find the one that has been erased invokes empathy for those Iranian families that must contend with the sudden disappearance of a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taraneh Hemami, who helped bring many of the pieces to the United States in January 2010 for a separate exhibition organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission and the Intersection for the Arts, said the difference between indoor and outdoor life in Iran is very tangible. “I think the life that people experience in Iran, the life that people claim as theirs, actually happens indoors,” said Hemami. “The public life is completely separated from the private life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mehran Mohajer’s piece, \u003cb>Tehran, Undated\u003c/b> we view familiar images of Tehran’s streets, which we remember from recent coverage of the unrest that followed last year’s presidential election. Mohajer used a pinhole camera so that the structure of the city remained, while the people became a blur, effectively depopulating the urban landscape. “We chose artists that use the city as their muse,” said Hemami. “[Mohajer’s] work became representative of the days right after the election, when the streets of Tehran, a city of 17 million were in fact empty of people, except for when the demonstrations were happening. The city was paralzyed, the shops were closed, and the people stayed indoors after the election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A collaboration between The Center for South Asia Studies, the Center for Southeast Asia Studies and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley, \u003cb>Tehran: Public Lives Private Spaces — New Art and Digital Media from Iran\u003c/b> is on view May 30 – April 10, 2010 at the Alphonse Berber Gallery, 2546 Bancroft Way in Berkeley.
