That night in downtown San Francisco 21 years ago, the venue was packed wall-to-wall with skaters, bike messengers, punks, hip-hoppers and graffiti crews. Huddled outside in the alley were small groups of twenty-somethings, smoking weed and brown-bagging tall cans. It was the very first time I’d ever been in a gallery where I felt at home, where I actually had fun, and where I responded with visceral enthusiasm to the art. Like so many other people I met that night, I have been going back to 111 Minna ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13923399']Against a lot of odds, 111 Minna is turning 30 this month and, in honor of the anniversary, a new group exhibit is on display at the spacious, two-bar gallery.

Delaney says that Jung — an artist and UC Berkeley graduate who opened Minna in 1993 — succeeded early because he “never tried to hold on to artists and represent them.

He wanted them to be able to be successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delaney says the “original culture” set by Jung — who departed 111 Minna five years ago to live in Cambodia — “is what still makes this place strong.” She points to the fact that a great many of Minna’s patrons, many of whom first heard about the place by word of mouth, have been hanging around the venue for years now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13936497\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13936497\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/featured-FINAL-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Four photos arranged in a square.

That night in downtown San Francisco 21 years ago, the venue was packed wall-to-wall with skaters, bike messengers, punks, hip-hoppers and graffiti crews. Huddled outside in the alley were small groups of twenty-somethings, smoking weed and brown-bagging tall cans. It was the very first time I’d ever been in a gallery where I felt at home, where I actually had fun, and where I responded with visceral enthusiasm to the art. Like so many other people I met that night, I have been going back to 111 Minna ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These days, the reason 111 Minna is still able to put on events with a more underground flavor is because it’s also willing to host one-off corporate gatherings and parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delaney is thrilled that 111 Minna hasn’t just managed to survive all of this time, but to thrive too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like 111 Minna to go on forever,” she says. “San Francisco needs these staples, these jewels, these beacons of community.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cb>Shinkansen Conspiracy\u003c/b> is the annoyingly obtuse title for the third-annual group grope of artists associated with \u003ca href=\"http://www.lastgasp.com/\">Last Gasp Books\u003c/a>. Like most exhibitions featuring artists brought together for no particular reason (I love Winston Smith’s and Junko Mizuno’s work, but please don’t ask me what \u003ci>King Chrome\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Deranged 1\u003c/i> have in common), this show, now on view at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco, does not trouble itself with curatorial purpose or cohesion, although many of the pieces have been thoughtfully presented in this bar that doubles as an art gallery. For the record, there were only a couple of images dealing with trains, the most memorable being a lovely little pen-and-ink by Hal Robins of a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen\">Shinkansen bullet train\u003c/a>. Given the large number of paintings and graphics focused on tattoo art, the numerous depictions of zoophilia on view and the profusion of pop surrealism, this quiet, literal reference to the show’s title was no doubt an oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/fastfriends.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Jennybird Alcantara, \u003ci>I Bleed (Making Fast Friends in Dreamland)\u003c/i>, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typical of the exhibition’s Last Gasp ‘tude is Jennybird Alcantara’s oil-on-wood painting called \u003ci>I Bleed (Making Fast Friends in Dreamland)\u003c/i>, in which a pink-flesh pair of gothy female creatures (think Blythe dolls on heroin) share a skirt made from the surface of a pool of blood. In another gallery, Skinner provides the yang to Alcantara’s yin with his \u003ci>Wendigo Diety, Eater of Man\u003c/i>, a muscular, comic-book-style painting of a naked two-headed humanoid monster, crouching on piles of multi-colored skulls as he feeds a struggling victim into one of his mouths with his right fist while clutching a second, bloody, would-be snack in his left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/whale.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Kevin Taylor, \u003ci>The Whale Construction II\u003c/i>, 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I admired the creepy fastidiousness of Alcantara and the brutal awesomeness of Skinner, I found myself returning after repeated circuits through the galleries to the more “traditional” work in the show, such as Kevin Taylor’s masterfully weird \u003ci>The Whale Construction II\u003c/i>, which depicts a sperm whale surrounded by the scaffolding one might imagine would be needed for its assembly.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cb>Shinkansen Conspiracy\u003c/b> is the annoyingly obtuse title for the third-annual group grope of artists associated with \u003ca href=\"http://www.lastgasp.com/\">Last Gasp Books\u003c/a>. Like most exhibitions featuring artists brought together for no particular reason (I love Winston Smith’s and Junko Mizuno’s work, but please don’t ask me what \u003ci>King Chrome\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Deranged 1\u003c/i> have in common), this show, now on view at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco, does not trouble itself with curatorial purpose or cohesion, although many of the pieces have been thoughtfully presented in this bar that doubles as an art gallery. For the record, there were only a couple of images dealing with trains, the most memorable being a lovely little pen-and-ink by Hal Robins of a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen\">Shinkansen bullet train\u003c/a>. Given the large number of paintings and graphics focused on tattoo art, the numerous depictions of zoophilia on view and the profusion of pop surrealism, this quiet, literal reference to the show’s title was no doubt an oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/fastfriends.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Jennybird Alcantara, \u003ci>I Bleed (Making Fast Friends in Dreamland)\u003c/i>, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typical of the exhibition’s Last Gasp ‘tude is Jennybird Alcantara’s oil-on-wood painting called \u003ci>I Bleed (Making Fast Friends in Dreamland)\u003c/i>, in which a pink-flesh pair of gothy female creatures (think Blythe dolls on heroin) share a skirt made from the surface of a pool of blood. In another gallery, Skinner provides the yang to Alcantara’s yin with his \u003ci>Wendigo Diety, Eater of Man\u003c/i>, a muscular, comic-book-style painting of a naked two-headed humanoid monster, crouching on piles of multi-colored skulls as he feeds a struggling victim into one of his mouths with his right fist while clutching a second, bloody, would-be snack in his left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/whale.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Kevin Taylor, \u003ci>The Whale Construction II\u003c/i>, 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I admired the creepy fastidiousness of Alcantara and the brutal awesomeness of Skinner, I found myself returning after repeated circuits through the galleries to the more “traditional” work in the show, such as Kevin Taylor’s masterfully weird \u003ci>The Whale Construction II\u003c/i>, which depicts a sperm whale surrounded by the scaffolding one might imagine would be needed for its assembly. The detail in Taylor’s oil-on-wood painting is so seductive, I got happily lost in the way he’d filled in the whale’s body and surrounding landscape, so much so that I almost missed the rope suspended from unseen heights to support the mammal’s massive fluke. \u003ci>The Whale Construction II\u003c/i> is a fantastical enough image without this small detail, but a rope dangling from nowhere makes it that much more magical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
