He began making 19th-century style tintypes while studying sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute. He enjoys the physicality of this highly controlled process, using chemicals to create a photographic exposure on a plate of metal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHS Managing Curator of Exhibitions Erin Garcia notes that tintypes have historically only been used to portray white, privileged subjects. In traditional portraits, architectural columns were used as set pieces to convey strength and virility. In his five-by-seven-inch tintypes, Drew choses instead to use trees and natural settings as the symbols of power for his Native subjects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each tintype is titled with the first name of the subject, with his or her full name in parenthesis.

A portrait of young Montell Weeks in a sweatshirt and jeans shows him holding an iPhone in one hand, a bird wing in another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11871774\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11871774 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Ed-Drew-2-e1469812194104.jpeg\" alt=\"Self Portrait by Ed Drew.

He began making 19th-century style tintypes while studying sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute. He enjoys the physicality of this highly controlled process, using chemicals to create a photographic exposure on a plate of metal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHS Managing Curator of Exhibitions Erin Garcia notes that tintypes have historically only been used to portray white, privileged subjects. In traditional portraits, architectural columns were used as set pieces to convey strength and virility. In his five-by-seven-inch tintypes, Drew choses instead to use trees and natural settings as the symbols of power for his Native subjects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each tintype is titled with the first name of the subject, with his or her full name in parenthesis.

Alterio explains, “We really are trying to tell a very immersive narrative and so, the more that we can hide in a very tactile way, I think it provides a better experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11722458\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 472px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11722458 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Prism-GIF.gif\" alt='GIF from the \"Buried Treasure\" Primer on Primer Stories.

For anybody who has read one of these stories and then sees that GIF elsewhere, it’s kind of like shorthand for the Primer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Lillis compares the advent of the Internet to that of the printing press, Alterio adds, “If we were in the pre-internet age, maybe, you know Tim and I would be sitting around xeroxing off fanzines and sending it out to \u003ca href=\"http://www.powells.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Powell’s Books\u003c/a>, but I don’t think that has nearly as much impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>In August,\u003cstrong> Primer Stories\u003c/strong> will release its fourth season with Primers on the theme of “change.” You can find more Primers on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.primerstories.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Primer Stories website\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://giphy.com/primerstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collection of Primer Stories GIFs\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"http://giphy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GIPHY\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

An experienced string quintet from San Francisco Opera conducted by Jerome Lenk serves as the pit orchestra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The struggles with housing in the show hit especially close to home for Neilson. After six years of living in San Francisco and four years working with Opera on Tap, she and her husband Keel are leaving San Francisco soon for new opportunities in Nashville. Neilson sees her performance in the role of Mimi as her symbolic farewell to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Viskontas, who plays the role of Musetta, “That \u003cem>joie de vivre\u003c/em> and the struggle is something that I think resonates with all of us in the cast, and it’s really hard for us to get through a rehearsal without feeling that loss at the end of the opera. I still haven’t gotten through a rehearsal without choking up at some point because it just feels so raw and so close to a lot of the struggles that we go through.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>‘La Bohème’ runs February 19–20 and Feb. 26–27 at EXIT Theatre in San Francisco.

Santa’s Village was more than just a quirky pit stop though; it was a part of the first franchised theme park in history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After World War II, when McDonald’s was just starting to open franchises and Disneyland captured the imaginations of children and investors, undeveloped property in the South Bay seemed perfect for theme park development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, investors would trade these unique parks for standardized suburban tract homes. One such development in San Jose bears the name of the park it replaced: Frontier Village.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as that park was ready to expand into a new decade (the 1980s), its land was sold to property developers. After nearly 20 years of operation, employees and visitors were not ready to let go.

NUMU’s History Curator, Amy Long, said, “I’ve been blown away by the response. It’s really become something that I couldn’t have predicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long knew she was on to something when she saw that the Facebook page for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/frontiervillage/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remembering Frontier Village\u003c/a> had over 12,000 fans. Through these online networks she was able to meet collectors and orchestrate the dynamic exhibition at NUMU, which features an antique auto from Frontier Village, the calendar clock from Santa’s Village and a large grizzly bear statue from Lost World, along with eclectic memorabilia and relevant historical documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11068657\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11068657\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg\" alt=\"A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU 'It Takes a Village' exhibit.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-400x533.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU ‘It Takes a Village’ exhibit. \u003ccite>(Photo: Adrienne Blaine)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The most impressive part of the exhibition, however, is the wall where visitors can share their memories of these parks. Some remember specific rides: “I could NEVER keep my eyes open when entering the Dutchman’s Mine!” Others focus on the connections made: “If I hadn’t gone to F.V. to interview for a job. I’d never have met my future husband or have the great pleasure of working at such a great place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baby Boomers at the opening expressed a desire to pass along these happy memories to their children and grandchildren. It makes one wonder what Generation X, Y and Z will preserve from their childhoods for future posterity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the defining landmarks of the area continue to disappear, what will we leave future generations? Engaging the community with memories of lost parks, NUMU makes us think about our own place in history — not with doom and gloom, but with a whimsical and wistful peek into a bygone era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>It Takes a Village\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> is on view through April 3, 2016 at New Museum Los Gatos.

NUMU’s History Curator, Amy Long, said, “I’ve been blown away by the response. It’s really become something that I couldn’t have predicted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long knew she was on to something when she saw that the Facebook page for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/frontiervillage/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remembering Frontier Village\u003c/a> had over 12,000 fans. Through these online networks she was able to meet collectors and orchestrate the dynamic exhibition at NUMU, which features an antique auto from Frontier Village, the calendar clock from Santa’s Village and a large grizzly bear statue from Lost World, along with eclectic memorabilia and relevant historical documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11068657\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11068657\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg\" alt=\"A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU 'It Takes a Village' exhibit.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-400x533.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/FV-Memory-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A memory from Frontier Village in San Jose posted in the NUMU ‘It Takes a Village’ exhibit. \u003ccite>(Photo: Adrienne Blaine)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The most impressive part of the exhibition, however, is the wall where visitors can share their memories of these parks. Some remember specific rides: “I could NEVER keep my eyes open when entering the Dutchman’s Mine!” Others focus on the connections made: “If I hadn’t gone to F.V. to interview for a job. I’d never have met my future husband or have the great pleasure of working at such a great place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baby Boomers at the opening expressed a desire to pass along these happy memories to their children and grandchildren. It makes one wonder what Generation X, Y and Z will preserve from their childhoods for future posterity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the defining landmarks of the area continue to disappear, what will we leave future generations? Engaging the community with memories of lost parks, NUMU makes us think about our own place in history — not with doom and gloom, but with a whimsical and wistful peek into a bygone era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>It Takes a Village\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> is on view through April 3, 2016 at New Museum Los Gatos.

From the ethereal glow of illuminated smartphones raised overhead, Harrison’s visage has recently graced concerts from Oakland to Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first saw Harrison’s beaming face in April at the \u003ca href=\"http://beachboardwalk.com/cocoanut-grove/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cocoanut Grove\u003c/a> in Santa Cruz. While I waited for electronic musician \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbvsgr.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panda Bear\u003c/a> to take the stage, two young men held up the same close-up candid of Harrison flashing a toothy smile.

And while attempts to replace the lighter of yesteryear with a lit-up phone are largely unsuccessful, this Harrison synchronicity brought the crowd closer to a shared experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I soon learned from 23-year-old San Francisco resident Ernie Houk that he had witnessed the same phenomenon at a \u003ca href=\"http://www.tameimpala.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tame Impala\u003c/a> concert at Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefoxoakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Theater\u003c/a> in November of 2014. “People do a lot of dumb things at concerts to get attention,” explained Houk, but he, too, felt this was different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not sure whether it was a meme dug up from “the bowels of \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit\u003c/a>,” Houk was initially confused, and then amused, by the 20 Harrisons popping up around him at the Fox Theater. At the Cocoanut Grove, I was similarly curious, so after the show I made a beeline for the stage to track down the initiator: 19-year-old Russell Cowick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cowick explained that he uses the image of Harrison from the cover of \u003ca href=\"http://www.thebeatles.com/album/let-it-be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003ci>Let it Be\u003c/i>\u003c/a> as a way to test crowds at concerts. Testing for what, you may ask? “In some of my classes at the \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of San Francisco\u003c/a>,” Cowick explained, “there wasn’t a single person who knew the name of a single Beatle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tr3P_0xC3U?rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0&w=640&h=480]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s just let that soak in for a minute. There are students in college, in San Francisco, who cannot name a single Beatle. And even if they were able to name one Beatle, what are the chances it would be Harrison?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily for Cowick, the estimated hundred-plus participants in his social experiment prove that the memory of Harrison persists. How else would fans be able to pull up a picture of Harrison on their phones, after all, if they couldn’t remember his name on sight?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Millennial ode to Harrison comes from a sincere love of the Beatles, and Cowick doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. “I’ll continue to do this forever until I can’t go to concerts anymore, and then I’ll tell my kids to do it. Hopefully, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCss0kZXeyE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when I’m 64\u003c/a>, there will still be a couple people left that will shoot me a George back,” Cowick added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he would hold up a picture of Harrison at future concerts, Houk said, “I would if it meant a kid who didn’t know who the Beatles were decided to listen to them for the first time.” Considering the \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6554067/raps-impact-outweighs-beatles-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study showing hip-hop to be more influential than the Beatles\u003c/a> on today’s music, if you see Harrison at a concert near you, remember that the Beatles’ ubiquity can no longer be taken for granted.\u003c/p>\n\n",

From the ethereal glow of illuminated smartphones raised overhead, Harrison’s visage has recently graced concerts from Oakland to Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first saw Harrison’s beaming face in April at the \u003ca href=\"http://beachboardwalk.com/cocoanut-grove/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cocoanut Grove\u003c/a> in Santa Cruz. While I waited for electronic musician \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbvsgr.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panda Bear\u003c/a> to take the stage, two young men held up the same close-up candid of Harrison flashing a toothy smile.

And while attempts to replace the lighter of yesteryear with a lit-up phone are largely unsuccessful, this Harrison synchronicity brought the crowd closer to a shared experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I soon learned from 23-year-old San Francisco resident Ernie Houk that he had witnessed the same phenomenon at a \u003ca href=\"http://www.tameimpala.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tame Impala\u003c/a> concert at Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefoxoakland.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Theater\u003c/a> in November of 2014. “People do a lot of dumb things at concerts to get attention,” explained Houk, but he, too, felt this was different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not sure whether it was a meme dug up from “the bowels of \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit\u003c/a>,” Houk was initially confused, and then amused, by the 20 Harrisons popping up around him at the Fox Theater. At the Cocoanut Grove, I was similarly curious, so after the show I made a beeline for the stage to track down the initiator: 19-year-old Russell Cowick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are students in college, in San Francisco, who cannot name a single Beatle. And even if they were able to name one Beatle, what are the chances it would be Harrison?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily for Cowick, the estimated hundred-plus participants in his social experiment prove that the memory of Harrison persists. How else would fans be able to pull up a picture of Harrison on their phones, after all, if they couldn’t remember his name on sight?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Millennial ode to Harrison comes from a sincere love of the Beatles, and Cowick doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. “I’ll continue to do this forever until I can’t go to concerts anymore, and then I’ll tell my kids to do it. Hopefully, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCss0kZXeyE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when I’m 64\u003c/a>, there will still be a couple people left that will shoot me a George back,” Cowick added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he would hold up a picture of Harrison at future concerts, Houk said, “I would if it meant a kid who didn’t know who the Beatles were decided to listen to them for the first time.” Considering the \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6554067/raps-impact-outweighs-beatles-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent study showing hip-hop to be more influential than the Beatles\u003c/a> on today’s music, if you see Harrison at a concert near you, remember that the Beatles’ ubiquity can no longer be taken for granted.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
