(Patricia Yollin/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>An elderly Chinese man sat on a Grant Avenue sidewalk Thursday afternoon and played “Auld Lang Syne” on his erhu, a long-stringed instrument that looked as aged as its owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seemed incongruous but somehow fitting: It was the eve of Lunar New Year 4712. The streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown were frantic but festive, teeming with people grabbing branches of quince or cherry blossoms, stocking up on citrus and trying to get ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All in preparation for the Year of the Horse, which arrived today. The 15-day New Year’s holiday, also known as the Spring Festival, will end on Valentine’s Day, although San Francisco’s annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.chineseparade.com\">Chinese New Year Parade\u003c/a> will take place on Feb. 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I lived in North Beach for 16 years and shopped in Chinatown markets almost every day, mostly on Stockton Street but also Washington, Jackson and Pacific. Just before the new year begins, I always walk around the neighborhood, partly because it has a special feel but also because I’m a procrastinator – so the Lunar New Year is my ultimate deadline for getting things done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last night, my friend \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/magazine/article/Adopting-a-homemade-tamale-tradition-3212939.php\">Lily Wong Fillmore,\u003c/a> a working linguist and retired UC Berkeley education professor, cooked lo han jai, a vegetarian Buddhist dish, for New Year’s Eve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s lots of interesting word magic in the dish,” said the San Francisco resident, whose parents were immigrants from Guangdong Province in China. “One of the ingredients, the black hairy seaweed, sounds like the word for good fortune – different tones but still a good match. My father told me long ago that the dish is made up of items gathered from the earth, air and sea. Most of them have undergone some process, such as drying, salting or transforming, as with beans into tofu and bean curd. It’s an example of humans cooperating with nature to make its gifts go further.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lo han jai is traditional on New Year’s Day itself in many Asian-American families. “My mother declared oysters to be vegetables so she could use oyster sauce in the dish,” Wong Fillmore said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Year of the Snake slithers off, what should we expect from the Year of the Horse, or, specifically, the Wood Horse, as this year is designated? According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/chinese-new-year-2014-what-the-year-of-the-horse-means-for-you-9096775.html\">a piece in The Independent today,\u003c/a> it could be “a fast year full of conflicts … when people will stick more to their principles and stand firm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jan/31/eight-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-year-of-horse\">story in The Guardian\u003c/a> today described the equine personality: “People born in the year of the horse are said to be a bit like horses: animated, active and energetic — they love being in a crowd. They are quick to learn independence — foals can walk minutes after birth — and they have a straightforward and positive attitude towards life.

My father told me long ago that the dish is made up of items gathered from the earth, air and sea.

(Morrie Turner via Cartoon Art Museum, San Francisco)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of my many cultural blind spots: the funny papers. Once upon a time I read them as avidly as anyone. Then probably somewhere in the Reagan years, or Bush or Clinton or Bush II years, I lost the thread and my reading narrowed from a wide range of childhood and teenage favorites, like \"Dick Tracy\" and \"Peanuts\" and \"Pogo\" and \"Mark Trail\" and \"The Family Circus\" (comics don't need to be good to be classic; some you read because they're consistently lame) to \"Calvin and Hobbes,\" \"Life in Hell\" and maybe some \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/05/29/187079888/looking-ahead-to-the-future-of-cartoons-and-creativity\" target=\"_blank\">Lynda Barry \u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://rozchast.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Roz Chast \u003c/a>stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, my habit is down to the occasional glance at \"Doonesbury\" and comics substitutes like \"The Colbert Report,\" which is essentially the comics taken to manic, steroid-infused, 3-D (or at least 2-D) heights and performed live (or nearly live) on a screen near you every evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long ago, I guess, I had encountered \"Wee Pals,\" a strip that focused in a direct, honest but non-confrontational way on racial issues. I wasn't a fan of the strip — again, a comment on me and my tastes, not the quality of \"Wee Pals\" — and I never delved into what was behind it. And one of the things I missed was an interesting piece of local history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The creator of the strip, which began to get a national following in the late 1960s, was Oakland artist Morrie Turner, who died over the weekend in Sacramento at the age of 90. The San Francisco Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub wrote a nice remembrance of Turner on Sunday — \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/thebigevent/2014/01/27/rip-morrie-turner-comic-strip-artist-mentor-and-pride-of-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">RIP Morrie Turner: Comic strip artist, mentor and pride of Oakland\u003c/a>. Hartlaub (who also wrote \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Morrie-Turner-pioneering-Wee-Pals-cartoonist-5183290.php\" target=\"_blank\">a full obituary on Turner\u003c/a>) said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We had been hearing for more than a year that Turner’s health was failing, but it seemed hard to believe. The Berkeley High graduate and longtime Oakland resident continued to draw his strip, even as local institutions including the San Francisco Library, Cartoon Art Museum and Children Fairyland honored his career in recent years. When Turner was with a crowd, he was more enthusiastic than most public figures half his age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, Turner will likely be remembered as the first African-American cartoonist to draw a nationally syndicated strip, bringing humorous and honest racial dialogue into newspapers. (His “Soul Corner” on the right side of the strip often celebrated black heroes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Locally, I think artists and fans viewed him as more than that. After Charles Schulz died in 2000, Turner embraced his role as an elder statesman of Bay Area comic strip artists. He was a generous and gracious presence at WonderCon and other events, and younger talents were eager to absorb his wisdom. His work also generated pride in Oakland, where Turner’s strip reflected the city in a nuanced way that residents could understand.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/29/arts/morrie-turner-dies-at-90-broke-barriers-in-comics.html\" target=\"_blank\">A New York Times obituary\u003c/a> relates how \"Wee Pals\" evolved:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Turner’s comic strip “Wee Pals,” featuring childhood playmates who were white, black, Asian, Hispanic and Jewish (joined in later years by a girl in a wheelchair and a deaf girl), was considered subversive in 1965, when a major syndicate first offered it to newspapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two or three of the hundreds of newspapers in the syndicate picked it up. By early 1968, there were five. But of the many changes that occurred after the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that April and the urban uprisings it started, some of the first appeared in the nation’s funny papers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty newspapers began subscribing to Mr. Turner’s comic strip in the first 30 days after the assassination; within a few months the number had swelled to 100. “Suddenly everybody was interested in me,” he told a public access television interviewer in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in 1968, the black artist Brumsic Brandon Jr. created his comic strip “Luther,” about a 9-year-old boy growing up in the ghetto. It, too, found a wide audience in newspaper syndication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can imagine how I felt,” Mr. Turner said, referring to his newfound popularity. “I mean, I’m benefiting from the assassination of Dr. King, one of my heroes. It was kind of a bittersweet experience.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In the video below, a public access TV interview recorded in 2010, Turner comments on one of the mysteries (and ironies) in \"Wee Pals\": that its main character, an African-American youngster named Nipper, wears a Confederate cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-image\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WKbHAKDDNok\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

(Morrie Turner via Cartoon Art Museum, San Francisco)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of my many cultural blind spots: the funny papers. Once upon a time I read them as avidly as anyone. Then probably somewhere in the Reagan years, or Bush or Clinton or Bush II years, I lost the thread and my reading narrowed from a wide range of childhood and teenage favorites, like \"Dick Tracy\" and \"Peanuts\" and \"Pogo\" and \"Mark Trail\" and \"The Family Circus\" (comics don't need to be good to be classic; some you read because they're consistently lame) to \"Calvin and Hobbes,\" \"Life in Hell\" and maybe some \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/05/29/187079888/looking-ahead-to-the-future-of-cartoons-and-creativity\" target=\"_blank\">Lynda Barry \u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://rozchast.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Roz Chast \u003c/a>stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, my habit is down to the occasional glance at \"Doonesbury\" and comics substitutes like \"The Colbert Report,\" which is essentially the comics taken to manic, steroid-infused, 3-D (or at least 2-D) heights and performed live (or nearly live) on a screen near you every evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long ago, I guess, I had encountered \"Wee Pals,\" a strip that focused in a direct, honest but non-confrontational way on racial issues. I wasn't a fan of the strip — again, a comment on me and my tastes, not the quality of \"Wee Pals\" — and I never delved into what was behind it. And one of the things I missed was an interesting piece of local history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The creator of the strip, which began to get a national following in the late 1960s, was Oakland artist Morrie Turner, who died over the weekend in Sacramento at the age of 90. The San Francisco Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub wrote a nice remembrance of Turner on Sunday — \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/thebigevent/2014/01/27/rip-morrie-turner-comic-strip-artist-mentor-and-pride-of-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">RIP Morrie Turner: Comic strip artist, mentor and pride of Oakland\u003c/a>. Hartlaub (who also wrote \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Morrie-Turner-pioneering-Wee-Pals-cartoonist-5183290.php\" target=\"_blank\">a full obituary on Turner\u003c/a>) said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We had been hearing for more than a year that Turner’s health was failing, but it seemed hard to believe. The Berkeley High graduate and longtime Oakland resident continued to draw his strip, even as local institutions including the San Francisco Library, Cartoon Art Museum and Children Fairyland honored his career in recent years. When Turner was with a crowd, he was more enthusiastic than most public figures half his age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, Turner will likely be remembered as the first African-American cartoonist to draw a nationally syndicated strip, bringing humorous and honest racial dialogue into newspapers. (His “Soul Corner” on the right side of the strip often celebrated black heroes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Locally, I think artists and fans viewed him as more than that. After Charles Schulz died in 2000, Turner embraced his role as an elder statesman of Bay Area comic strip artists. He was a generous and gracious presence at WonderCon and other events, and younger talents were eager to absorb his wisdom. His work also generated pride in Oakland, where Turner’s strip reflected the city in a nuanced way that residents could understand.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/29/arts/morrie-turner-dies-at-90-broke-barriers-in-comics.html\" target=\"_blank\">A New York Times obituary\u003c/a> relates how \"Wee Pals\" evolved:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Turner’s comic strip “Wee Pals,” featuring childhood playmates who were white, black, Asian, Hispanic and Jewish (joined in later years by a girl in a wheelchair and a deaf girl), was considered subversive in 1965, when a major syndicate first offered it to newspapers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two or three of the hundreds of newspapers in the syndicate picked it up. By early 1968, there were five. But of the many changes that occurred after the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that April and the urban uprisings it started, some of the first appeared in the nation’s funny papers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty newspapers began subscribing to Mr. Turner’s comic strip in the first 30 days after the assassination; within a few months the number had swelled to 100. “Suddenly everybody was interested in me,” he told a public access television interviewer in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in 1968, the black artist Brumsic Brandon Jr. created his comic strip “Luther,” about a 9-year-old boy growing up in the ghetto. It, too, found a wide audience in newspaper syndication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can imagine how I felt,” Mr. Turner said, referring to his newfound popularity. “I mean, I’m benefiting from the assassination of Dr. King, one of my heroes. It was kind of a bittersweet experience.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In the video below, a public access TV interview recorded in 2010, Turner comments on one of the mysteries (and ironies) in \"Wee Pals\": that its main character, an African-American youngster named Nipper, wears a Confederate cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-image\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/WKbHAKDDNok\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here is the story of how the song became a protest anthem, as related by The New York Times:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Like many of Mr. Seeger’s songs, “We Shall Overcome” had convoluted traditional roots. It was based on old gospel songs, primarily “I’ll Overcome,” a hymn that striking tobacco workers had sung on a picket line in South Carolina. A slower version, “We Will Overcome,” was collected from one of the workers, Lucille Simmons, by Zilphia Horton, the musical director of the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tenn., which trained union organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ms. Horton taught it to Mr. Seeger, and her version of “We Will Overcome” was published in the People’s Songs newsletter. Mr. Seeger changed “We will” to “We shall” and added verses (“We’ll walk hand in hand”). He taught it to the singers Frank Hamilton, who would join the Weavers in 1962, and Guy Carawan, who became musical director at Highlander in the ‘50s. Mr. Carawan taught the song to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee at its founding convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song was copyrighted by Mr. Seeger, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Carawan and Ms. Horton. “At that time we didn’t know Lucille Simmons’s name,” Mr. Seeger wrote in his 1993 autobiography, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone.” All of the song’s royalties go to the “We Shall Overcome” Fund, administered by what is now the \u003ca href=\"http://highlandercenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Highlander Research and Education Center\u003c/a>, which provides grants to African-Americans organizing in the South.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Seeger inspired generations of folk musicians and activists, with his commitment to peace, community, and the labor movement. And it was at a concert in San Francisco where 10-year-old aspiring folk singer Holly Near first heard Seeger, along with Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays and Fred Hellerman, in the pioneering folk group \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/americanrootsmusic/pbs_arm_saa_weavers.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Weavers\u003c/a>. Near says folk music was popular in her childhood home. Her father built a specially sized mailbox to receive LPs, and her mother would go through catalogs and order albums by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/03/arts/music/03odetta.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Odetta\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/paul-robeson/about-the-actor/66/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Robeson\u003c/a> and The Weavers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My siblings and I would all sing all the parts. We knew the words to every single song and we would dance around and sing,\" Near says, then breaks into the opening line from The Weavers' \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/music/05-07.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Wasn't That a Time\u003c/a>\": “Our fathers bled at Valley Forge. ... ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I'm sure as an 8-year-old I had no idea what that meant,” she says, laughing, “but it was so exciting, those voices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near says she had no idea back then that she would sing with Seeger on and off through much of her life. She says Seeger often invited younger musicians like her to join him, and there's likely hardly a folk musician in California who hasn't shared the stage with him at some point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was eager to join in the antiwar and civil rights causes of the 1960s, she says, and would sing for causes across political boundaries, like a fundraiser he did for children in Lebanon at a time when the Arab community couldn’t find artists who would support their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He felt that everyone should be given a chance to respond to a song,” Near says. “Even on his banjo it says, ‘This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.’ I think he believed that music could cut through all of those things that make us afraid of one another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the McCarthy era, Seeger and other members of the Weavers were accused of belonging to the Communist Party — true in Seeger's case, though he had quit by the time the charge was made — and they would sometimes arrive for concerts to find they were barred from playing. One such episode occurred in Ohio, when a 1951 Weavers appearance at the state fair was canceled. Near says that decades later, when she was touring with Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert and Arlo Guthrie, “the governor of Ohio — must have been 50 years later — invited Pete and Ronnie to come forward, and he did a public apology to them for Ohio’s historic error. It was very, very beautiful to see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near says now is a time to play Pete Seeger's music, sing, dance and feel the joy of having shared the planet with him for so many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been an honor and a pleasure to be with such an extraordinary musician and thinker and lover of the world,” she says, and then starts laughing. “I was laughing, thinking that there’s such an unusual footprint that he’s left that archaeologists are going to see it and wonder, 'What creature is this? And we’re his descendants.' ”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Her father built a specially sized mailbox to receive LPs, and her mother would go through catalogs and order albums by \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/03/arts/music/03odetta.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Odetta\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/paul-robeson/about-the-actor/66/\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Robeson\u003c/a> and The Weavers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My siblings and I would all sing all the parts. We knew the words to every single song and we would dance around and sing,\" Near says, then breaks into the opening line from The Weavers' \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/music/05-07.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Wasn't That a Time\u003c/a>\": “Our fathers bled at Valley Forge. ... ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I'm sure as an 8-year-old I had no idea what that meant,” she says, laughing, “but it was so exciting, those voices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near says she had no idea back then that she would sing with Seeger on and off through much of her life. She says Seeger often invited younger musicians like her to join him, and there's likely hardly a folk musician in California who hasn't shared the stage with him at some point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was eager to join in the antiwar and civil rights causes of the 1960s, she says, and would sing for causes across political boundaries, like a fundraiser he did for children in Lebanon at a time when the Arab community couldn’t find artists who would support their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He felt that everyone should be given a chance to respond to a song,” Near says. “Even on his banjo it says, ‘This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.’ I think he believed that music could cut through all of those things that make us afraid of one another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the McCarthy era, Seeger and other members of the Weavers were accused of belonging to the Communist Party — true in Seeger's case, though he had quit by the time the charge was made — and they would sometimes arrive for concerts to find they were barred from playing. One such episode occurred in Ohio, when a 1951 Weavers appearance at the state fair was canceled. Near says that decades later, when she was touring with Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert and Arlo Guthrie, “the governor of Ohio — must have been 50 years later — invited Pete and Ronnie to come forward, and he did a public apology to them for Ohio’s historic error. It was very, very beautiful to see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near says now is a time to play Pete Seeger's music, sing, dance and feel the joy of having shared the planet with him for so many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In this fleeting moment of transition, 12 artists have taken up a brief residency to create site-specific art installations and invite the public inside.

Some of them took their cues from its medical function, others from the nature of apartment cohabitation, others from the flux and transformation of the space in time and still others from the particular way the light came in the window. All of the work is animated by an Oakland sensibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I selected a few of the artists and then those artists selected the rest,” Jolly says. “So it’s a really varied sample of local work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_123848\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 244px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/01/Matthew-Scheatzle-Tangential-Migration-wood-and-resin-244x300.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-123848\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/01/Matthew-Scheatzle-Tangential-Migration-wood-and-resin-244x300.jpg\" alt='\"Tangential Migration,\" by Matthew Schaetzle (Oakland Local)' width=\"244\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\"Tangential Migration,\" by Matthew Schaetzle (Oakland Local)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The exhibition will be open to the public on weekends through the end of March.

We want this project to be a template for other people who are developing the city of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelfenbeyn and Bagnell are looking to revise the city’s housing laws to allow for unconventional lease agreements like the one they have with \u003cem>ArtComplex\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Jolly’s vision, if installation artists are better able to capitalize on spaces in transition, there is the potential that their work could could be incorporated into the permanent design of the building as it is turned over to a new purpose or owner. The idea is less viable in residential buildings than it is for public facing spaces like restaurants, civic buildings and venues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Real estate interior design tends to involve the staging of fake flowers, a throw rug, but what if we rethought that?” asks Jolly. Given the growth in public appreciation for innovative design and artful architecture, perhaps Jolly’s idea is not only exciting, but inevitable.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nArtComplex will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from Jan. 18 through March 23, from noon to 4 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
