Over 300 Artists in San Francisco’s Mission District
Collaborate to Host Mission Open Studios
San
Francisco, CA – March 20th, 2007 – Mission Open Studios is a new
collaboration among working artists studios in San Francisco's Mission
District. The area bordered by Mission Street, Potrero Avenue, and 17th Street,
originally an industrial section of the Mission, is evolving into a vibrant,
growing Artist District. Anchored by Project Artaud, Developing Environments,
and Art Explosion's 17th Street Studios, the area has seen the addition of
1890 Bryant, Workspace, Compound 21, Art Explosion Alabama St., Root Division
and The Blue Studio.
This spring, these studios will collaborate to host Mission
Open Studios, opening their doors to the public for an amazing weekend of art
viewing on Saturday and Sunday, May 12 and 13. All studios are located within
blocks of each other, with more than 300 accomplished artists participating.
Mission Open Studios will give thousands of visitors an opportunity to view
and purchase beautiful, challenging and affordable art.
A preview night, hosted by all 9 studios, will take place
Friday, May 11, from 7 pm to 11 pm. Each studio will host previews, so
visitors can move from venue to venue for a first look at studios and a great
night on the town.

SHELTER
Photographs
by Liena Vayzman
Reception: Sunday, May 6 7-10pm @ ATA
Liena Vayzman’s photographs of a day shelter for the homeless
on Chicago's South Side speak of exile, transition, and constructions of
‘home’. The project includes color portraits and interviews with individuals
about experiences with health care access, poverty, homelessness, and the
criminal justice system, as well as photographs of the shelter’s spaces, food
service, and human interactions. “Shelter” balances individuals' unique
stories with poignant photographic meditations on a space of transition. Vayzman’s
photographs reveal a striking connection between photographer and subject and
a keenly observed sense of the overlooked details of daily life.

Most Wanted
by Taraneh Hemami
@ Intersection for the Arts 446 Valencia
May 9 - June 30, 2007
Gallery Hours: Tues by appt, Wed - Sat, 12 - 5pm, FREE
Opening Reception: Wednesday, May 9 at 6pm
Most Wanted, a solo exhibition by Iranian-born
painter, installation and conceptual artist Taraneh Hemami, investigates the nature of
perception, recognition, and representation while examining the construction
of the image of the new enemy. Interpretations of a series of faceless
portrayals of the most wanted terrorists as identified by the United States
government contemplate the ways in which stereotypical perceptions of people
are created while pondering the relationship between image and identity.
Exploring themes of displacement, preservation, and belonging, her paintings,
sculptures, works on paper, and installations investigate the in-between
spaces: between art, artifact and architecture; between two and
three-dimensional space; between technology and hand crafted objects.
