Chance Operations/FREE/the o show

o my!

I have been introduced to the rest of the Climate Theater community and lots of stuff is coming up. i hope all of you can be at any of these:

The Climate Theater
285 9th Street (at the corner of Folsom)
SF, CA

Chance Operations: Saturday, October 25 8pm to midnight, Ten bucks (sorry)
A one night art and perfermance event that explores the theme of chance in practice, process, motif, presentation or execution. Participating artists include: Kirkman Amyx, Victor Cartegena, Reenie & Maurice Charriere, Luis Delgado, Alan Disparte, Double Vision, Mary Franck, Margueritte Harris & Louis Rawlins, Lynn Kirby, Beth Lilly, Valerie Mendoza, Kathleen Quillian & Gilbert Guerrero, Niki Shapiro, Tim Thompson

The piece in Chance Operations, "... the air we breath" is the beginning of what will be built during my residency in the Microclimate Project Space.

An homage to the ubiquitous FREE sign, I will begin building an igloo from deconstructed magazine and catalog pages I collect from my friends (you) and local neighbors and businesses. The igloo will eventually be set free in the real world, given a clear plastic shell and become my outdoor studio.

Here are the dates:

The residency starts November 1 and ends December 15. During that time, Monday -Friday, 5-8pm, I will work in the Micro-climate semi public project space. The open studio is great for visitors to stop by and forfeit unwanted (preferably glossy and colorful) print media or to have a quick string theory/paper sculpting workshop.

Also, to express how important the ring shape is to our lives, I have invited some artists who also make work based on this idea.

The o Show: Sunday, November 16, 5-8pm FREE
Presenting: Ryan Alexyiev, Climate Curatorial Collective, Jose de los Reyes, Hiroyo Kaneko, Nanda Palmieri, Barbara Rothman, Niki Shapiro, Mario Trejo, Sarah Willis + Jennifer Rarick

FREE: closing reception, December 14, 3-6pm
Come hang out in the suspended igloo made from paper rings. If you dropped off print media, there will be a little paper sculpture with your name on it waiting for you. This is a great time to meet other art and tree loving people or just enjoy the shadows cast by all them o's.

Hope to see you soon!!

cool mentor opportunity

Hey everybody--
I just found out about this new project in SF. This cool photo guy named Theo Rigby is going to be starting a photo project connected to La Raza centro Legal. La Raza is an organization that supports and advocates for the undocumented day laborer community in SF. One of my closest friends is a lawyer there. Anyway, her friend Theo got some money to do a photo project with undocumented youth. He is going to be pairing up the youth with photo mentors and leading photo and writing projects that stress telling your own story. He is now looking for people who might want to be mentors. I'm gonna do it I think. If anybody is interested or wants to know more let me know. The pic. by the way is from the Fostering Art classroom that I taught in and now sorely miss. And last but not least....CONGRATS EVE!!!!!!

I'm DONE and I SURVIVED, barely!

Hey there - I finished and I'm totally exhausted!! Did you all meet yet? I'd love to see what everyone is up to and gab over a VERY BIG GLASS OF WINE!
Thanks Niki for your note. I really appreciate it. I hope to see you all soon,
Eve

GOOD LUCK EVE!

one more to go... you'll do great!
can't wait to hear about it.

Studios

FYI the Hive is renting studios. They've got 2 available now and 2 later. Anyway, just thought I'd put their website up for folks to see. www.hivestudios.org

One World Portfolio review

Hey Everybody--
Photo Alliance's One World Portfolio review is happening in March. You show your pics to lots of editors and gallerists etc etc. The deadline to apply is Feb. 15th. I did it last year, and although it didn't catapult me to fame and fortune I actually found it really worthwhile. Check out Photo Alliance's website for more info. Email me if you have specific questions. But I think I'm doing it again.
