steve-2Join us on Saturday March 14th at 6pm for the closing reception of Tell It Goodbye: Steve Kerwin’s Candlestick Catharsis. Steve is a third generation Candlestick Park employee and native born San Franciscan. His grandfather was the chief engineer at Candlestick, his father and mother both worked there and Steve worked Candlestick once, on the closing night – Paul McCartney’s “Last Pick at the Stick.” During his one shift he managed to steal a few signs, was paid in beer and a free ticket and got so drunk that he only remembers Paul’s first song. Steve is heartbroken like the rest of us at the simple fact that times change. Lets help him heal. This one night only exhibition will be made entirely from Steve’s personal collection of Candlestick memorabilia.

There will be gourmet Tacos (three kinds) Margarita’s and a Cocktail or two for sale at 1981 prices.

Listening Exercise #1 will be held on Saturday October 18th at 4pm. The day will start with a yoga session led by Katie Colver of the band Cave Clove over Dr. John’s late 60’s Psyche Rock masterpiece Gris Gris. The yoga class will be appropriate for and open to all experience levels. The event will wind down with two albums inspired around, rumored to be influenced by and obviously in the same vein as Gris Gris. Their Satanic Majesties Request by the Rolling Stones and Thanks God For Mental Illness by The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Beer and wine will be served after the session, Sophie Leininger’s Magic Carpet Yoga Mats will be available to demo, desire and purchase if interested and there is a decent chance for glitter and a disco ball.

PAINT, PLATE, PUNCH, PILE
a closing reception for FRESH PAINT

punch-2
On May 16th, fresh sheets of paint were installed on the wall, from the ceiling, off the wall and draped over sawhorses. Over the course of nearly 2 months, these “fresh” paint sheets, stitched together only by their own sticky-ness, have evolved, melted, stretched, torn, expired.
We hope you can join us for what I like to consider the Ribbon Cutting, but really there is no ribbon. There is no grand opening either.  Instead, a special closing celebration in which guests can witness and participate in the dismantling and repurposing  of the lengthy stretches of paint sheets by hole punching  them into confetti, a celebratory material.

5pm Cocktail hour with Confetti Punch (for drinking)

6pm “Ribbon Cutting”

6:30-8pm Punching Paint (into confetti)

8pm Weigh your paint confetti pile for a chance to win!

Southern Machine Exposure Project Event 18 of 20

Torreya Cummings (SF)

Artist and Project Information:

Torreya Cummings
Destry Rides Again, Again
Information: Destry Rides Again, Again takes the form of two tableaux vivants adapted from the 1939 Marlene Dietrich film “Destry Rides Again”, a western in which it is unclear if we’re in 1870, 1939, Texas, Hollywood, or a nightclub. Tableaux were a popular form of 19th century parlor entertainment, largely replaced by cinema. For this piece, we combine Dietrich’s 1930’s cabaret, a 1870’s Texas saloon, and stage it in a 2012 parlor.

Instead of physically wrestling one another (as in the abstracted scene from the movie) the actors will be fighting gravity, time, and fatigue by holding their mid-brawl positions for as long as they can.

Emily Auble & Miriam Jones
What do you want?: Visions in H.D.
Information: Placing architecture, objects, and the silver screen in conversation with the poem “Tribute to the Angels” by poet H.D., Miriam and Emily invite you to contemplate the space between desire and reality, reality and image, and all the in betweens where we find ourselves questioning our perception.
