Jewelers Make the Holidays Sparkle
The
Jewelry Artisans Collective Trunkshow
Saturday, December 13th
The
Jewelry Artisans Collective will
be holding its annual holiday trunk show on Saturday, December
13th from 12 PM until 7 PM.
Founded
in 2007 by students at the renowned Revere
Academy of the Jewelry Arts in San Francisco,
the JAC is comprised of more than a dozen
Bay Area metal artists. The artists invited to join are
dedicated to developing a creative network within the jewelry
community, while fostering personal growth through design
projects. These themed projects encourage each artist to
explore new techniques and challenge them to design pieces
that are stylistically different from their other work.
Some themes are very specific (“Art Nouveau,”)
while others (“Layers,” “Action Jewelry”)
are left open to interpretation. These design projects will
be on display and offered for sale at the show.

LTD / WEST COAST ART & DESIGN, ART REVIEWS, JULY 2007
SAN
FRANCISCO
Matt Gonzalez at LINCART
"Here is the relevant information: In 2003, Matt
Gonzalez was the president of the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors, and at that time he also made an insurgent,
under-funded run for mayor as a Green Party candidate,
coming alarmingly close to winning the office. Soon thereafter,
he returned to private life, no doubt contenting himself
with the fact that many of his innovative political ideas
found some implementation in the city’s new and
forward-looking government. Now Gonzalez is back in the
public eye, but not because of his political activities.
Instead, he returns as a self-taught artist who makes
intimate, witty and charming collage works, 25 of which
are on view in this exhibition. The temptation to read
these works as imaginary records of the process of a “picking
up the pieces” that we might assume comes along
with the retreat from public life is all but irresistible..

Featuring painting and works by

Teddi
Dean Benett
Sea and the sky were a single ash-gray thing and the sands of
the beach, which on the March nights glimmered like powdered
light, had become a stew of mud and rotten shellfish. The light
was so weak at noon that when Pelayo was coming back to the
house after throwing away the crabs, it was hard for him to
see what it was that was moving and groaning in the rear of
the courtyard. He had to go very close to see that it was an
old man, a very old man, lying face down in the mud, who, in
spite of his tremendous efforts, couldn't get up, impeded by
his enormous wings.
Kevin
Price
Kevin Price is a local self-taught artists. A traditionalist
exploring the human forms, abstract relationships with apathy,
desperation, love and hunger.
 Debut
Lit, May 26th:
DEBUT LIT is a national nonprofit arts event series dedicated
to helping new writers gain a wider audience. Its mission is
to combine the release of a new literary work with parties that
merge art, music and readings. DEBUT LIT believes that new work
deserves a new idea and literature can come alive in ways it
never has before.
This
was Debut Lit’s first West Coast event spotlighting RANDOM
HOUSE author Phil LaMarche and his acclaimed
debut novel American Youth. In addition DEBUT
LIT introduces Julian Kudritzki, whose short story "Blood
on Blue Lawns" is forthcoming in NY Tyrant.
