So excited to welcome Artist, Frederick Hayes, to the podcast this week. Fred makes graphite drawings and paintings of faces, and he also creates found-material assemblage sculptures that portray the psychological interior of his subjects. Half made up and half based on the street photos that he takes, his portraits conjure up a community of people. These heads function as general archetypes but also as familiar faces that Fred might see in his community, remember from his past, or have seen in the media as victims of racial injustice. Fred Hayes is also an artist who studiously avoids being pigeonholed, and I loved hearing about how he prioritizes freedom in his varied studio practice.

Episode #110 Jonathan Borca – Community Organizer, Story Teller, and Poet This podcast is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Jonathan Borca is a San Jose community leader, performer, and rapper. He is currently the Deputy Director at the School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza and the San Jose District 5 Arts Commissioner. He performs poetry and rap as ‘The Francis Experience.'From his early days in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to his nomadic childhood following his father's Air Force career, Jonathan Borca's journey is one of determinant care for the community. Settling in East Side San Jose at the age of seven, Borca's progressive mother, who introduced him to hip-hop albums from Tupac and Arrested Development, ignited his passion for poetry and the transformative power of music. Borca attended Bellarmine College Preparatory High School in his teens through an East Side pathway program. Reflecting on his time at Bellarmine, he holds two realities to be true: the program did not do enough to support the students from under-resourced backgrounds, but it also was beneficial in developing his interest in pursuing a career in nonprofits. Throughout his journey, music, performance, and storytelling have always been a common thread, sometimes for himself and, more recently, a craft to share with others. Under the moniker ‘The Francis Experience,' Jonathan Borca has crafted a unique storytelling platform. His live performance projects, such as ‘Color Me Gold,' are a fusion of storytelling and various performance genres. These curated performances, featuring a blend of poetry, rap, dance, and jazz, serve as a platform to showcase local San Jose talent. Most Recently, Borca secured a 3-part residency at the San Jose Museum of Art funded by California Humanities. The project, currently preparing for part 2 on April 5, 2024, is titled First Friday: Hip Hop(e), Jazz, & Storytelling that will offer students and diverse audiences community members new ways to engage with exhibition themes of migration, identity, self-love, and inclusion through written and spoken word. The series is presented in partnership with Francis Experience Quartet, with co-founder Gabby Horlick (drums), standout musicians Bennett-Roth (keys, vocals), and Miguel “Frunkyman” Leyva (bass). Together, the quartet blends rap, poetry, and storytelling, which will be augmented by SJ Storyboard's digital art and will showcase with a monthly featured poet). The residency will be offered on SJMA's late-night “First Fridays” with open galleries, held from 6–9 p.m. on April 5, 2024 (Rasanna Alvarez) and May 3 (Tshaka Campbell).In our Conversation, we discuss Jonathan Borca's Background as a youth growing up in East Side San Jose, what led him to a career in nonprofits, and the vital role music plays in his life.

Tino Rodriguez and Virgo Paraiso are metaphysical painters who create solo work and collaborative work.Tino Rodriguez expertly weaves together elements from Catholic idolatry, European Fairy Tales, Celtic fables, Mexican myths, and Native American legends as he explores the complexity of spirituality, sexuality, and transformation. The duality found in Western religions- good and evil, heaven and hell, spirit and body- intermingle in a vision that makes such distinctions irrelevant. Tino was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, he holds an MFA from the University of Albuquerque. His work has been shown in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, Washington DC, and Berlin, and resides in permanent collections at the San Jose Museum of Art (San Jose, CA, The Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento, CA), and the Nevada Museum of Art (Reno, Nevada).Virgo Paraiso describes his work thusly: “Through your divine light, the universe awakens and consciousness blooms…The visions in my paintings are of deep, lush paradise worlds that depict the profound connection between all sentient beings, the oneness of all things. These mindscapes are portals that can open up our sense of perception and remind us of what we truly are in essence, which is infinite love and beauty. We are true divine wisdom. We are the source of existence. We are life itself.” Virgo was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. He grew up between Okinawa, Japan, Hawaii, and San Francisco, and he has studied art, and exhibited in all of these places, as well as New York, Boston, and Berlin. Both Tino and Virgo have done work for The Wachowskis including their Netflix series Sense8, a music video for Antony and the Johnsons, and films including Jupiter Ascending and The Matrix Resurrections.On this Valentine's Day episode, Tino and Virgo discuss creative collaboration as an act of love, the power of mystical art, and the inspiration they get from their community of radical magic-makers.Pam also talks about the concept of the Third Mind, and answers listener questions about bringing some witchcraft to their weddings.Our sponsors for this episode are Juanita Benedicto, Rosarium Blends, BetterHelp, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, and The Pendulum Swings TarotWe also have brand new print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here.And if you want more Witch Wave, please consider supporting us on Patreon to get access to bonus Witch Wave Plus episodes, Pam's monthly online rituals, and more!

Everyone that visits an art exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Art @sanjosemuseumofart sees it from a certain perspective. You arrive through the front doors, enter the gallery space, and experience the exhibition as it's meant to be. But for those who operate behind the scenes like Richard Karson, watching it all come together is the best part. “The joy for me is to really see how [things] can be interpreted and changed in a different way, and how we can constantly push ourselves to do more ambitious things or things in new ways.” - Richard Karson Written by Tessa Cheng @three.legged.cat Photography by Daniel Garcia @TheCultivator Join us on Thursday May 19th at 7p for Content Pick-Up Party 14.3 "Perform" at the Cilker School of Art & Design at West Valley College in partnership with their annual Cilker Art & Design Expo.

Created through a complex system of painting, drawing, cutting, and collaging onto wood panels, her practice is centered around the depiction of figures, symbols, and abstract spaces using multi-layered ornamental surfaces and fields of color. Drawing on her experience as a Japanese-born artist growing up in Brazil and later practicing in the United States, Fueki's work embraces the visual language from these three distinct cultures. As Fueki explains: “I consider myself a mixed-language painter with interest in eastern and western perspectival systems, architectural graphics, pop animation, pre-Renaissance European painting, and exuberant color.”   SHOUT OUTS: Joshua Marsh, Bridget Caramagna, Alexi Worth, Ellen Altfest, Jackie Gendel, Hope Gangloff, Benjamin Degen, Caitlin MacQueen, Todd Knopke   LINKS:  https://www.dcmooregallery.com/   I Like Your Work Links: Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!

#71- Rebecca Herman and Mark Shoffner Rebecca Herman and Mark Shoffner have been artistic collaborators since 1999, creating sculptures and installations incorporating textiles, wood, bamboo, paper, and reclaimed materials.

Do you volunteer in your community? Don’t feel bad if the answer is no. Whether you are currently involved in a cause or not, you probably have some mental image of what it means to be a volunteer. Doniece Sandoval has been doing transformative work for years, most recently as the founder of Lava MaeX, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that began by converting public transportation buses into bathrooms on wheels for the homeless. In today’s episode, she shares tips on how to get started with a cause you care about, and debunks myths about volunteerism that might have kept you from taking action in the first place. Doniece’s work is driven by what she calls “radical hospitality”, the idea that raising the bar on how you serve people is revolutionary. Since launching its service, Lava MaeX has transformed the lives of more than 10,000 Californians. Before tackling hygiene for the homeless, Doniece worked in the arts as head of marketing at the San Jose Museum of Art, and in branding at several major private sector companies. Doniece was recognized as a 2017 CNN Hero. To learn more about "How to Be a Better Human," host Chris Duffy, or find footnotes and additional resources, please visit: go.ted.com/betterhuman

Please join The Commonwealth Club of California and UC Berkeley's Townsend Center for the Humanities for the second in a series of dialogues on catastrophe, storytelling and the present moment. In “Climate Change and Sacred Groves,” Townsend Center scholar Sugata Ray will meet with visual artist Ranu Mukherjee to investigate the relationship between the natural world and the sacred realm, especially as it has developed in India over the last several centuries of civilization and the rise of the Anthropocene era. In his most recent book, Climate Change and the Art of Devotion, Sugata shows how a site-specific and ecologically grounded theology emerged in northern India in the wake of the Little Ice Age (ca. 1550–1850), an epoch marked by climatic catastrophes across the globe. His interests dovetail in unexpected and compelling ways with Ranu's visionary and captivating recent work, which positions the banyan tree as a meeting point between ecology and culture. Their conversation will be an opportunity for viewers to contemplate and rethink the role of art as it relates to contemporary concerns around climate, disease, human flourishing and the sacred. Sugata Ray is associate professor of South and Southeast Asian art in the History of Art Department at the University of California, Berkeley. His research and writing focus on climate change and the visual arts from the 1500s onward. Ray is the author of Climate Change and the Art of Devotion: Geoaesthetics in the Land of Krishna, 1550–1850 (2019); Water Histories of South Asia: The Materiality of Liquescence (2019; coedited); and Ecologies, Aesthetics, and Histories of Art (forthcoming; coedited). Ranu Mukherjee is a visual artist who makes paintings, animations and large-scale installations. Her current work focuses on shifting senses of ecology, non-human agency, diaspora, migration and transnational feminist experience. Her most recent installation was presented at the ecologically focused 2019 Karachi Biennale; she has exhibited solo at the San Jose Museum of Art, the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the Asian Art Museum, and the de Young Museum. She is an associate professor in graduate fine art at the California College of the Arts. Mukherjee is represented by Gallery Wendi Norris. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this (un)making episode, we talk with Ho Chi Minh City-based artist, curator, and cultural organizer Dinh Q. Lê. Lê is probably best known for his photo weavings that interlace Western representations of the American war in Vietnam, from Hollywood films to photojournalists’ documentation. His use of a traditional mat weaving technique, taught to him by his aunt, breaks apart and reassesses those fragmentary depictions through a Vietnamese lens. Along with those iconic pieces, Lê has explored issues of migration, trauma, collective memory, and global conflict through videos and photographs. We spoke briefly about one of the pieces, The Colony, which mixes drone footage of guano mining on the Chincha islands, video of Chinese vessels harassing Vietnamese boats in the South China Sea, and standoffs between the US and Chinese planes in international airspace to explore the human and ecological impact of global capital against the backdrop of the continuing neo-imperial struggles for territory and control. Our discussion of his current solo exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art, True Journey is Return, serves as a jumping off point for a conversation about the forced departure of Vietnamese refugees in the wake of the American War in Vietnam and the return of many in the community to the home of their births, including Lê himself. We talk about how these journeys have impacted his work and expanded his worldview, the visual strategies he uses to contend with images, and the rebuilding of collective cultural memories. -- Subscribe to Art Practical on iTunes to catch (un)making as soon as it publishes, or look for it here every other Wednesday!

Cut it, tweak it, weld it, and crank it up to your wildest imagination. Welcome to the creative obsession of the art car world with grand crankster David Best, the modern master of assemblage who has transformed more than 30 vehicles into mobile works of art. In the Spark episode "Art Meets Pop Culture," tag along as Best and his team transform a 1973 Cadillac into a 40-foot rocket car, their mode of transportation at the 2003 Burning Man Festival. In creating his art cars, Best strips vehicles down to the core before reconstructing them, striving to make the car's original form unrecognizable. Rather than merely gluing objects to the body of a car, Best, who religiously goes to the dump, likes to use found object materials that ultimately take on their own personality. After making 30 art cars and 2 buses, Best has worked with over 10,000 people. The car artist attributes his success to his collaborators, as he believes a mixture of talents is what brings spark to his projects. Based in Petaluma, Best's work has been shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Oakland Museum of California, the San Jose Museum of Art, and the di Rosa Preserve, where the collection includes Best's "Rhinocar" and "Mother Tina's Car."

In this video Todd Schorr discusses his process of creating a painting - from the initial drawing, to the color study, to the laying paint on the canvas. Additionally he talks about using acrylic paints the way one would use oils. Todd Schorr: American Surreal is the first mid-career retrospective of the Los Angeles-based artist. Schorr is a leading figure in Southern California's cartoon-based movement, dubbed Pop Surrealism, which embraces low-brow culture and a ribald graphic style indebted to pop sources such as Mad magazine. Schorrs astonishing, highly polished realism, (inspired by Bosch, Brueghel and Dali), sets him apart from his best-known peers such as Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden. The exhibition, curated by SJMAs Senior Scholar and Curator of Collections Susan Landauer, is accompanied by a book published by Last Gasp, San Francisco. Exhibition runs June 20 through September 16, 2009 at the San Jose Museum of Art.
