so i came to the blog cause i had no idea how i would find artistsssss.
and then i say the links posted right at the top, it was perfect.

on afonline.artistsspace.org/
i really liked Irene Gennaro's Ex Votive Series.
Peter Illig-he's pieces have a lot going on with different people in the paintings, telling a story.
Pamela Joseph- has a lot of paintings with women in them. i found her when i typed in "hardships" in the key word searh box.
Michael Janis was my favorite because i thought his work was rather perfect. it fit really will with the psychological part of our theme. Like how people think its important to fit in, like how they think makes them insecure.

Goodbye Kate and Thank You! Hello Jaime.

At yesterday's class, Kate, our curatorial godmother, announced that as of this Friday, September 19, she will be leaving her position as Interim Director of Visual Arts for YBCA as a new Director of Visual Arts Betti-Sue Hertz was announced.

This is sad news, but Kate assured us that she will continue to check in periodically to see our progress as a curatorial team, and will accompany us to a few of the artist studio visits for those artist whom she suggested. The YAAWs that were present spoke very openly and gratefully to Kate thanking her for her service and getting their final questions to her. I want to thank her for the time that she did spend with us. She provided a solid foundation for the understanding of the curatorial duties that we will face, and was very instrumental in helping us arrive to the curatorial statement and themes for our show. Once again, I am very grateful for her participation.

In the same breath, I want to also introduce Jaime Cortez, who will take over Kate's responsibilities as the curatorial teacher. Jaime comes to us with a great deal of experience as a curator and artists. You might be familiar with his oceanic photos of naked people in the current Galleon Trade section of our BAN 5 show. You can click here to see Jaime's current blog of some of his work and writings.

Our first day with Jaime was fun. He took us to the Hotel des Arts for an New Art '08 opening, where hotel rooms were decorated by various artists and occupied with emerging artists whose work was hung or for sale in person. I bought a postcard from the talking postcard machine and a stenciled Obama card. Monica bought 6 of them. She's still got the Obama fever. The opening was cool. Welcome Jaime to the New SuperSheroes Team.

From the moment that we are all conceived, humans endure from start to finish of our lives. Naturally we endure through our environment; physically we go through the changes of our body; psychologically our minds attempt to digest more and more information to better our understanding of the world around us. The art and artists of this exhibition convey personal experiences that connect to our own daily lives in hope that the viewers become more aware, more acute in what happens in the seconds of today.

We welcome you to enter through our doors and experience the world through future eyes.

This exhibition is about the organic endurance of nature; both the physical and the psychological.
This exhibition seeks to connect and investigate artists' work of personal experience in endurance and/or passion for endurance of nature; physically and psychologically.

Evan Bissell

Here is a link for Evan Bissell. I think Kevin at Intersections might have talked about him during your visit. He did a project with Youth Speaks and of people on the 22 Fillmore bus. Check him out, and pay attention to his approach to youth and community.

We are all unique and different in our own ways. One person's fingerprint is never the same as anyone else. Although we are all different, we all feel pain and we all feel happiness in our lives.
