Literally meaning “head foot” – cephalopods are the shapeshifters of the subaquatic world. Ambulatory on land and jet-power ed in water\, these brainy creatures change color to conceal themselves and elude predators amidst clouds of ink. The surrealist pioneer of underwater filmmaking Jean Painleve captures their essence in his “Love Life of the Octopus” (1967\, 14 min.). We’ll also show Steve Haddock & Brad Siebel ’s “Baby Squid\, Born Like Stars” (2006\, 6 min.). Then we’ll explo re cephalopod adaptations through the dissection of a Humboldt squid and ma ke Gyotaku prints using squid ink. Special guests include Justin Holl & Pet er Winch from Gulf of the Farallones Visitor Center and printmaker Julie Wh itcomb.

In her most recent book\, The Wordy Shipma tes (2008)\, Vowell writes about the Puritans who settle Massachusetts in a way that makes a seemingly dry subject endlessly entertaining. She says\, "I seem to write about subjects elderly right wingers care about in a manne r that is palatable to their bleeding-heart offspring."

David Sedaris calls Sarah Vowell the p ioneer of a new category\, "funny historian." Her many pieces for This Amer ican Life\, where she has been a contributing editor since 1996\, range in subject from traveling the Trail of Tears with her sister to her own Goth m akeover. Her distinctive voice also earned her the part of the introverted teenager\, Violet Parr\, in Pixar's award-winning animated film The Incredi bles. Vowell's writing has appeared in numerous publications\, including Th e Village Voice\, Esquire\, GQ\, The New York Times\, The Los Angeles Times \, The San Francisco Weekly\, and the online magazine Salon.\n\nDaniel Hand ler is an author\, screenwriter\, and accordionist whose novels include The Basic Eight\, Watch Your Mouth\, and Adverbs.

DESCRIPTION:Join us at San Francisco Center for the Book for a free screeni ng of "Proceed and Be Bold\," a documentary about letterpress artist Amos K ennedy.\n***\nAmos Paul Kennedy Jr. is an internationally recognized printi ng press artist\, though he would rather be referred to as a “humble negr o printer.” He tossed aside his corporate 9-to-5 job at AT&T and chose to live in rural Alabama towns and go wherever his art takes him. Amos found his calling making chipboard posters that are socially\, politically\, and racially charged: with quotes from Sojourner Truth\, Rosa Parks\, and phras es like “coffee makes you black.” This documentary film probes Kennedy\ , his friends\, family and colleagues in an attempt to unravel the artist s raison d’etre.

The work will occupy the Rare Device gallery July 9 August 31\, 2010. A reception for the show will be held Friday\, July 9\ , 2010 from 7 - 9 pm.\n\nThe work of Boston artist Leah Giberson falls some where between the worlds of photography\, painting and collage. "I begin ea ch piece with photographs of seemingly ordinary and mundane scenes\, which I then paint directly upon to distill and reveal the visually poignant mome nts that exist all around us\, but are usually overlooked\," says Giberson. There is a quiet anxiety and loneliness in her images of isolated houses\, empty chairs\, abandoned pools and vacant streets. Shadows loom from unkno wn/unseen sources\, horizon lines become uncomfortably close\, people are a bsent and clues about time and geography are obscured. The work for This is What Remains includes imagery from the suburban landscape of 1950's era ho mes from Daly City\, right outside San Francisco.\n\nThough her work typica lly depicts suburban scenes\, Giberson was raised by artists deep in the wo ods of New Hampshire. She received her BFA in painting from Massachusetts C ollege of Art in 1997 and has lived in Boston since finishing school. She m ade her living as an interactive designer and art director for over ten yea rs\, but now paints almost full time. Giberson has had recent solo exhibiti ons at Gallery M\, Boston (2009)\; Nahcotta\, Portsmouth\, NH (2009)\; and Office PDX\, Portland (2008). Her work has also been included in numerous g roup shows\, online galleries and private collections.\n\nRare Device is a store and gallery that features functional experiments and original ideas i n art\, design\, craft and fabrication. Owners Rena Tom and Lisa Congdon co nstantly seek out objects that are beautiful\, evocative\, well constructed and thoughtful. We are pleased to bring to our San Francisco store an ever -growing roster of local\, national and international artists and designers for a truly "rare" experience.\n\nRare Device (raredevice.net) is located at 1845 Market Street between Valencia and Guerrero Streets.

His work spans photography\, sculpture\, and performance with an emphasis on the experien ce of the contemporary city. His most recent local show was the SoEx-sponso red "Home Is Something I Carry With Me."\n\n"Midden City" is Pyle's latest expression juxtaposing photograph and sculpture.\n\n-----\n\nI work in the tradition of the urban ramble\, or dérive. Relying on serendipity to guide my eye\, I frequently find raw materials for sculpture in the same locatio n where photographs are taken: construction sites\, zones of industrial dec ay\, forgotten corners. Inspired by frescos painted into plaster\, I use a photograpic transfer process to build sculpture out of the urban fabric of cast-off concrete and brick.\n\nStructures built from this type of unnotice d background material make up the bulk of what we leave for others to disco ver. From the ruined echoes of vernacular architecture -- Roman aqueducts\, middens of discarded shells -- the future decides who we were.\n\nOur lega cies are rarely exactly what we intend.\n\n- Simon Pyle\, 2010 ORGANIZER;CN=Cris Tcheyan Projects:http://thebolditalic.com/clips/1333-cris -tcheyan-projects UID:thebolditalic-sanfrancisco-1335 DTSTAMP:20100712T175620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20100712T180911Z SEQUENCE:2 CLASS:PUBLIC DTSTART:20100717T010000Z DTEND:20100718T230000Z LOCATION:389 Church Street\nbetween 15th and 16th Sts\nSF\, CA 94114 URL:http://thebolditalic.com/clips/1335-midden-city-by-simon-pyle END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Memento Vivere: New Work by Grady Gordon DESCRIPTION:Grady Gordon’s latest body of work\, "Memento Vivere\," inves tigates the spirit world and the invisible.

Working in the vernacular of political propaganda posters\, these deftly executed g rease pencil drawings feature an ongoing cast of fur-\, feather-\, and scal e-bearing creatures. What seems like an extraordinary balancing act of good humor and earnest pledges of allegiance\, Eggers creates a menagerie that speaks to our very human condition. The gallery will be hung with over 300 of these drawings\, covering nearly every square inch of wall space. You'll laugh\, you'll cry.\n\nElectric Works is also pleased to present drawings from David Byrne's "Arboretum" series. At first glance\, these seemingly si mple pencil-on-paper drawings look like sketches or notes taken during a bu siness meeting or a biology class. They quickly reveal themselves to be car efully wrought diagrams (often in "tree" format) illuminating the relations hip of objects\, concepts and connections from our everyday lives. Those fa miliar with Byrne's lyrics and other writing will feel at home among these drawings\, which in an odd way feel very much like instructions for writing songs.

How does this happen? In today's world\, wher e environmental disasters of tragic magnitude have practically become the n orm\, where ongoing wars are being fought simultaneously on multiple fronts \, and where we’re in the midst of the worst economic catastrophe since t he great depression\, it’s apparent that we are living in "heavy times". In some way or another\, each of us carries the weight of our times\, if n ot in a physically tangible way\, at the very least in the mind. How are w e dealing with all of this? What is the current state of contemplation surr ounding it? Where does the resulting energy find a resting place? Can bad t hings actually be transformed into good? \n\nIt is not the intent of this e xhibition to address any of these issues directly\, as much as it is to add ress the individual’s unconscious and conscious responses to the current state of affairs that dominates our political and social landscape. Oftenti mes\, we attempt to escape the heaviness\, through expressions of laughter\ , serenity\, or even music. Sometimes\, we attack the weight head-on\, usin g pent up energy that inevitably needs to find its release somewhere. In th is exhibition\, eleven artists address this placement\, both definitively a nd abstractly\, and in the two-dimensional and the sculptural.

Each artist employs a conceptual approach to explore our shif ting perceptions of actual materials\, whether imperfect\, familiar\, absur d or poetic. The artists reframe structures and systems we encounter\, wit h a special emphasis on points of failure and weakness\, and the possibilit ies that arise when a system breaks down or changes course.\n \nErika Lynne Hanson is interested in the points of tension within every structure. Hans on's sculptures and installations emphasize the tension that is created whe n one is faced with collapse\, failure. Her goal is to alter the traditiona l notion of destruction as a negative and find a cheerful optimism in the c hange of states.\n \nThrough an engagement with past artworks\, Sasha Krieg er examines the practice\, possibilities and challenges of self-reflexivity and the contemporary tendency to make art about art. Her work addresses th e role of referencing in acts of creative production as originality\, altho ugh seemingly impossible\, may exist in how we play off and interpret past productions.\n \nIn a practice that encompasses drawing and the careful sel ection of sculptural materials\, Maggie Haas looks for moments when the str ange and the familiar collide. Working with instantly recognizable building materials and items from the craft store\, Haas is interested in the momen ts where these things waver in a moment of transformation\; when wood is a plank and part of a wall\, when a drawing oscillates between object and sur face.\n \nHillary Wiedemann's interest lies in the transience of perception \, transmission and reception\, translation and conception\, and in a word\ , her word\, transception. This word has no set definition and can be given only through examples. While some examples are in written form\, some are better given through visual experience. For Wiedemann\, Transceptions exis t in the exploration of the in-between spaces of experiences\, the subtle m oments of perception. It is the transfer from the unknown to the known\, an d the shift back to the unknown. It can be when you are looking and then se e\, when you are hearing and then listen\; the shift from the passive to th e active\, and sometimes back again.\n\nwww.candystorecollective.com ORGANIZER;CN=Candystore Collective:http://thebolditalic.com/clips/834-candy store-collective UID:thebolditalic-sanfrancisco-1374 DTSTAMP:20100714T204501Z LAST-MODIFIED:20100714T205028Z SEQUENCE:6 CLASS:PUBLIC DTSTART:20100717T020000Z DTEND:20100717T040000Z LOCATION:3153 16th Street\nSan Francisco\, CA 94103 URL:http://thebolditalic.com/clips/1374-reinterpretation---opening-night-pa rty END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:City of Stairways reading at the Green Arcadee DESCRIPTION:Join the young authors of City of Stairways: A Poet’s Field G uide to San Francisco as they read from this new book about San Francisco.
