Subject: [hapa-list] GOLF WAR: a documentary (fwd)
Date: Fri, Nov 5, 1999, 6:25 PM




Thanks to film producer Jen Schradie, we all have a special opportunity to
pump up our consciousness about how land in the Philippines is being stolen
from farmers and fisherfolks for the sake of tourism and growth of the golf
industry.

Special teaser showings of Schradie's film, "The Golf War: A story of Land,
Golf and Revolution" are now available for Filipino and non-Filipino
organizations and community groups (even households) throughout the Bay
Area. This incredible film features Tiger Woods in the Philippines promoting
the game of golf while farmers in Hacienda Looc in Southern Luzon are being
murdered and forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands to make way for a
massive four course golf and residential country club.

Footage includes interviews with farmers who have organized themselves to
protect their land, as well as responses from Tiger Woods and his father
regarding the the life sacrifices being made by the native people for the
sake of this upper class recreational pastime.

"Schradie and co-producer DeVries have a bombshell of an expose on their
hands that could stand as exhibit A in the argument for the motion picture
academy to retain its short documentary category in the Oscars." -LA Times

The teaser showings have already inspired many sisters and brothers to learn
more about globalization and take action against the stealing of land in the
Philippines at the hands of transnational corporations who have taken full
advantage of the virtually unlimited exploitation made possible by the Asian
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

These teaser showings take about half an hour and are ideal for regular
meetings that invite powerful guest presentations. These showings are also a
prelude to the Bay Area premiere showing of the Golf Wars in mid-February
2k.

ìHere's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The
round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They're
not fond of rules, and they have no respect for them, disagree with them,
glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do
is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race
forward. And while some may see
them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy
enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.î

Subject: YLEM Mural Grant
Date: Fri, Oct 29, 1999, 9:39 AM


YLEM Artists Using Science and Technology announce
the 2000 Florence J. Shemanski Technology Mural Grant

Contact: Mike Mosher <mikemosh@...>.  This information appears online
at
http://www.ylem.org/NewSite/UnderConstruction/MuralGrant/muralgrant.html

This grant of $1000 will be awarded to an artist under 30 years of age to
support the painting of a public community mural in the year 2000 on the
topic of technology (celebratory and/or critical) and its democratization
on an appropriate site chosen by the artist in either San Francisco, San
Mateo County or Santa Clara County, California.

Mural topics might include: computers in art, office skills, the study of
science in grade schools, fighting irresponsible environmental devastation,
cleaning up industrial pollution, biotechnology, automobiles and public
transporation, space science and flight, appropriate low-tech solutions,
the Internet, video and telecommunications, and visions of the future.
People depicted in the mural should be of diverse races, cultures and of
both sexes, as appropriate for a Bay Area project.

To apply for this grant, the muralist's application package must include:

1) Photos, slides or photocopies of artist's previous work in murals, the
visual arts and/or graffiti.

2) Photo of proposed mural site & its location so the committee can visit
it. An appropriate site might be a school, playground, community center or
social service agency, or outdoor wall of a store on a busy corner.

3) Letter of permission from the building's owner or administrator.

4) Two or more letters of support for the project on the chosen site from
community organizations, teachers or clergy, nearby residents or
neighborhood businesses.

5) Concept sketches or written description of your possible mural theme.
Not the final design, because precise imagery is to be developed with input
from the neighborhood who'll live with the completed work.

The application package may also include (optional):
6) Resume, biography or articles about the artist.

7) A stamped envelope if you wish any materials to be returned.

Please make sure ALL materials are marked with the artist's name, address &
phone.

*** Send your application package by U.S. Mail to YLEM Mural,
c/o Dan Kottke, 251 Webster Avenue, Palo Alto CA  94301.

*** Deadline for applications is December 1, 1999.

A Committee of three YLEM artists will review all grant applications in
December to decide on the recipient. The muralist will then present her/his
mural design to the committee at a meeting approximately one month later in
January, 2000.

$100 will be awarded upon choice of an muralist by the Committee, to
develop the design.
$400 will be awarded upon approval of design, to obtain paints to begin the
mural.
$500 will be awarded upon completion of mural.   The mural must be
completed by May 1, 2000.

The Florence J. Shemanski Technology Mural Grant is given through YLEM by
the artist Mike Mosher in honor of his aunt Florence J. Shemanski
(1903-1997) who painted the first mural he ever saw and always supported
Mike's artistic development.

The Queer Cultural Center's Fall 1999 Web Site Exhibitions

SAN FRANCISCO -- Want something different to do at night? Need to spice up
that coffee break at work? Want to see some great queer art without going
out? Then point that browser to Web Qcc, the Queer Cultural Center's Website,
to view the on-line recreation of four important queer exhibitions -- now
playing at www.queerculturalcenter.org. As part of its efforts to document
Bay Area Queer Cultural History, Web Qcc has launched a program that will
recreate (on-line) outstanding exhibitions and events. Currently, Web Qcc has
recreated four important art exhibitions that were orgininally presented by
the San Francisco Art Institute during the '90s: Nicole Eisenman's Solo
Exhibition (1995), David Cannon Dashiell's Queer Mysteries (1993), Mark
Bradford's Floss, and Inside Out: Voices from Home (June 1990).

Nicole Eisenman's work will make you smile. A strong twist of humor is
blended with great technical skill to communicate political messages in her
murals, drawings and paintings. Influenced by such disparate sources as
Michelangelo, Marc Chagall and Norman Rockwell, Eisenman skewers traditional
sexual stereotypes and gender roles. The artist also absorbs styles derived
from comic books, television, pornography and images from pop culture.

Before his death in 1994, David Cannon Dashiell produced one of the most
dramatic queer works of the '90s. Queer Mysteries is a large-scale mural that
mutates the imagery of the Dionysian murals at the Villa of the Mysteries of
Pompeii into a contemporary artistic and social statement.The installation
was first exhibited at the Walter/McBean Gallery of the San Francisco Art
Institute. Queer Mysteries was later installed at the SFMOMA in 1998 and is
now part of their permanent collection.

Mark Bradford's work draws from art history and the folklore of the Black
American experience. His installation addresses the relationship between
aesthetic participation and racial omission. He attempts to create a
dialectical byproduct throughout his work. The "double-edged sword" of
identity and paradox is illuminated to invoke one contradiction -- only to
challenge another. His exhibit was curated for San Francisco Art Institute by
Laurie Lazer and Darryl Smith.

Inside Out: Voices from Home (June 1990), curated by Rudy Lemcke, was planned
to coincide with the Sixth International AIDS Conference (San Francisco,
California. 1990), and the AIDS Timeline (University Art Museum, U.C.
Berkeley. 1989). Both were the first exhibitions of AIDS artwork to be
presented by major art institutions on the West Coast. The Inside Out
exhibition asked "How do we represent AIDS?" It included fine artists and
political activists, as well as organizations that struggled with the
representation of AIDS for divergent populations. From elegant paintings to
stenciled placards and quilts, this multi-layered exhibition mirrored the
complexity of issues surrounding the AIDS crisis in 1990. Unlike U.C.
Berkeley's AIDS Timeline, Inside Out focused on Bay Area Artists and
organizations. The theme "Voices from Home" reflected "the personal as the
political" message of the exhibition.

Web Qcc is a virtual electronic multidisciplinary venue that provides public
access to outstanding queer artists' work. Several other artists -- Mabel
Maney, Joe Goode, Bernice Bing, Hal Fisher, plus several others -- currently
have work on display.

Web Qcc's presenting, exhibition, interpretive, collecting and archival
programs serve local, national, and international audiences by showcasing
queer artists whose works employ text, video, sound, graphics, and/or
photography. Its programs commission, present and exhibit contemporary and
historical queer art, engage artists, critics and audiences in its
interpretation, and assemble and maintain a permanent collection. Serving as
a multi-purpose virtual venue that promotes the development of queer art,
artists and non-profit arts organizations, the Website publicizes Qcc 's
real-time and virtual programs, archives and interprets significant works,
and engages the community in the creation of new content.

To see all of the artists' work, visit www.queerculutralcenter.org. For more
information, please contact Rudy Lemcke, Website Coordinator, at 415-626-8724

Excerpt from:
SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
Tuesday October 26, 1999

"ELECTRIFYING DRAMA OF POLITICAL MASSACRE"
by Robert Hurwitt
Examiner Theater Critic

                  THE CRIME was so horrendous it's a wonder how
                  little attention it's received, either in the mass
media
                  or in popular lore. Twenty years ago - on Nov. 3,
                  1979 - a pickup truck caravan of Ku Klux Klan
                  and American Nazi Party members drove up and
                  opened fire on an anti-Klan protest rally in
                  Greensboro, N.C. Five people were killed, 11
                  wounded, some disabled for life.

                  The attack took place in broad daylight. It was
                  extensively documented in photographs and on
                  videotape. Despite three trials, not one of the
                  Klansmen or Nazis spent a day in prison or even
                  paid a fine. Nor did the Greensboro Massacre
                  generate the public outrage it deserved. The news
                  was quickly buried by the hostage crisis in Iran.
                  Besides, the victims were not only principally
                  African Americans, Jews and union organizers.
                  They were also members of the Communist
                  Workers' Party.

                  Fortunately, Emily Mann hasn't forgotten.
                  "Greensboro (A Requiem)," which opened Friday in
                  an Unconditional Theatre production at the Buriel
                  Clay Theatre, is Mann's thoughtful, uncompromising
                  and intense dramatic meditation on the event, its
                  causes and repercussions.  ...The total impact
                  is as electrifying as it is provocative.

                  This is theater as news medium, public forum and
                  community resource - which is something of a
                  specialty for Mann, artistic director of the McCarter
                  Theatre in Princeton, N.J. It's what she calls
                  "theater of testimony." As with her earlier plays -
                  "Still Life" (about the after-effects of the Vietnam
                  War), "Execution of Justice" (on the Harvey
                  Milk-George Moscone murders) and the beguiling
                  "Having Our Say" (based on the memoirs of the
                  Delaney sisters) - "Greensboro" is constructed
                  entirely from documentary material and extensive
                  interviews.

                  The play premiered in '96 at the McCarter, directed
                  by Mark Wing-Davey, the man responsible for the
                  exciting version of Brecht's "Galileo" now at
                  Berkeley Rep. The Unconditional production is the
                  show's West Coast debut. The material has an
                  immediacy and primal import that makes you feel it
                  should be shown in every community in the country.

                                       *  *  *

                  But "Greensboro" is a monumental undertaking. The
                  total effect is one of unflinching honesty - in Mann's
                  dedication to exploring personal and political
                  motivations, confronting the mistakes made by the
                  protesters as well as the collusion of police and FBI
                  agents in the massacre and in providing evil with a
                  human face. (As one character, the Jewish son of a
                  Holocaust survivor, says, it's a terrible mistake to
                  think of Hitler's Nazis as monsters: "They were
                  people. That's the problem." ) The story emerges
                  with the multifaceted complexity of Anna Deavere
                  Smith's treatments of the riots in Crown Heights and
                  Los Angeles.

                  Thirteen actors portray a few dozen characters,
                  ranging from survivors of the massacre to the killers,
                  as well as lawyers, an FBI agent and Mann as she
                  conducts her interviews. The scariest of these, at
                  least potentially, are the interview segments with
                  Edward Dawson, a longtime Klan leader and FBI
                  informant who organized the attack on the protest.

                                     *  *  *

                  There are other scary touches of evil, notably a
                  chilling statement of racist principles by a skinhead
                  (Peter Schmuckal, also eerily effective as a
                  self-righteous Klansman assassin and a dogmatic
                  Nazi leader), a rousing white separatist call to arms
                  by a KKK Grand Dragon (Robert Hamm) and,
                  creepiest of all, a lengthy interview with Louisiana
                  racist politician David Duke (a sinisterly congenial
                  and articulate Paul Lancour). Mann cogently traces
                  the shades of virulent racism in our midst and the
                  degrees to which the shadiest camouflage
                  themselves within what passes for mainstream
                  political debate.

                  Solid performances anchor the other side of the
                  debate, particularly those of Mujahid Abdul-Rashid
                  as a vital, reflective Nelson Johnson, the black
                  preacher and Marxist who was a key organizer of
                  the rally, and his fellow survivors: Hamm as a
                  Jewish doctor, paralyzed in the attack; Nancy
                  Madden as his quietly, passionately thoughtful wife;
                  A.J. Davenport and Kim Fowler as women
                  widowed by the attack and rendered apolitical in
                  the aftermath; and Jaxy Boyd, Charles Blackburn
                  and Gigi Steyer in other roles. The afterthoughts of
                  the former radicals, about the degree to which their
                  militant slogan - "Kill the Klan" - contributed to the
                  tragedy, are bracingly honest.

                  Warren stages the show at a thoughtful, reflective
                  pace on Melpomene Katakalos' spare set. The
                  action is punctuated by demonstrations that spill into
                  the aisles, Grant Huberty's projections of jarring
                  documentary photos, and occasional spirituals,
                  beautifully delivered by Fowler and Abdul-Rashid...
                  In the end, Abdul-Rashid provides a gently fervent,
                  radiant ray of hope, as the Rev. Johnson explains
                  his efforts to bridge the racial divide. It's an
                  intriguingly uplifting resolution to a moving and
                  thought-provoking play.

To all our supporters and fans...

Asian Improv Records proudly presents

THE ASIAN IMPROV SAXOPHONE SUMMIT
NUMBER ONE
with
Jeff Chan, Hafez Modirzadeh, and Francis Wong

8pm, Friday, 5 November 1999
Clarion Music, 816 Sacramento Street
San Francisco, (415)391-1317, $10

The Asian Improv Saxophone Summit Number One features
three of the leading saxophonists on the Bay Area
creative music scene joining forces for this first
time trio collaboration.  Tenor saxophonists Jeff
Chan, Hafez Modirzadeh, and Francis Wong have not only
established themselves as musicians who are indebted
to the legacy of the "tenor chase" but are also
contributing music that is uniquely their own to this
lineage of expressive voices.  The Asian Improv
Saxophone Summit will showcase the "state of the
tenor" as well as pay tribute to the heritage of sound
and culture given to us by Coleman Hawkins, John
Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and Fred Anderson as well as
countless other dedicated musicians who have not
received the recognition which they are due.


This very special concert follows a modern-day,
musical "silk road" with influences from Persia and
Asia as well as America shaping the musical dialogue
between the three performers.  Each of these musicians
has developed a unique sound and innovated techniques
that come out of their individual cultural
sensibilities, as well as the need to create something
original and relevant to the times as we enter the
21st century.  It is only appropriate that this
performance is taking place in San Francisco’s
Chinatown, as it is a symbol of the multi-cultural
experience that has shaped all of these musicians.
One would be hard-pressed to think of anyplace else in
the world where this music can happen.

Mr. Wong is one of the leaders of the Asian American
Creative Music movement and has been hailed by San
Francisco Examiner music critic Philip Elwood as being
"…among the great saxophonists of his generation."
Dr. Modirzadeh’s achievements in creating an Iranian
American voice in Jazz led to the development of his
Chromodal method which provides musicians the tools to
innovate their own cross-cultural contexts for musical
performance.  Mr. Chan is among the "next generation"
of Asian American creative musicians and his interest
in the Jazz avant-garde as well as other forms of
improvised and creative music are adding yet another
facet to the movement.

on-line:

Winds Shifting (AIR 0033) by Jeff Chan
The Mystery of Sama’ (AIR 0036) by Hafez Modirzadeh

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EXCURSUS
A festival of experimental and quasi-narrative video shorts
November 5th, 8:30pm at the Delivery Room
November 7th, 7pm at Artists' Television Access


SAN FRANCISCO  (November 3, 1999) -- Thirteen California based video
artists will exhibit short experimental and quasi-narrative videos on
November 5th at the Delivery Room and again on November 7th at Artists'
Television Access (ATA). The two-night video festival is curated by Josh
Churchill and produced by Aaron McIlvain, independent video artists of
the San Francisco Bay Area.  The works featured in Excursus diverge from
traditional subject matter of mainstream video festivals by addressing
subjects that are often neglected, or abandoning subject matter
altogether.

One general theme of the event is subversion, represented in various
forms. Ryan Fitzgerald's piece, "Marty Cohen: Funny Man" is a hilarious
assault on corporate culture and inspirational seminars. In "Processed
Apocalypse," Sarah Lockhart presents a modern Doomsday interpretation,
substituting "fire and brimstone" theology for a stasis of inconvenience
procuring commodities.

Inanimate objects are also given life through two of the videos featured.
In Chris Weisbart's "No What?!" the trials and tribulations of Barbie and
Ken are finally revealed, while in Randy Okamura's "Sok" we learn that
independence is not a quality sought only by humans.

The traditional role of video as a medium is also cast aside in this
festival as it is transformed from simple "moving pictures" into in
landscapes of pixelated color, as seen in
Josh Beckman's "Interstate Dreams," or into intricate collages offound
footage in James Short's "Instants" and Ted Mills' "Universal Leader".

This festival will not only give voice to these underrepresented artists
and their ideas, but it also aims to inspire similar events.  In light of
San Francisco's building boom and the  explosion of the high-tech
industry, artists have been forced from their studios as landlords
cash in on economic opportunities.  As a result,independent and
non-marquis artists have faced discouraging roadblocks when attempting to
share their work with an audience.  Festivals such as Excursus can help
this problem by inspiring the public to take action to save the arts in
San Francisco.



A reception will follow each screening of Excursus. Tickets are available
the night of the performance at the door, and reservations are accepted
for the Delivery Room screening on November 5th by emailing
enterexcursus@.... Admission for each screening is $8. Seating is
extremely limited and the event is anticipated to sell out, so it is
suggested to arrive early.

Dear Friends,

As promised, we have entered the information age and streamlined our
mailing list functions.  We have created three list servs: "Kearny
Street Workshop Announcements", which posts only general Kearny Street
Workshop programming announcements (only KSW staff may post), "KSW-Next
Announcements", which posts both KSW and KSW-Next programming
announcements (only listed KSW-Next members may post), and "KSW
Community Announcements", which posts all announcements we send and all
appropriate announcements which come across our desks (anyone may
post).

We have designed these list servs so that each of you need only
subscribe to one.  The great advantages of such list servs is that you
may choose to receive the posts at home in your email box individually,
daily in digest form, or at longer intervals in digest form.  You may
also choose not to burden your email box at all and simply go online
and view all the posts from the website.  You may also unsubscribe or
subscribe to a different list at any time.  This system is automated.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact Claire
Light at nhksw@... or call 415.5543.0520

Thank you for your continuing support in Kearny Street Workshop!
