Visual Narratives: “Shut Up Honky”

By Leena Prasad

Your Existence Gives Me Hope, a sidewalk stencil proclaimed. I pulled out my tiny digital camera

and snapped a quick shot, happy to add another entry to my growing visual journal of these phrases

stenciled into the sidewalks of The Mission neighborhood. A few weeks later I noticed a similar stamp,

except with a small update. Next to the Your Existence Gives Me Hope was also stamped Your

Existence Gives me Diarrhea. Although I enjoyed the gushy sentimentality of the original grafﬁti, I was

delighted to see that the original clichéd stencil had been retroﬁtted into the mission culture.

Several months ago, I had written a column about the Kill Yuppys sidewalk grafﬁti. Since then, there has

been an exponential increase in these pavement grafﬁti and an antagonistic conversation seems to have

started between the original ‘artist’ and some of the grafﬁti audience. A quick search on Google revealed

a wide fascination with these sidewalk stencils: there were photos posed on Flickr.com, Webshots.com,

Tribe.net, and many other websites.

Who is behind these sidewalk musings? I met a documentary ﬁlmmaker who wants to ﬁnd and interview

the ‘artist.’ On the social network tribe.net, some guess that the messages are from a Christian group

spreading its gospels. There is an ongoing debate whether these are art, vandalism, or public service.

I’m not interested in knowing the artist or the culprit or the religious fanatic. The stencils have simply

added a new dimension to my regular walks. Whenever I see the ubiquitous I Want You So Bad or You

Make My Dreams Come True or any of the other original stencils followed by an editorial Shut Up Honky,

I feel an afﬁrmation of the character of The Mission, a place with a personality that I love more than any

other neighborhood in San Francisco. I love ﬁnding a stamp that I have not seen before or a response

to existing ones. I especially enjoy the fact that the new stencils are attempting to wrestle back The

Mission voice from the original mushy gushy potentially religious messages that are out of tune with

the ‘rebel with a cause’ Mission culture. It is kin to experiencing an emotional discussion between two

friends.

I’m sure that not everyone is as gushingly supportive of these minor forms of entertainment as I am and

might look upon them as nothing more than vandalism. During a recent walk, I started looking around

the grafﬁti to see if they were destroying the ambience of their surroundings. The effect was actually

quite the opposite. They detract from some of the old, worn our and sometimes dirty sidewalks. I don’t

see these stencils in my own Noe Valley neighborhood where ﬂowers and plants abound on the sidewalk

Mission Arts Monthly Oct/Nov 2006 www.missionarts.org page 3

and where these stamps would probably be washed out immediately if they were ever to make an

appearance. I’m not sure that it’s necessarily a good thing to paint over them – they would add a

delightful character to the immaculately clean Noe Valley.

To anyone who dislikes them, I’d say ‘just walk over it.’ The objective of art is to stir emotions, to

force people out of their everyday existence and to think beyond their world. These stenciled stamps

have managed to do that by stirring a dialogue. They’ll dissolve into the landscape in a few months

so we won’t have to use taxpayer funds to wash over them. They also bring attention to sidewalks

in desperate need of maintenance. If the grafﬁti causes Mayor Gavin Newsom to clean up the

pavements, these stamps would have achieved a much needed neighborhood restoration service.

There is a case to be made for these as a valid genesis of art. The tradition of mural paintings,

which started as unsanctioned painting of public walls, has become a publicly funded San Francisco

tradition. Artists like Keith Herring whose works now hang in major museums, got their start via grafﬁti

art. If those voices had been turned off, we would have missed the core inﬂuences of much of modern

visual art and had been stuck with the tired centuries old art that does not

speak to the new generations or to the people whose ancestry is not rooted in the European

traditions.

I hope these stencils cheer up some people. I’m certainly entertained by the sarcastic responses and

would be happy to support their existence with my tax dollars.

Terror?

@ Intersection for the Arts 446 Valencia Street

September 11 - November 11, 2006, FREE

Gallery Hours: Tues by appointment, Wed - Sat, 12-5pm

Terror? is an international interdisciplinary project investigating how each one of us experiences fear and how it affects

our lives.

Opening on the 5th Anniversary of 9/11, this ambitious exhibition will include hundreds of works on paper from around

the world - creating a cacophony of personal and collective response to some of the most immediate questions and

issues of our times. What is terror? Who perpetrates it? How does fear control us, and the world around us? Who

are we taught to be afraid of, why? What does fear cost? Where does personal fear intersect with larger societal and

political messages of terror? It is our hope and intention to engage with and share voices and perspectives from a

diversity of cultures, political situations, and artistic practices, and to counter the continuing trend towards deﬁning and

understanding notions of terror and fear as a monolithic paradigm framed by the ongoing “war on terror.” In addition to

an exhibition in our gallery, Terror? includes a ﬁlm screening, readings, public discussions and performance.

The MAPP

MISSION ARTS & PERFORMANCE PROJECT

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

The Mission Arts & Performance Project is a bi-monthly collaboration between visual artists, musicians, poets

and performers. The MAPP puts art and performance on the street level by using alternative spaces such as

private garages, basements, and studios. It’s a block party of the arts for inspiring in ourselves, and others, the

desire for a creative existence, an ever widening experience of life.

By transforming garages and backyards into

mini-galleries MAPP shows how ordinary

spaces can be made extra-ordinary to

bring people together to share in a diverse

experience of ﬁne art and performance. The

garages, as they are unpretentious and open

to the street, pose the possibility of exposing

the arts to a lot of folks who might not ever

enter a gallery or theater. This process

helps take the art from the margins of our

communities to where it may come to be

more widely see and understood as a vibrant

and vital force necessary to the health of our

society. It is our hope that local residents and

others attending the MAPP will be inspired

to seek expression of their own experiences

and feelings through creative means and join

in sharing what they have discovered in the

MAPP events to come.

1PM-4PM

The FAMILY MAPP

- Red Poppy Art House -

The MAPP now offers a full afternoon of

activities for youth. Mural & sidewalk art, face

painting, tie dye, drum circle, dance, and

healthy snacks.

The MAPP

Art Exhibits, Music, Poetry, Dance, & Film in 13 Locations!

The MAPP features performances and art exhibits simultaneously and for one night only at locations listed

going off in the neighborhood. The following is a list of spaces with some of the acts and exhibiting artists.

IN THE STUDIO...

Meri Page Design Fresh organic art glass, inspired by nature.

Rarely starting from a pattern, these stained glass pieces evolve

spontaneously - each one unique. An exploration of organic shapes,

abstraction, negative space, color, light, form and surface. My work

incorporates a variety of materials: glass, rocks, shells, gemstones,

and other found objects. The results are often unexpected and always

interesting.

Carla

Caletti

In my paintings, I explore the

female form and the evolution of

women expressing themselves

in the world. Inspired by

folk art, my ﬁgurative style

is representational with an

emphasis on bold color. My work

is taking on more narrative in

terms of juxtaposing the women

ﬁgures with other elements

that begin to tell a story. I like

playing with scale and letting

what is real on the canvas be an

experiment.

Rebecca Bazell

I was born in Brighton, England, where I lived for

6 months before moving to the US, eventually

living in seven cities before the age of ten. These

moves, though not necessarily in my conscious

memory, are made vivid by my parent’s

descriptions, photos, and historical descriptions

of the early 1970s. The paintings I’m working on

attempt to connect my memories of those times

with what I’ve been able to ﬁnd out since.

I started these paintings in July, when I returned

to San Francisco after living in NYC for the

past 12 years. I was surprised to discover that

while I was painting these memories, I was also

responding to being back in California, and it

made me question my own memories of place.

Are memories just responses to the present?

Rebecca Bazell holds a BA in Art from Hamilton

College, studied art history in Florence, Italy

and holds a degree in Painting from the New

York Studio School. She teaches painting and

drawing, and recently moved her studio from New

York City to San Francisco’s Potrero Hill.

She has shown in New York, Maine and Los

Angeles, and has received numerous awards

including: The Gamblin Paint Prize, Absolut

Grant, NYSS Merit Award and a Milton Avery

Fellowship.

Impossible Productions presents

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

THE PLAY

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — It’s a comedy about making friends! This Halloween, crack the secrets of life everlasting with

the greatest mad scientist story ever created! YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: the Play is Impossible Production’s larger than

life tribute to Gene Wilder and Mel Brook’s zany and shocking masterpiece that will leave you in stitches. It’s all-live!

Promising young neurosurgeon Fredrick Frankenstein (grandson to the notorious Doctor) inherits the ominous family

castle. Scofﬁng its infamous past, he visits the estate and Fate delivers him into the hands of Inga his beautiful new

assistant, Igor the outlandish hunchback, and Frau Blücher the enigmatic heinermacherfrau—all keys to his mysterious

legacy.

With the discovery of the castle’s secret lab and library, temptation proves too much and Freddy becomes obsessed with

continuing his Grandfather’s work—to reanimate a human cadaver—and turn a grave mistake into the acme of scientiﬁc

achievement!

But a corpse is a corpse, of course, of course, and the local burgomaster, history fresh in his mind, rallies the villagers into

a riotous mob hell-bent on hunting down Frankenstein’s Monster. And to complicate the grey matter the Creature kidnaps

Elizabeth, Freddy’s estranged ﬁancé. It comes down to his daring genius to save his creation at the risk of his own life—

will the Monster escape? Or will he meet his maker?

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: the Play runs Fridays and Saturdays @ 8pm and Sundays @ 3pm, October 6-29, 2006.

The Dark Room is at 2263 Mission Street, SF, between 18th and 19th. You can pick our brains at 415.401.7987, www.

The Outsider Chronicles

Sean Dorsey / Fresh Meat Productions

The Outsider Chronicles

a dance theater journey into the world of the gender

outsider

Fresh Meat Productions presents a special return

engagement of Sean Dorsey’s acclaimed evening-length

dance theater cycle The Outsider Chronicles. These full-

bodied, compelling dances dive headﬁrst into the world

of the ‘gender outsider’ - revealing aspects of coming out

and living as transgender.

With his signature fusion of modern dance, theater and

storytelling, Dorsey puts a genderbent twist on foiled

ﬁrst love, lovers’ spats, coming out (or not) to family,

road trips, “til death do us part” and the joys of therapy.

Performed by Sean Dorsey (winner of a 2006 Isadora

Duncan Dance Award), Courtney Moreno and Sonia

Reiter.

TICKETS: $15

Reservations are encouraged: these special return

engagement shows will sell out quickly.

Orbit

(notes from the

edge of forever)

July 13-August 5 2006

Review by: Lani Asher

Orbit (notes from the edge of forever)

is the latest production from the Erika

Shuch Project (ESP), currently artists-

in-residence at Intersection for the

Arts. She combines dance, theater,

and performance and takes you from

the personal to the planetary. The

director wonders about our place

in the universe and asks if there is

anybody else out there.

The stage is set with moveable stacks

of televisions, books, and lamps on

poles that can slide back and forth

across the stage. As the performance

begins the television sets are tuned

to scenes from old sci-ﬁ ﬁlms such as

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind,

Alien, and Contact. The performers—

three protagonists, a Puck-like

trickster, and a pair of lovers—move

engagingly about on the stage, which

is painted with planetary orbit lines. In

addition, there is a chorus of dancers

who wear gloves on their hands and

dance barefoot; their costumes are

reminiscent of uniforms. In some ways

they function like the invisible actors in Japanese Noh or Bunraku performances that move props or puppets.

The music for Orbit is a mélange of original music, popular songs, live Cabaret music, and the classic song “Blue Moon”, written by

Richard Rogers and Lorenzo Hart in 1934. The lyrics presumably refer to an English idiomatic expression: if something happens

“once in a blue moon” it almost never happens. The lyrics of the song relate a stroke of luck so unlikely that it must have taken place

under a blue moon. The image of a “blue moon” –as it is used in Orbit-- conjures romance, mystery, and the unknown.

The lovers in Orbit seem attracted and repulsed by planetary forces, their own emotions,

and dreams. In one sequence one of the lovers dreams that he is a small puppet lost in a shipwreck, tossed by waves Finally, the

dreamer is rescued by his lover who is costumed as a giant lighthouse. He survives. At the end of the sequence, the lovers converse

about the seduction and abduction of memories that adversely affects our relationships. Old memories become a visible hole in the

story of the two lovers, demonstrated by the ﬁlmed drilling of a hole in a book by mysterious gloved hands. In another scene, one of

the lovers reaches disembodied hands behind the other. We see into a chest cavity on a video monitor and observe the molecular

makeup of the heart.

In the program notes Erika Shuch gives us three clues about ”the search”. The ﬁrst clue is that when she was a girl her father looked

for alien life forms and sent signals out to various parts of the universe. In particular, he sent signals to exo-planets (any planet orbiting

a star that is outside our solar system). In her dad’s words, an old military man, trying to see a planet orbiting a star is a little like trying

to see a ﬁreﬂy perched on the rim of a search light. The second clue is that once we send a signal into space we cannot take it back.

It keeps going until it ﬁnds something to bounce off or be absorbed by. The third clue is that fact that she sent herself a self addressed

postcard attached to a balloon with a request to please return it to her. The postcard never arrived.

The performance is dreamlike, poetic, visual, and auditory, constantly orbiting around itself much like the central image of constantly

orbiting planets. Erika Shuch and the ESP project send out their message and hope the audience will receive it to bounce it back

to them. The nature of art is similar to this search for other life forms, and the search for love and meaning. It’s nice if sometimes it

bounces back.
