26/4-SF12 too tired for more politics
still just a list of what I did first, before I knew if I got more time to write in details.
Started off today by taking bus to market street. Head back to the Gearny galleries which some has closed after 5 yesterday (opening usu. at 12, which meant just 5 business hrs!) One of it is Frey Norris, a small show of about 5 artists. At its storefront is a ceramic head of David(?) covered with LV colourful design, which turned me away yesterday without knowing it is one of those places I singled out to visit.
Next I head for Robert Koch Gallery, and guess whose works I find there, Michel Wolf! that of Hong Kong highrising buildings! Very much similar to those I saw of Map Office in Singapore, but with the building occupied full composition, I don't think they are the best of Wolf, but perhaps overwhelming enough, as the two reviews for his last show and another new one so far demonstrating their effectiveness. Afterwards, I checked out a few more galleries in the same building, the two I went in (one pre-picked, one not) were both good, while the final one that I visit has horrible works, however they do have a bkshop corner, and I brought one bk from there. After that I went corss market street to Yerba Buena Center for the Arts to see the Black Panther Rank and File, plus also Peer Pleasure 2. Then I moved on to try and find the Jewish museum, but looking for it took me triple or even more time than actually seeing the small exhibition there on Israel contemporary photo and video, for I have to head back to CCA to meet Kate Fowle who once was also an ACC grantee, now teaching curating there. We have a small chat, about SF which I am not familiar at all, and HK, which she is pretty interested and updated.
All the shows I saw today, coincidentally, do all seems to have something to do with social-politics, even the Kate's class graduates' project seems very much so. This should originally be the thing I am interested to discuss, unfortunately, I am feeling sleepy again and guess I couldn't write much further than this for today. Got some dance history class to attend next early morning, and I don't want to be late again. or maybe I should try the metro instead of bus for once to try n save time.
