Bay Area Now 5, Inside/Outside
http://www.ybca.org/tickets/production/view.aspx?id=7118
This year's visual arts program is the most ambitious iteration of Bay Area Now yet. As in past years, YBCA presents a multi-media gallery-based group exhibition featuring the works of the most promising Bay Area artists active today. Bay Area Now 5 (BAN 5) explores the many ways artists are influenced by their experiences both inside and outside of the Bay Area, and through an additional four guest-curated projects, also goes beyond YBCA's walls to feature artists as musicians, illustrate San Francisco's rich artistic history and connect Bay Area artists with artists from around the globe.

http://www.ybca.org/tickets/production/view.aspx?id=7240

Theory of Survival, guest curated by Iranian-American artist Taraneh Hemami, is a continuation of the CrossConnections project that engages the Iranian and Iranian-American diaspora community in an intergenerational, creative dialogue about issues of cultural identity, preservation, and representation. For its incarnation at YBCA, Theory of Survival brings together a multi-generational and international group of artists of the Iranian Diaspora who have responded to a historical archive belonging to the Iranian Students Association of Northern California, which was active from 1964-1984. The collection, which has been acquired by the Library of Congress, includes theoretical discourse, original essays, political analysis, translations, as well as posters, newspapers, and documents reflecting both Iranian as well as Bay Area history throughout these critical years. The artists that guest curator Taraneh Hemami has chosen to work with collectively investigate the archives of the past while exploring notions of devotion, freedom, survival and loss.
Artists: Reza Aramesh(London), Gita Hashemi(Toronto) and Leila Pazooki(Berlin).

We Remember the Sun
Curated by Mary Ellen Johnson
June 19-September 13, 2008
Walter and McBean Galleries, SFAI
San Francisco Art Institute, 800 Chestnut St, SF

We Remember the Sun offers a view of contemporary art practice in California that, though
acknowledging its deep roots in the utopian (and dystopian) ideals of the 60s, contends that it is only through the acceptance of mediated rather than absolutist ideas and practices that the political progressivism of the 60s can remanifest itself under today's extraordinarily different political conditions--conditions that contrast globalization with antiglobalization; multiculturalism with zenophobia; terrorism, initiatory or retaliatory, with negotiation and peace; and environmentalism with corporatism run amok. Put more specifically in terms of We Remember the Sun, an exhibition of the work of Bay Area artists, it is only through the process and labor of yielding to the demands of (artistic) mediums, mixed or singular--it is only through production--that revolutionary ideas and practices can effectually take shape.

Participating artists are Amy Balkin, L. M. Bogad, Andrea Bowers, Deer Fang, David Gurman, Taraneh Hemami, David Maisel, Jill Miller, Shaun O'Dell, Julia Page, Praba Pilar, John Roloff, Pamela Wilson-Ryckman, Jon Winet, and Michael Zheng.

Description
Behman Alamshahi & Eda Keske Studio Live Sahnesinde!...
Dünya Müzikleri adı altında başlatılan seri konserlerin ilki İranlı sanatçı Behman Alamshahi ile başlayacak.

Her programda farklı bir ülkeden katılan sanatçılar, bir Türk sanatçı ile birlikte sahne alacak. Program akışında düet parçalar da seslendirecek.

İlk programda sahne alan Türk sanatçı Eda Keske üstün yorumlarıyla 19 dilde caz'dan pop'a, country'den latin'e, nostaljik Türkçe müzikten güncel pop'a ve Türk Sanat Müziği'ne kadar uzanan geniş bir yelpazede yorumlamaktadır. Eda Keske daha önce yurtiçi ve yurtdışı birçok konser ve festivalde yer aldı.

İranlı sanatçı Behman Alamshahi Tahran'da sanat hayatına devam etmektedir. Alamshahi bu güne kadar 4 albüm çıkardı. Sanatçı Farsça seslendirdiği eserlerde batı enstrümanlarını ağırlıkta kullanıyor. İran müziği ile batı müziği arasındaki eserleri ile İran'da önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. İranlı sanatçı Türkiye'de bulunduğu süre içerisinde İstanbul görüntüleri eşliğinde bir video klip çekimi de gerçekleştirecektir. Sanatçının klibi Türk müzik kanallarında yayınlatılacak. Ayrıca sanatçılar birçok yazılı ve görsel medya da konuk, röportaj, haber, ilan olarak yer alacaklar.

Sanatçı gerçekleştireceği İstanbul konserinden ilk defa Türkçe eserler seslendirecek. Behman Alamshahi ve Eda Keske 19 temmuz akşamı muhteşem bir müzik ziyafeti yanında iki ülkenin dostluk ve kültürel bağlarını pekiştirecek.
