Threads
June 7, 2009
Queer Cultural Center, 934 Brannan Street San Francisco, CA 94104
Join Qcc and an amazing international group of talented visual/media artists for the opening of our art exhibition, Threads.
Threads is not just about fabric and costume but also how queerness weaves the threads of our physical, social and moral existence together into a multi-dimensional fabric of community and our selves. What are the threads that bind, mend and sometimes unravel this spectacular fabric? How do we fashion, perform, subvert or display queerness in our art and lives?
So fashion yourself high or low and don your hottest threads for the opening! There will be a photo booth and photographers roaming about capturing the fabulousness of it all with music and performance in the galleries—not to mention, food and drink. All for free and fun.

Gallery Hours: Noon to 4 pm

Coors works in a variety of media. With regard to theme, most of his recent artwork is about uncertainty and fear, and attempts to address the problems that arise out of the human need to describe the indescribable. More specifically, his work is often made in an attempt to define or create an unnamable position that is suspended between belief and disbelief. For these reasons, he is interested in "fear of the unknown," and "the mysterious" in general, and often employs references to the world of horror and the supernatural.

Art Exhibit Pays Homage to
100-Year Old Town And Its Residents
Friday June 5th 2009 from 6pm to 9pm
Exhibition runs from June 5 – June 26, 2009
THE FRONT: A Collaborative of Art, Culture, Design and Urbanism
located at 147 W. San Ysidro Blvd. San Ysidro, CA 92173
San Ysidro, May 28, 2009- Homenaje a San Ysidro: A Portrait in Three Parts will open at Casa Familiar’s THE FRONT: A Collaborative of Art, Culture, Design and Urbanism, this coming Friday June 5th 2009 from 6pm to 9pm.
The exhibition will juxtapose photographs of spaces ranging from a nun’s garden to the expanding border wall, people ranging from a public health leader and "charro" (rodeo cowboy) to a border rights activist, and allegorical paintings by Father Gonzalo, a priest at a local church.
For the last year, artist and writer Susannah Bielak has immersed herself in stories of San Ysidro—the U.S. community bordering Tijuana. San Ysidro is host to the world’s largest port of entry, and a small town currently celebrating its Centennial. It is a place where rural landscape and militarization; small town Americana and Mexican identity; religion and commerce; kitsch and tradition, and family and politics rub up against one another. Homenaje a San Ysidro speaks to these contrasts.
The exhibition will run from June 5 – June 26, 2009. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30am - 5pm or by appointment. This exhibit is part of a year-long celebration to honor the town of San Ysidro on its 100th birthday. For more information on the San Ysidro Centennial, please visit www.sanysidro100.com.

Every act is an act of creation and destruction. Situated within a series of events that wire our perceptions of reality, moments of collision create slippage in expectation, causing breaks in the circuit. Through observation of experience, we can comprehend, accept, and alter our truths, freeing the self from the self. There is no separation between art and life. One must go beyond the refinement of the object, surface, form and color, in order to reveal the intangible. By eliminating the materialism in art, I criticize the essential element of the idea, experience, and information within a work. I set up parameters to experiment within, allowing for new possibilities and progress in thought, documenting life mediated through technology. Maintaining primal instinct, authenticity, spontaneity, absurdity, and exploration are key to the process. This becomes an obsessive act of anxiety and endurance, pushing myself beyond beyond.
