People without locations... yet

Dear mapperos,

This is some of the people that does not have venues yet:

- Valentina Vitols
    "My proposal is to feature 8 Seattle-based artists (1 or 2 pieces per artist) with pieces that won't be larger than 8 inches on one or both of the sides of the piece. The show would be called Seattle in San Francisco 8x8. The idea is have as different media as possible, including painting, sculpture, music (8 seconds or 8 minutes), photography and video.
    I already have two artists from Seattle that would be ideal for this show (Chris Crites and Diana Falchuk). Once the project gets the green light by the MAPPEROS, I would immediately post the call for entries in several publications related to the art scene here in Seattle at no cost.
    Note than some (if not most) of the pieces will need to be hanged, so hammer and nails are going to be necessary. This means that the venue has to be all right with this."
    She already have some artists:
   1. Chris Crites (http://www.bagpainter.com/)
   2. Diana Falchuk (http://www.dianafalchuk.com/sculptures.shtml)
   3. John Sarkis (http://www.museo.cc/2009/Feb/jsarkis.html)
   4. Zimmermann Studio (http://www.flickr.com/photos/zimmermannstudio/sets/72157594251212778/)
   5. Shaun Kardinal (http://www.flickr.com/photos/shauniqua/sets/72157604525132850/)
    She will need wall for to hang the art.

    "I would like to do an installation of this project I coordinated at UC Berkeley:
http://newsinitiative.org/ucb/we-faith/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/karaandrade/sets/72157613816719850/
   The project, developed at the News 21 site at the University of California Graduate School of Journalism, Berkeley is part of the fellowship's 2007 program focusing on "God, Sex and Family." That's where choices about marriage, dating, the building of community, family and faith play out in private life. To see the stories as they unfold over the next three weeks, go to www.newsinitiative.org/ucb or go to Second Life to see them streamed into different tents created to look and feel like a church revival.
    The final event was a panel discussion on Sunday, July 29 from 12-1:30 PM PST held inworld and broadcast live through SLCN, the Second Life Cable Network. Religion writer and News21 Senior Editor Don Lattin moderated. Panelists include SL worshipers, spiritual leaders, and theologians. For more information contact Kara Andrade: kara.andrade [at] yahoo [dot] com, 510-384-0788 or inworld under KaraAndrade Writer."

ORIGIN OF THE MAPP

In October 2003, a meeting of artist and performers was called together at the Red Poppy Art House (then called Porfilio Is) to discuss the possibility of a monthly alternative multi-venue neighborhood arts & performance event. That meeting was the spark that caught to flame, the beginning of the “Mission Arts Party”, a name coined in this first meeting, inspired by Adrian Arias’s idea to paint a mural “map of emotions” on the Art House wall. Two months later the first MAP took place with four exhibit spaces; one garage curated by Luis Vasquez Gomez and Koch, and three other spaces; the Art House, Musa Alda’s Little Spot Café (the basement), and Musa’s garage, curated by visual artists Veronica Blanco and Todd Brown, and with the help of Martin Arslanian. With no budget and just basic flyering for promotion, the event was a great success. The MAP quickly doubled its size when, the following month, the Mission Cultural Center opened its doors to co-host a MAP exhibition in their main gallery. Also added to the MAP was the local AutoTech Garage, curated by Danny Stuepenagel. (complete with a salsa band with cars on lifts towering above).

From that time the MAP continued to grow and change. Not long after, the name “Mission Arts Party” was changed to “Mission Arts & Performance Project" with the intentionof bringing the greater focus to process of bringing the arts into the community. Performance took an essential role in generating the energy of the MAPP and constituted a significant difference from what would normally be considered just another “art walk”. Throughout 2004 the MAPP expanded with Raquel De Anda and Clara Cheeves joining in as curators. By mid 2005 the organizing body of the MAPP had grown from 3-4 people to 15 (aprox.). By the end of 2005, the MAPP had succeeded in incorporating three local businesses and a number of resident garden spaces. At the end of 2005 the first radio documentary (by nathanael Johnson) was aired on KALW radio.
