MAPP event this APRIL 3, 2010

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.

Among the venues confirmed, we have:
Red Poppy Art House
Pathos-on-Harrison
Revolution Cafe
L's Caffe
Garofaloop
And much more!!!

Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to share and enjoy the charm of Mission and their wonderful, talented artists.
It is free!!

I will post the whole program in a couple of days... stay tuned.

See you there...

Art vs. Crime: How the Mission's artists are helping neighbors feel safe after episodes of lethal violence (video)

This history was filmed by Cassidy and appeared at SANFRANCISCO I AM

Discussions of the dichotomous nature of the Mission approach tedium, with shootings in front of valet stands, or the whole delicate flower thing creating enough dramatic tension to launch a thousand newspaper columns.The organizers of the Mission Arts Performance Project (MAPP) aren't content to just wring their hands: they're doing what they can to boost the Mission's thriving arts community while acknowledging its more challenging sides with their bi-monthly, multidisciplinary, intercultural event night.Connecting visual artists, musicians, poets, dancers and poets, MAPP weaves together storefronts, warehouses, studios and homes to form an art walk that seems to turn into a huge multi-block party. Homeowners lay down stages in their living rooms, scraggly artists gussy up and serve hors d'oeuvres.The night of Saturday April 4, MAPP held its bi-monthly multidisciplinary, intercultural event night. Connecting visual artists, musicians, poets, dancers and poets,

Thank you, Cassidy!

"Deliberate Motion: Video Instillations by Mike Missiaen"
Mike Missiaen is a local artist who works with video and film. For this
exhibition he has gathered together three of his video instillations.
These works are varied and address different themes. One piece examines
the anxiety induced by dealing with bureaucracy. Another looks at the
inertia in our daily routines. The last appraises the beauty and grace
of falling objects. The elements that link these disparate pieces are
the use of carefully staged shots and slow motion to illuminate
overlooked moments.
