The MAPP puts art and performance on the street level by using alternative spaces such as private garages, basements, and studios.

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.

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.

- Kara Andrade
    "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."

This performance can be complemented with music."

Of course, they are more spaces to be reactivated, as Cafe O Brava and so...

Talking about curators, shows and artists,

-Tania Figueroa, Rayma as well 6 girls more (including Maria Loreto), want to do a cabaret with live music and dance. They need space.

-Tony Bravo will curate the Maison Bleau

- Valentina Vitols (Seattle artist that participated the last MAPP) proposed "8x8": eight artists with 2 pieces each with dimensions not larger that 8x8 inches, 8 minutes and another time/space dimension related with 8.

- I can do a big action painting with the help of another artist.

- There is another Indian artist called Sandy Iyer that want to participate with some sculptures and drawings.

- Ingrid Severson want to do a burlesque with political hint ;D

- La Bohemia (Carlos Disdier) want to curate a musical performance

- Fred Adler, a wonderful piano musician, want to play in a musical performance, too.

This incredible menu of talent will be enriched during the next meeting, of course....

Also, there is a proposal that I want to do about digital alphabetization for the Mission community. That will help a lot. But I will talk about that in the next post.

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.

This information originally comes from the Red Poppy Art House (the founders of the project)
