As a self-organized project, The Latinx Artist Retreat would give latinx artist communities the opportunity to self-determine the means by which they are represented and supported organizationally.

We welcome all latinx peoples and those working in latinx communities to attend.

APRIL OPEN ENGAGEMENT RESIDENT: Black Salt Collective

April 08, 2016

RTS is pleased to welcome April Open Engagement nominated resident Black Salt Collective! Save the date for their Open Engagement talk on April 30th at 1pm!

Black Salt Collective is the work of Sarah Biscarra Dilley, Grace Rosario Perkins, Anna Luisa Petrisko, and Adee Roberson.

Founded in 2012, Black Salt embodies cultural and contemporary narratives. The work is cultural, but not “cultural” in the anthropological sense of the word, as cultural art is often seen through a Western lens. Black Salt is about contemporary non-linear identity in which experience results in atmosphere.

As a group, Black Salt Collective has shown at Artists’ Television Access, CalArts, The San Francisco Public Library as part of the RADAR series, MIX Festival, Outsider Festival, and Glitch Festival Australia. Black Salt Collective was also a recipient of an Alternative Exposure grant from San Francisco’s Southern Exposure in 2013 and nominated for a curatorial residency at SOMArts in 2014. The Collective‘s proposal was selected and opened in January 2016 in SOMArt’s Main Gallery. The exhibition “Visions into Infinite Archives” featured 30 intergenerational artists and filmmakers of color creating a boundless and liminal archive.

Currently, the collective is working on a book to be released in 2017 through Wolfman Books, Oakland.

RTS Talks: Constance Hockaday + Miguel Arzabe

February 13, 2016

Real Time and Space is excited to host artist talks by Constance Hockaday, our Jan/Feb artist in residence, and new RTS studio member, Miguel Arzabe.  Join us on Sunday, February 28th at 7pm!

Constance Hockaday is a Chilean American artist who grew up on the water in Port Isabel, Texas, 5 miles from where the Rio Grande River dumps into the Gulf of Mexico. She has created outsider maritime projects for more than 15 years, from a boat hotel the New York Times called “a New York City success story” to a floating peep show bobbing in the San Francisco harbor that highlighted the loss of spaces for the Bay Area’s queer community. Her most recent performance installation, “All These Darlings and Now Us,” commissioned by Southern Exposure in San Francisco, was described by the New York Times as a powerful “commentary on the forces of technification and gentrification roiling San Francisco.” Hockaday holds an MFA in Social Practice Art and a Masters in Conflict Resolution from Portland State University and BA from Prescott College. She is a 2014 TED Fellow and has received support from the San Francisco MOMA, City of Oakland, the East Bay Artist Fund, The Puffin Foundation, Flux Factory, and Southern Exposure.

Miguel Arzabe is a visual artist based in San Francisco working primarily in video, painting, and paper weaving. His work was featured in Hors Pistes at the Centre Pompidou in Paris; the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montréal, Canada; RM Projects in Auckland New Zealand; Red Tree House in Mexico City; Marylhurst University in Portland, Oregon; Berkeley Art Museum; and at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has had numerous residencies and awards including Headlands Center for the Arts, Montalvo Art Center, Vermont Studio Center, and Santa Fe Art Institute. His work is held in private and public collections, nationally and internationally. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, with an MS in Environmental Fluid Dynamics from Arizona State University and an MFA from UC Berkeley. He is represented by CULT/ Aimee Friberg Exhibitions.

RSVP here.

FEB/MARCH Resident: Daniel Bouthot

January 29, 2016

RTS is pleased to welcome our Feb/March 2016 resident, Daniel Bouthot!

Daniel Bouthot is a visual artist whose work draws from themes of American history, economics, production, and technophilia as they are framed within contemporary consumer culture. In recent projects that explore a fascination with digital tools, he has built sculptures that mine Bitcoin, hacked a CNC router to make it script the Declaration of Independence with a feather quill, and utilized a sharing economy platform to dispense beat poetry. His work has been described as crafty and minimalist in aesthetic with a dry wit that aspires towards the absurd. Working across a wide range of media including prints, sculpture, performance, and video, he has been shown nationally and internationally at venues including NYCAMS in New York, The Soap Factory in Minneapolis, SOMARTS in San Francisco and Fieldgate Gallery in London. He has a BFA in printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in social practice from California College of the Arts. He currently lives and works in Oakland.

JAN/FEB Resident: Constance Hockaday

January 09, 2016

RTS is excited to welcome our first resident for 2016, Constance Hockaday!

Constance Hockaday is a Chilean American artist who grew up on the water in Port Isabel, Texas, 5 miles from where the Rio Grande River dumps into the Gulf of Mexico. She has created outsider maritime projects for more than 15 years, from a boat hotel the New York Times called “a New York City success story” to a floating peep show bobbing in the San Francisco harbor that highlighted the loss of spaces for the Bay Area’s queer community.

Hockaday began working with boats at a young age. At 19, she joined up with the Floating Neutrinos, a renowned family of wanderers who sailed around the world in handmade rafts who taught Hockaday to build boats from found materials. In 2006 she began a three-year collaboration with the street artist SWOON for Deitch Projects called Swimming Cities. SWOON, Hockaday and the other participants sailed floating sculptures and handcrafted vessels along the Hudson and Mississippi Rivers as well as the Adriatic Sea. Hockaday coordinated safety and logistics on the boats and captained her own vessel across the Adriatic to crash the Venice Biennale. In 2011 she created the Boatel in NYC’s Far Rockaways, a floating hotel and arts space made of refurbished salvaged vessels that hosted residents and art goers for overnight visits and performances in an effort to reconnect New Yorkers to the waterfronts and urban waterways of their cities. The project brought in audiences of over 5000 people and garnered press and critical acclaim everywhere from the New York Times and The Guardian to NPR and El Pais.

Her most recent performance installation, “All These Darlings and Now Us,” commissioned by Southern Exposure in San Francisco, was described by the New York Times as a powerful “commentary on the forces of technification and gentrification roiling San Francisco.” Peepshow performances by strippers, drag queens, and performance artists from two recently shuttered iconic queer businesses, The Lusty Lady and Esta Noche, took place on a raft of retrofitted sailboats. More than a thousand people watched the shows, many brought to the boats on skiffs.

Hockaday holds an MFA in Social Practice Art and a Masters in Conflict Resolution from Portland State University and BA from Prescott College. She is a 2014 TED Fellow and has received support from the San Francisco MOMA, City of Oakland, the East Bay Artist Fund, The Puffin Foundation, Flux Factory, and Southern Exposure.

TROPIC GREEN RECORD RELEASE
GOLDEN LIGHT 7″
CRIME ON THE MOON RECORDS

DECEMBER 19TH 2015 7 TO 9 PM
Visuals by Grace Rosario Perkins and Anna Luisa Petrisko/ JEEPNEYS

Tropic Green performance at 8 with Sarah Sass Biscarra-Dilley and Titania Kumeh

Tropic Green is music from the planet Saturn as channeled by Adee Roberson. Roberson is a visual artist and musician who has been a fixture in underground art and music for over a decade. With Tropic Green- She is leading the way for us into a Black Futurist fantasy that draws from the minimal aspects of punk, reggae, house music, and spirituals. She weaves rich celestial landscapes with her drum machines, synthesizers and various percussion instruments.

These tracks were recorded cross-country in California & New York City. Crime On The Moon label owner Hannah Lew handled the west coast tracking & participated in the birth of the music which features Roberson on drum machine, synthesizer, bass and vocals. India Cooke, the legendary Bay Area Jazz and Improvisational Violinist peppers the songs throughout. Christina Files took over in NYC for producing & mixing bringing cosmic lasers, floating oscillations of white noise & regenerated feedback that folds gracefully into the milieu and helped further Roberson’s creative vision. Obscured by samples, decibel distortions & outer space visions, the nature of this recording forces the music to be heard.
