We all know that San Francisco is going through aches and (growing?) / shrinking artist pains these days as San Francisco property values sky rocket due to the tech infestation going on around the entire Bay Area. Maybe you work in tech and love it, but since this is an art website, we're interested to how this is affecting artists trying to make ends meet.
Some galleries have been forced to close due to 300% rent hikes. Many artists have fled to Oakland, LA and NYC in search of affordable housing and a more vibrant art scene... But we wanna know what you think of how it's going here in San Francisco. How are you making it work?

Interview w/ Yokonori Stone. Yokonori Stone may have started out as a "dumb kid," who performed poorly on exams and was constantly chided for never paying attention, but today she's attracting the attention of curators in Asia and Europe as a young feminist artist who has a cunning ability to distill images of raw debasement.
This summer, she'll have her American debut at Ever Gold Gallery with a suite of works that simultaneously embrace and ridicule her new hometown, San Francisco. This spring I visited "Nori," as her friends call her, in her small apartment in the Western Addition neighborhood to talk about how she's been settling in and what's behind this new body of work. We sat on the floor of her living room and ate red bean mochi while we spoke. -Chad Calhoun Counterfit Barry McGee A plan for sucess in San Francisco Mission Hipster Ms. So how long have you been living in the Bay Area? I have been here for just over a year. Do you think the San Francisco scene has affected your work at all? Absolutely. Oh Yes! FECAL NEWS, YO!: April 2009 Archives. Some Things Moyra Taught Me. Some Things Moyra Taught Me Art History The intertwining of melancholy and possibility in contemporary photography Moyra Davey, 32 Photographs from Paris (detail, 2009) Thinking about this column has stirred a vague set of memories.
It is the winter of 2003, the last winter of my life as a New Yorker, the final months before I moved to Los Angeles. The next month, I was back at American Fine Arts. ‘But,’ objects Josiah McElheny, to whom I am explaining some of my ideas, ‘Moyra’s work is not melancholic.’ And yet, in fixating on this image-loss, the ‘Copperhead’ series depicts the penny as a receptor surface, a skin infinitely susceptible to wounds, gouges and scratches – in other words, a site of contact; an object, like the photograph, endlessly open to receiving the marks of the world.
This points to both how and why melancholia has become a tactic, today, in the process of being transvalued by many contemporary artists. George Baker. Analyze This. Analyze This Criticism Debate Philosophy Theory A round table discussion led by Jörg Heiser on ‘super-hybridity’: what is it and should we be worried? With Ronald Jones, Nina Power, Seth Price, Sukhdev Sandhu and Hito Steyerl In recent years, a number of artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers have dramatically increased the number of cultural contexts they tap into when producing work as well as the pace at which they do so – the younger, the faster, it seems. Jörg Heiser: Hito, in both your writing and your films, you address the connection between the circulation and storing of images and ideas, and the sensual, embodied experience of these very images and ideas. Hito Steyerl: Immersion, entanglement, affectivity, sudden rupture and repeated breakdown.
JH: From hermeneutics to a kind of ruptured immersion – that sounds both liberating and subjugating. HS: Why cultural origin? Ronald Jones: A license to ignore cultural origins? The Long Nineties. The Long Nineties Art Looking Back Politics Revisiting art’s social turn and the 1990s – the decade that has yet to end Art Club 2000 Untitled (Conran’s I), 1992–3, c-type print Mocked and ridiculed, the 1980s met a pitiful end at the hands of a generation of artists who considered a market-friendly, object-based art their ideological nemesis, and punished it summarily for its false richness.
This is an exaggeration, of course, but ask around in my (Northern European) corner of the world, and I would guess that many of those who were working back then will confirm this picture of a generational showdown. However, during the last five years, as the historicization of the ’90s gains momentum, the jury has gradually reconvened. Unlike the slippery ’90s, which haven’t yet found their closure, there is some certainty to be found in the ’80s. Around the same time, art’s social turn occurred. Simon Grennan and Christopher Sperandio We got it! Lars Bang Larsen. Artist’s Block.
Artist’s Block Art Writing Pretty, Pretty Good What can artists learn from writers? Ryan Gander Everything is learned, iii, 2010. As a writer, I always feel sorry for artists at this time of year. When I’m melancholically stuck, I return to Marguerite Duras’s Écrire (Writing, 1993): ‘Write. Of course, artists do address their blocks. It’s reckless, but I’m going to ‘translate’ for artists the best advice I’ve read on writer’s block.
