I’m still “feeding” off the highlights from Rick Lowe’s residency — experiencing trickle-down nuggets from his lectures, the reception, the symposia, and the amazing community conversation at the end of the Tour of the Richmond Greenway. We were elated to be able to host the tour of Elm Street Playlot, Scientific Art Studio, and biking with Rick along the Greenway to view the public art and gardens there, and talk about plans for more community engagement and new additions under a Prop 84 Parks grant. What an amazing residency!!

When I learned of the tour to International Boulevard, I was working on a paper about Eastmont, a declining neighborhood in East Oakland, and was impressed by the scarred history of the boulevard. It was an amazing experience to join the tour with Rick and see the artists’ efforts to turn the long-neglected community into a dynamic neighborhood.
I was very impressed by the dense program and variety of events during the residency. Also it made me aware of the Arts Research Center and the Global Urban Humanities Initiative at UC Berkeley. I enjoyed the talks and trips I was able to take part in. As a foreign visiting researcher it was very interesting to hear about both Ricks’ work, and related projects and issues in the Bay Area.

In a double bill traversing earthy African blues and hypnotic ancient grooves, the Afropop Spectacular features performances by virtuoso ngoni player Bassekou Kouyate and the Ethiopian trio Krar Collective. Kouyate descends from a long line of Malian griots and combines generations of tradition with innovative rock-inflected techniques on the banjo-like ngoni.

At ARC, we have begun a series of “salons” in which we celebrate work of UCB’s artists and scholars on the Bay Area cultural scene. Our first gathering coalesced this summer around the work of choreographer Joe Goode whose extraordinary piece, “Traveling Light,” animated the historic Mint Building of San Francisco. Colleagues and Bay Area arts supporters gathered afterward to share some wine and speak with Joe about his process. The decision to make a precariously balanced piece of choreography in the Mint obviously had incredible resonance during a precarious economic time.

The Arts Research Center kicked off the fall season of programs and events with a “birthday party” celebration in honor of its 15th anniversary on campus, held at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive on August 25, 2014. Below is the short synopsis, and a welcome to the fall arts season, written by ARC Director Shannon Jackson:

In 1960 Hans Hofmann (1880–1966) described the just-completed painting Summer Bliss as one of his finest. At the suggestion of Erle Loran, then chair of the UC Berkeley Art Department, Hofmann offered Summer Bliss to the University in honor of professor Worth Ryder, who had passed away earlier that year. Ryder, who like Loran had studied with Hofmann years earlier in Germany, had invited Hofmann to teach at Berkeley in 1930, initiating what Hofmann later identified as his “start in America as a teacher and artist.”1

ARC is excited to announce that Reid Hoffman and Michelle Yee have made a generous gift to support the research and programming of the Arts Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. “I am absolutely stunned and thrilled to have this vote of confidence in our work,” says ARC Director Shannon Jackson, who notes that this generous gift will propel ARC’s ongoing exploration of the arts in a wider social ecology.
The Arts Research Center would like to congratulate its director, Shannon Jackson (Professor of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies) and ARC Affiliate Faculty member Stephanie Syjuco (Assistant Professor of Art Practice) who were awarded prestigious Guggenheim Fellowships this year. The Guggenheim Fellowship is given to those who have “demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.”Jackson’s research and public service focus primarily on facilitating cross-arts dialogue and experimentati

Let’s Ask Ourselves…
[A Dance-based Addendum to the “Grey Matter” Quiz]
April 19, 2014
The work I’m doing now (by facilitating the start of associations http://bfamfaphd.com and http://nyctbd.com/resources) is focused on creating longterm community livelihoods where shared decision-making and shared profit are possible.
I came to this event hoping to be part of a Marxist revolution and though that definitely was not what happened, I was not disappointed. I found out about this practicum on W.A.G.E.’s website, so naturally I signed up for the workshop on Defining Value, Labor, and the Arts, hosted by W.A.G.E.’s Lise Soskolne. W.A.G.E. had a summit earlier this year to work out their certification program, which is a program to certify that non-profit arts exhibition spaces are fairly compensating their artists.
