this three-part show focuses on a romantic connection to california, its land and bohemian culture, as well as a particular group of artists who, through their love of the area and social practice, comprise a unique moment in local art.
the first part of the series, the photo show, is chock full of local photographers whose work i've admired for a long time: andrew paynter, kanoa zimmerman, terri loewenthal, lauren douglas, jesse schlesinger, cody welsh, airyka rockefeller, jordan bennett, alissa anderson and david uzzardi.
here's an excerpt from Beauty in Photography by Robert Adams, selected for the photo show by Jesse Schlesinger:
the other two parts in the series are the drawing show (drawings, paintings and poetry, opening july 30) and the craft show (functional arts and crafts, opening october 15).

PASSAGER /
this image was commissioned by SFMOMA to document the first of david wilson's 2012 SECA project arrivals, a series of six self-guided journeys to outdoor sites throughout san francisco.
the 16-foot drawing nestled in the presidio depicts frog woman rock, the spectacle that marks the beginning of the end of the journey to our handmade house.
here it is in the film flesh.
and here are a few favorite vignettes of the opening ceremony that took place on september 14, 2013 (plenty more here).
tucked in the eucalyptus grove
the drawing will remain in the presidio until november 22, 2013. it's an amazing thing to stumble upon, and an even more amazing destination.
i am thrilled to share what happened when sam, felix and i embarked on the journey.
and ... i saved the best for last. ready for sam fleischner's incredible short film?
