Bay Area Now 5, a triennial exhibition of Bay Area art (and possibly the most important art show in San Francisco this year), is up now at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. One of the featured artists is Ala Ebtekar, whose work we showcased in issue 11. Ebtekar paints on top of found prayer manuscripts in the style of Iranian miniatures, to explore the crossings of spirituality and war.

Bay Area Now & Goh Nakamura in NY
Just some quick updates on a few people who have been in Hyphen.Bay Area Now 5, a triennial exhibition of Bay Area art (and possibly the most important art show in San Francisco this year), is up now at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. One of the featured artists is Ala Ebtekar, whose work we showcased in issue 11. Ebtekar paints on top of found prayer manuscripts in the style of Iranian miniatures, to explore the crossings of spirituality and war.
Jennifer Wofford, who was interviewed for the current issue (#14), also guest-curated for this show, picking some choice bits from the Galleon Trade art exchange for Bay Area Now 5. One of the artists in that show is Michael Arcega, who talked to us in issue 9.
Another Asian American artist in Bay Area Now 5 is Misako Inaoka, who makes these oddly seductive animal and plant hybrid sculptures.
I haven't been to see the show yet, but I'm excited about it and will definitely make my way over there.
Now, on to New York. Songwriter Goh Nakamura, who played at the Hyphen issue 13 release party, is visiting New York this week and will be playing 2 shows.
One is tonight! July 22nd, 11pm, at Pete's Candy Store.
He also plays tomorrow night, July 23rd, 8 pm at Pianos NYC.
