SJMA invited ten creative people to intervene in this exhibition of its permanent collection with their artistic responses to the art on view. Bicycle designer Craig Calfee responded to a sculpture by Chris Fraser. John Edmark, an inventor, designer, and artist who teaches at Stanford University, Palo Alto, selected the mobile Big Red (1959) by Alexander Calder. Dhaya Lakshminarayanan, venture capitalist-turned-standup comedian, created a one-act play in response to the new media work Info Glut II by Alan Rath. Body paint artist Trina Merry's performance and resulting video is a response to Andy Goldsworthy's Burnt Patch (1995).
David Perez, poet laureate of Santa Clara County, took the work of Jim Campbell as his inspiration; cartoonist Lark Pien created a three-part intervention for a painting by Il Lee; calligrapher Carl Rohrs responded to a work by Susan Manchester; Damian Smith, principal dancer with the San Francisco Ballet, created a video and installation inspired by Fred Spratt’s painting, Grenholm; yarn bomber Streetcolor was inspired by Most Secret Butterfly by Tam Van Tran; sound artist Marc Weidenbaum, with help from his online collective Disquiet Junto, created soundtracks for a silent video piece by Josh Azzarella.
