The Mission district of San Francisco has something about it, an aura that continues to seduce people to the day. Most of its appeal emerges from people’s collective memory of what happened during the 60’s and 70’s and from the way in which the Latino and Chicano communities turned this neighborhood of the West Coast into one of the most important artistic, musical and creative hubs during those decades. This mysticism is even more relevant now that the neighborhood’s artistic spaces are fetishised and threatened by increasing gentrification. Dogpaw Carrillo, an artist born on Treat Street in the 50’s, in the heart of the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco, is the mind behind this show. Having lived in the Mission all his life, his artwork and collections speak to the history of this neighborhood and they ways in which is has changed through time. Also on view are photographs by Doug Johnson, a San Francisco based artist since the 60’s.

The Dead Alleys is a punk rock band formed by Ana María Montenegro Jaramillo and Kaitlin Trataris. Through their performance of songs they both appreciate don’t understand. The Dead Alleys explore the way music is transformed, transferred and transversed when dislocated from its original context and/or language. Worldwide, people listen to and sing music containing lyrics written in English, not necessarily understanding the literal meaning of the words nor the context of their origin. Yet, in many cases, the spirit of a song is powerful enough to trespass the cultural barrier imposed by alphabets and carry it’s energy, acquiring multiple, particular and unsuspected meanings. The Dead Alleys is a cultural experiment performed in a dadaist fashion in which they turn the table on understanding.



THE DEAD ALLEYS MEMBERS BIOS >>>

Ana Montenegro is an artist, writer, and media developer/designer. Her work has been exhibited in Colombia, Argentina, and Canada. She divides her time between art-making, writing for several cultural blogs in Colombia, directing media projects for nonprofit organizations and, until very recently, lecturing at the Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia.

Kaitlin Trataris relocates the personal space from inside the home into public view. Her silk screened and sewn fabric soft sculptures of kitchen objects and foods transform domestic environments into explorable sites that reveal the effects of mass media consumer culture on the home and its inhabitants. She uses color, texture and form to recreate the foods and materials that mark a specific time, location and status of the individual who consumes them. Kaitlin uses domestic and craft mediums through sculptural, installation, and performative work.
