Thank you very much it was great i do want to mention given the chances we spent a bunch of yesterday and this morning maggie and looked at it the 19 applications open that was tedious but went through the 6 supplemental questionnaires weve asked and scored them theyre in the hands of the d h. R. And hopefully the next three to four weeks well be scheld whoever after the review the test 1823 clarification test and once they test through it will pass and come for interviews is it so very long i know tedious but for a permanent position it is important we get it right but were moving. Great 19 . 19 that were qualified they were a lot more that didnt make the minimum qualification so with that. Thats exciting. Yeah. Good evening, commissioners a few notes start are the royal weve gotten continent complaint from one complainant an issue forward by the Police Department weve been ive been trying to test with the clients they said their busy on the weekend they rather do that during the week an objective time conflict so whatever so actually spent the night followed up and do it during the week to accommodate the folks a bar rosa lounge an issue about the noise into the unit of a person that lives close they messaged me the we understand after we met the noise issue hesitate had subsidize so i followed up periodically with them pretty much, of course, with the types of items and see what happens another issue we talked about last meanwhile meeting was the prop demanded went by on the thursday a polyp party on the thursday night after we met basically, the issues been resolved the Hotel Management and the management of the venue seemed to be on the sampling as far as that goes and again one of the things well followup periodically definitely an issue there before so just periodic contact with the venue and the hotel to make sure that things are going fine and Everything Else is just random inspections and patrols a lot of rain those couple of weekends not much to report but ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. About any items on here. Commissioners any questions no all right. Thanks. Evening john burke here one incident to report others balance mission i brought them up last hearing they kind of keeping an eye on on them with a couple of complaints amount hard to communicate with the complaint and get to the bottom of what was going on ive been keeping an eye on on their operation and security the out they do and how they handle it i noticed this past friday they didnt have barricades up that is usually they do i stopped in for a color look they were closed i noticed they were having a hard time containing the crowd they had enough security but i think their they were not staging security appropriately there were too many inside and to make sure the patrons was not disturbing the neighborhood a few cars double parked and people sort of hanging outside of the venue as opposed to being moved on so we will have a meeting scheduled this friday with staff the office i did issue a notice of violations outlining a couple of violations and the Good Neighbor policy violations. Do they have new promoterers i feel like they were quiet for a long time. They were quiet i think theyve reached out to a bunch of new folks and they have security staff hired other security teams while w trying to get to the bottom of that at the make sure we know what is going on there is a bunch of stipulations on the permit with had it was granted that need to be reminded of especially new promoters novelist mission pd whether theres a a work order coming to well go over with the fine tooth coverage another reoccurring issue the valencia as you recall a sidewalk musician plugging in an am first degree into the businesses with a neighbor close by that is happy been in touch i believe commissioner president tan you received an email as well as the Public Health administrator so he touched all the basis and then two weeks ago i stopped by and was able to talk with the management of the taco the musician himself and some of the neighborhood regulators and tried to encourage them to find another place and since then ive not noticed a gathering out of outside of that business ill notify all the parties involved in the last email to the process and then hope we dont have it resurface if it does well take horror steps and reach out to the media officers and others so there is a back up plan as well. Those are the major issues i got a bunch of other standard inspections on here some other places weve george gotten complaint of over the last few months but other than it is route ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Asking can i ask a question how you write our reports. Uhhuh. When you say you obviously have the complaint and it the unaccountable you couldnt hear anything. For instance, as deferring lumber i was working on with the neighbors across the street what we generally do is use a across the street if hes across al benefit alley we stand across. Your. If interest is an accountable. Most of the ones ill describe their inaudible 9 to 5 not detailing going to someones residence. The complainant is with you hey did you hear anything. Most of the time recently, i think the last few months all the complaint are through i really like it when youre not able to get a test or phone call from someone and be there with someone and go into a residence and try to get a feeling for what theyre experiencing if im on the ground i might not be feeling are experiencing what their experiencing ive had that the past only so much i can sense or hear depending on where i am in comparison to where they are. Unanimously not the ones through email. Right those are through 911 and we cant say you have to name yourself on 311. Other questions commissioner frost. What do you mean by cycle through are they looking to hire e. R. Build or go to other security team. I think what was made mentioned to me theyre having issues with some security teams that were recommended to them they are under the impression theyre getting to the c and b squads in the city that are first hire so and thats one of the things they brought up with me we cant do anything so i think theyre moving pretty slowly this particular aspect of operations so we want to be able to sit down with them and get to the bottom of that. Okay. So the tacoria theyre not restricting access to the musician; right . In my experience this is just about every wednesday were getting emails from one recipient sometimes he plugs in sometimes he didnt sometimes around the corner sometimes not at that point the complainant is also been calling mission pd they were visited tacoria was visited by understanding we have a situation that he has gotten the little wake up call i did being visited by multiple agrees helps there is only so much my badge does. On record he said he was not going to provide assess and objective hes still doing it to i guess youre free to do whatever you do. Yeah. I mean kind of insulting in a sense. A little bit i think that what why it is important to take the next step to contact Public Health department and pd this didnt fall under our jurisdiction but something we try to help with off the top and pass to the appropriate people i attempted to meet with mission pd on site that first weekend unfortunately, that this is a low priority call for them. A hundred feet from the front door within that hundred feet. Yeah. Absolutely hes next to the front door. Okay. Commissioners at questions for inspections . If not . Yeah commissioner revolution cafe theyre stepping up in scliens with the Good Neighbor policy things. Those past two weekends yes. Okay. All right. Lets opening it up for Public Comment any Public Comment on the inspector reports not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Move on to item number 4 Police Department comments or questions there are no police here well move on to item number 5 the consent calendar this is a newer way were describing this activity for commissioners are that but essentially because we have the Residential Development review committee that forwards on their recommendations on the projects really what they need from us just the final vote of approval and so youll see them as an consent calendar but a regular thing on the agenda and they will be discussed and passed on the whole into separating them but looks like our director wants to say more. I looked at your blinders is there anything again, i apologize i was on vacation last week. You mean support materials. Yeah. You were not at that meeting either and the two commissioners that were not here. I dont know how you guys feel about this i can speak to the items or move on to the next meeting if you want to hear from the commissioners pursue that at the rdr meeting i can include the couple of specification recommendations that were made on these im sorry, i didnt even no thats fine. I think procedurally we want to treat them all as one and rather than speak on each of them virtually individually unless the commissioners want to i think that it is not a bad idea to have audry to speak to them if you want to continue we can just know were the reason theyre on consent we dont spend a lot of time on them 9 community is doing their work and job so i dont know commissioners ill recommend either continuing this to the next meeting if you want audry or dorsey a or moving. I think i prefer to continue it to the next meeting especially no documents would be helpful o so at least know wear were consenting. Ill make ta a motion to continue to the next meeting second any Public Comment . All right. And then commissioners and staff thank you very much rule 116 is the convenient last year seen as an important step in helping Entertainment Venues sustain themselves with the onslaught of Residential Development happening throughout the city i will urge this commission as i did at the subcommittee hearing to take that continued behind the legislation more sorrowfully and broadened it so it you actually have an impact on the future of those venues after the last Committee Meeting i have had conversations with some of the folks that were very supportive the legislative side they feel they had given the Entertainment Commission nonspecific driveways derivatives to take the acts that reason tailor made for each venue it may not be sound it maybe the proposing of the front door to be next to the front door of the night club we know that is not a good idea but falls within the category of what the commissions authority is thought to be by those on the legislative side that created the legislation so im hoping that the commission can begin to expend expand that conversation and allocate information theyre willing to give a check list and also followup with the Planning Department staff and the Planning Commission to make sure that the work is not unfinished. Thank you. I appreciate that any is there any additional Public Comment . All right. If not lets the matter is with the commission lets take a vote on continuing the item until the next meeting commissioner frost commissioner lee commissioner perez commissioner thomas commissioner president tan the item is continued well have a much longer agenda next time and the hearing for the permit there is only one tonight the playground take it away deputy superintendent. Deputy director so our we think is the permit for the Entertainment Commission a Bar Restaurant and kayaking on buchanan street across the street from the japantown eating plaza if 5 to 12 00 a. M. Sunday through wednesday and 5 Public Comment p. M. To 4 00 p. M. Thursday through saturday and kayaking and this is approved with the Entertainment Permit and recommend the Good Neighbor policy as a condition so here to tell you a little bit more about the playground is owner leo roth. Hi hello, everyone. Can you speak into the microphone. Hello my name is leo roth born and raised in the city playground has been open since the ends of 2006 overall ive taken over a Family Business and actually, my fathersinlaw playground occupancy limit is 95 people we provide korean feed and private rooms were opposed sunday to monday through midnight and then through 2 00 a. M. The playground features at the ends of 2007 and as far as the Good Neighbor policy i believe there are three or four businesses on the block or the area that are occupy until 32 oclock were trying to make the neighborhood safe and everyones personal safety an issue with vehicles broken into but kind of slow down a lot weve had the Security Guards we have employed one Security Guard like cherry bloom events we will have two skrlgdz i believe we only need one more ever hundred people that is lagged or a little bit easy whether there is people outside in general as far as the businesses around us like i said, we keep in good contact with everyone and the family in general has 4 restaurants within a block and a half weve known a lot of the other Business Owners were part of Japantown Task force Business Group watch weve been with them for the past id like to two or three years we put together robber and other preservations and keeping an eye on on burglars and personal safety sorry. Great. Have you seen it sounds like everyone is happy with you guys taking over the busy better to be safe than sorry business e business one condition on the previous permit from hours of operation sunday to wednesday open until midnight is that fine with you or. I dont know what we will need in the case they want to stay open to 2 o 2 oclock we can make that condition to 2 00 a. M. All the time i dont know if you discussed that. We didnt go over that let us know what needs to be done. Could you tell us. It operationally is that your preference. I dont know in their permit applications they wanted sunday through wednesday at one a. M. I wrote it wrong i asked what the hours were. I mean teng the permit the full form to up to 2 if so a different form if you want to work after 2 00 a. M. But wanted to check with you if there is a random wednesday you wanted to run to two and something kaurp in violation of the permit it sounds like ill 0 youll like the ability to have it to 2. Questions from other commissioners. So initially youre just taking over from your relatives. Exactly. So, now it is all yours theyve passed it to you and youre the owner. And your been working for the last ten years. Weve been there 9 years but ive been involved six or seven years everything as far as operations and everything is pretty much the same not changing structural wise. Ive been in there you run is well and have good food. Thank you. No issues with me. Great commissioners other questions. Hello thanks for coming in i want to ask about our county outreach with the Neighborhood Watch is that a nonprofit organizations or way. As far as nonprofit i guess i mean, im fairly new only been involved in the past two or three years but pretty much a main local Business Owners the neighborhood and employees and pretty much just as far as we get together once a month and go over the ideas making the neighborhood a safer place as far as a nonprofit honestly i did not know but, yeah. So you included those the application eave reached out to them did you make a formal presentation or a place of entertainment did you do something formal. Nothing formal i guess i could say that was formal i talked with everyone and like wasnt like this you know power point or anything. No now just wondering how that timberland and next door is the nonprofit for seniors. Actually yes. Yes. Did you get a chance to reach out to them. No, no just our hours normally what were open theyre closed but that is something i could look a into. Ill appreciate that. All right. Any other comments if not ill open up for Public Comment does seem like our commissioners have anything more to say have a seat any Public Comment . No seeing none, Public Comment is closed commissioners like to entertain the motion i personally will recommend we lift the hour restrictions on sundays and monday and allow the whole permit another commissioners can pack make that motion. Yes. We have the Police Department saying they approve with but hours that are there i dont know about tweaking it without their recommendation. They may pull their recommendation im not sure. I know weve had other karaoke bars i mean, i cant mention but there are examples of that if we dont want to make that motion thats fine. I mean i dont see any protest or any notions by the permit officer you know abusive actions or anything like that on the applicants part i dont think as far as karaoke bar its go on going to be once in a while so i dont have a problem of listing the captions because i dont see anything here opposing the busiest and germany think that karaoke bars are not the nexus of problems closings so i think that is another general rule to think about. Would someone like to make a motion commissioner thomas. I was going to support the idea of the same way of others businesses that are able to stay open until 2 ill make the motion to approve that with this amendment of listing the times restrictions the motion to approve the permit the only police condition is the Good Neighbor policy but also with the same theres a oh, thats it. The Good Neighbor policy i thought i saw the same conditions as the previous. Thats for the temporary permit they were granted. Got it okay i second that with the Good Neighbor policy. So the motion to approve with the Good Neighbor policy as conditions no additional conditions a second lets take a vote. On that motion with the Good Neighbor policy as a condition and the amendment of listing the time restrictions commissioner thomas commissioner perez commissioner lee commissioner frost no okay. And commissioner president tan. With that the motion passes thank you very much were going to move on to the next item. Theres no agenda. Okay item 7 commissioner comments and questions commissioners any questions or comments commissioner perez no commissioner frost. I saw the st. Patricks day parade the rain held off it was the organizer got wet but had a good time im happy the work is pretty much over for me so life is good again, you guys were involved in stipulate about was a was loads of fun thank you. Commissioner perez. I wasnt here but commissioner laura for the family and look forward to work with you. I second that. I also whatnot here at the last meeting just to report out basic things a conference in charlton South Carolina for the Hospitality Institute essentially any cities that came together organized by the nonprofit interested in kind of getting night life for multiple cities with the registered and the Law Enforcement folks like ourselves we dont have any peers so it is really a learning inheritance by a lot of people did a presentation and a panel where people were just shocked we had Something Like the Entertainment Commission as people from oakland and san jose and other parts of country to come up after so something to know and not to pat ourselves but thank all the folks and the hard work and all the work our staff does and continues to do to push our agenda along so i dont know if people have questions. They must have been impressed with our relationship that was passed for us to have the power and the input on that. Yeah. They there was nothing like that people were basically trying to figure out how do we enforce code visions and to the next level we have a voice in the planning process when a was unheard of people i think people are getting used to the idea of hospitality and night life as an asset i think we made the case not just but to be protected i think that is kind of a level two or three of how scombens we are to other cities. All right. Any Public Comment on our commissioner questions or comments not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Our final item is a new agenda items for future meetings any thoughts i know outside the meeting as well all right. Im going to oh, any comment on that no . Sorry i forget those procedures all right.

changed the relationship on the 0i8d of the ridership and Great Britain and the relationship with the United States and relationships with europe im conscious it means Different Things to different people while the irish know about that the refreshing americans know and most americans with not familiar with was it stood for ive tried to find the colonel why it is important for everybody and our prayed marks that occasion how to ties to the communities here in america and particularly in San Francisco and the word ill use is in justice what caused the men and women of eastern 1916 to stand up in refwhern a minority and they were told to stay home by something compelled them to take to the streets and even as a time the conflict with the worldclass 1 remaining and later on have any rich americans and serving with the American Services what compelled them to act that was in justice a history of centuries of injustice of being third class subjects to some other people and that resonated very much with the irish experience in america coming here to the first Great Republic if you read the words finds proclamation they echo the words finding declaration of independence to find the majority of them spent time the america and closest family ties to America America is the only name mentions specifically the irish declaration of independence thats one reason we mark that occasion authenticity the human injustice when necessary rose up they were not welcomed by the population of dunn dublin the first horrible days of sheilas and killings they were insult and spat on what changed brought the rest of the country to the point of views and again, we come back to injustice it is what we saw happened the immediate aftermath of the arising the xooigsz and the imposition of mash law you go back to that thing theyve stood up to protest we did this we will have to because of the injustice thai had to be responsible for the same hands that led to their dedicate an irish people have had enough injustice the theme of enjustice links us to other people in other parts of word i want to an event with the New York Times talked about an irish at the age of 14 and mentioned

proud theyre irish people that are running the receiving camps in turkey and lebanon im proud to reach out to the community and south american and afghan the lessons of 1816 why people throughout the century laid down their lives is fundamentally this is a battle against injustice that inis something that takes place the world around you, we have the responsibility to respond to those in need and respond to the problems of world and find solutions that the people like our people dont interest have to turn outside for help and assistance and they can go home the city of San Francisco stands for many things one of the greatest things it stand for it fairness and equality and inclusiveness that the irish experience came out here under e unlike the irish on the east coast they didnt face the

R. Parked cars and stay out of separated bike lanes unless an emergency dashed bike lanes are a shared zone four for vehicles to change lanes slow bike lanes allow the circles their unusually sprayed before me from other traffic some bike lanes are built to the level higher than the street but lower than the sidewalk they provide a safe separated space sponsor cyclists are around vehicles the box areas are marked with the stencil at intersections act as advanced limit lines for people to garter at a red light this increases the 1r0ir7b9 to drivers people will ride past stopped vehicles at the fronltd of the intersection give them room and stop short of limit line behind the bike without objection and cross only after the green light and people cleared the bike box bicycle traffic lights allow people on bikes to proceed while vehicles are stopped be unaware aware of those bike San Francisco General Hospital but stay alert and only skrans when the vehicle is cleared the intersection lets take a quiz to see what all of learned here we go number one when do month collisions happen did you say in daytime youre correct question two if antersection is not marched is it still a crosswalk yes did you get it right great job one more before we go on whats one of the best things to do to avoid collisions . You can it take a breath Pay Attention and slow down city streets are crowded and chaotic so seeing everyone every single everything is difficult heres a test how many times did the white team pass the ball . If you answered 11 youre correct but did you notice anything else also be aware ever youre surrounded and remember that is easy 0 miss something if youre not looking for it heres some basic principles driving near peep e people from youre drivers seat it is difficult address our mirrors to reduce blind spots people on bicycles maybe be in our blind spot give yourselves plenty of time to react look out stay on the road from building to building not just curve to curve check driveways and behind parked vehicles for people that enter our path turning vehicles are especially dangerous important people walking and collisions often occur when vehicles are making tunnels when you turn remember check for people using the crosswalk before starting youre turn watch for people on bikes traveling in the ongoing direction always check our mirrors and blind spots patience pays off take a moment to make sure youre clear while it might feel youll save time by driving fast or turning without checking you wont save driving only adds a few semiautomatic to our trip a collision can cost you, your job or someones live heres important things to remember all crosswalks are legal and pedestrian have the rightofway people cross the street anywhere children and seniors and people with disabilities are the most vulnerable think city strits give buses and streetcars a lot of the space or people returning to catch a train dont block the box this creates dangerous situation for people walking how are forced into moving traffic and people bicycling out of the bike lane and people on bikes most city streets are legal for bicyclists even without signs people biking can fall in front of you provide a safe amount of space when passing someone on a bike a minimum of 3 feet is required by law in california and people on bikes prefer to be in the bike lane in for the this is often to avoid accidents give them room people on bikes will stay away from the traffic or watch out for open doors whoops that was a close one expect people to go to the front of the light and pass on the right a tap of the horn maybe useful to make youre preservation known but avoid using the horn it may saturday night be someone vehicles anybody right turns are especially dangerous important biking always approach right turns properly signal early and wait for people biking through the intersection move as far to the right to people on bikes can pass on the left lets try a few more questions who are the most Vulnerable People on city streets . Children . Seniors, and people with disabilities why do people on bikes ride close to travel there to avoid car doors what is one of the most dangerous situations for people walking and riding bikes . Turning vehicles and what can you do to make sure that everyone is safe in any situation . Thartsz stay patient and alert and, of course, slow down parking and loading a vehicle on accredit city streets is a challenge weather parking and unloading always check for people in our mirrors and blind spots and on the drivers side with our right turn right hand this causes you to look 40 on your left for bicyclists when passersby exiting the vehicle make sure about opening the door know where loading zones are if not loading zones available use side streets never stop in bike lanes or traffic lanes. Bad weathering and visible rain and fog or low lighting make it hard to see youre vehicle is likely to slide or loss control in eye i didnt controls and create issues for people walking and biking they tried try to avoid pulled and umbrellas and construction get slippery for people the safety thing to do in conditions whether wet or icy or dark slow down and drive more carefully remember going fast may on this save you a few semiautomatic but speeding may cause you a life or youre job people walking and biking are Vulnerable People can be distracted or make unsafe decisions as a driver the responsibility for safety lies with you a collision could mean the loss of our life or youre job and dealing with the legal implementations could take years or an emotional toll if someone is killed in a crash help us achieve vision zero and everyone can use the streets safely.

Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Lets look at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for welcome to culturewire. Today we are at recology. They are celebrate 20 years of one of the most incredibly unique Artist Residency programs. We are here to learn more from one of the resident artists. Welcome to the show, deborah. Tell us how this Program Began 20 years ago. The Program Began 20 years ago. Our founder was an environmentalist and an activist and an artist in the 1970s. She started these street sweeping campaigns in the city. She started with kids. They had an exhibition at city hall. City officials heard about her efforts and they invited her to this facility. We thought it would coincide with our efforts to get folks to recycle, it is a great educational tool. Since then, we have had 95 professional artists come through. How has the Program Changed over the years . How has the program what can the public has an artist engage with . For the most part, we worked with metal and wood, what you would expect from a program like ours. Over the years, we tried to include artists and all types of mediums. Conceptual artists, at installation, photographers, videographers. That has really expanded the program out. It is becoming so dynamic right now with your vision of interesting artists in gauging here. Why would an artist when to come here . Mainly, access to the materials. We also give them a lot of support. When they start, it is an empty studio. They go out to the public area and we call it the big store. They go out shopping, take the materials that, and get to work. It is kind of like a reprieve, so they can really focus on their body of work. When you are talking about recology, do you have the only Sculpture Garden at the top . It is based on work that was done many years ago in new york. It is the only kind of structured, artist program. Weit is beautiful. A lot of the plants you see were pulled out of the garbage, and we use our compost to transplant them. The pathway is lined with rubble from the earthquake from the freeways we tour about 5000 people a year to our facility, adults and children. We talk about recycling and conservation. They can meet the artists. Fantastic. Lets go meet some of your current artists. Here we are with lauren. Can you tell us how long have been here so far and what youre working on . We started our residency on june 1, so we came into the studio then and spent most of the first couple weeks just digging around in the trash. I am continuing my body of work, kind of making these hand embroidered objects from our daytoday life. Can you describe some of the things you have been making here . This is amazing. I think i started a lot of my work about the qualities of light is in the weight. I have been thinking a lot about things floating through the air. It is also very windy down here. There is a piece of sheet music up there that i have embroidered third. There is a pamphlet about hearing dea nearing death. This is a dead rabbit. This is what i am working on now. This is a greeting card that i found, making it embroidered. It is for a very special friend. While we were looking at this, i glanced down and this is amazing, and it is on top of a book, it is ridiculous and amazing. I am interested in the serendipity of these still life compositions. When he got to the garbage and to see the arrangement of objects that is completely spontaneous. It is probably one of the least thought of compositions. People are getting rid of this stuff. It holds no real value to them, because theyre disposing of it. Were here in another recology studio with abel. What attracted you to apply for this special program . Who would not want to come to the dump . But is the first question. For me, being in a situation that youre not comfortable in has always been the best. What materials were you immediately attracted to when you started and so what was available here . There are a lot of books. That is one of the thing that hits me the most. Books are good for understanding, language, and art in general. Also being a graphic designer, going straight to the magazines and seeing all this printed material being discarded has also been part of my work. Of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. Job mr. Some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. Taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. The first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. It was actually a poster. It was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. In terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. So being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. How do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the threedimensional . Maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. Everything is in the process of becoming. Things are never said or settled. The sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. It becomes a part of something else. Theres always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. At the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. Thank you so much for allowing culturewire to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. Is there anything you like our viewers to know . We have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. Everybody is welcome to come out. We have food. Sometimes we have gains and bands. It is great time. From june to september, we accept applications from bay area artists. We encouraged artists from all mediums to apply. We want as many artists from the bay area out here so they have the same experience. How many artists to do your host here . 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. Very competitive.

Some of us have never had a kitchen not taught how to cookie wasnt taught how to cook. I have a great appreciation for programs that teach kids food and cooking it is one of the healthiest positive things you can communicate to people that are very young. The more programs like the cooking project in general that can have a positive impact how our kids eat is really, really important i believe that everybody should venting to utilize the kitchen and meet other kids their age to identify theyre not alone and their ways in which to pick yours up and move forward that. It is really important to me the opportunity exists and so i do everything in my power to keep it that.
