Mayor and senator mark leno has been a Wonderful Team effort we need a reminder how important our history is we need to know looked past what happened last week by the way, we often know that those who dont learn from our history are doomed to repeat it i can think of no prouder symbol than the Historic Society and the building to insure we as kablgz acknowledge your history understand our history and again proud of our history if you look at what the voters said in the country versus what the voters said in california the voters in california seem pretty happy weve been able to balance you are budgets and be able to grow our economy and at the same time, we have really enforced a strong equivalent eco system throughout San Francisco but literally throughout the state and volunteers really doubled down on the efforts efforts in sacramento not only sent most of us back more democrats back but really saying theyre proud of the leadership of what is really going on in sacramento i think as we go into uncharged waters and urban charntd teller territory a time we as californians should stay the course and do more of what we do more in San Francisco more of what were doing i recall the efforts about 20 years ago when willie brown, jr. As renovating city hall and how much criticism he got why is this so most money into a government building why really make sure that that building was renovated people called that a waste of money and really didnt see very much value what is interesting today you watch you know when i used to work another city hall i had to fight the tour buses to get if so many people not only in San Francisco that are proud of that building and the structure what that stands for as a beacon for the city but people from around the world come and now as long as going to the Golden Gate Bridge and walking through the financial district, walking interest our Ferry Building and the piers and chinatown people come to city hall not only as a symbol of San Francisco is but was it embodies i hope we can be here very, very soon at some point to do a Ribbon Cutting and talk about how this building really personifies the incredible history the incredible value so again, im so proud to play a small roll in securing the one Million Dollars grant i was joking with the mayor that would be a matching grant right mark and make sure the monies get real leveraged well but excited about seeing all the work that has been done and thank you, mark and ann they for all the hard work.

Thank you, 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 can have the same experience. How many artists to do your host here . 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. Very competitive. But everyone should be encouraged to apply. Thank you again for hosting us. Thank you for including us in culturewire.

But anyway, and for good reason when i been these mayors i think about urban savings account i will say that were all going both struggling and vanls the cities when it comes to job creation and manufacturing in particular i think were not building citizens and villages it is job creation it is about people and i look around this room weve got the people in finance, city, foundations that are trying to help us with our vision and youve got people who are trying out things and companies that are but making things as the Maker Movement but to put them in the context of more than manufacturing how to support each other and more and more us mayors in the entire bay area will be working closely together we have to understand the skies of supply change of manufacturing not do everything in one city anymore but require a bay area approach what we recognize i cant manufacturer cars i have no room unless a really, really small car. laughter but were going to be proud of our breweries and our chocolates and proud of our tie im wearing in particular because blue is mustered and designed and made here in San Francisco and we could be selling products as i said in the video that the people around the world would love to have when we put our city label that are on things made here an international constituency i think some of the other brands out find europe 19 are meeting their course and people buy something here that has San Francisco made label on it theyll feel proud of that is high quality whether the fashion industry that we are trying to resurrect we used to have a lot of fashion here it didnt disappear but gone on hiatus were doing not mass manufacturing but designs with fashion like the accessories movement sincerely erratics and worldclass stuff made very we have over 6 hundred Manufacturing Companies in San Francisco theyre looking for the talent that can coming out come out not net of the university but talent from the college and city college where were making tremendous invests of people that dont have to have 4 year degrees job creation is about a village coming together to make sure it happens land use issues we have to deal with were going to go into more detail thats a great cigarette way at the end of the day my whole staff and most of my partners thinking about manufacturers are the opportunity for people it really comes down to the people the people that work in those companies it is the possibility of shared ownership and diverse ownership of those Companies One of my farther i love sharing when i travel east for the belt where im from more than 50 percent of the manufactured in San Francisco are owned by women and i think outside the box as a bellwether. clapping. thats a well weather inform what were capable of in the bay area one program i heard about im excited to learn more as we talk about sharing mayor is the San Francisco works one of the real opportunity and challenges in the data we collected ask that we both struggle with Legacy Manufacturers whether environment or food having amazing workforce and not net the next generation coming up behind them and manufacturing with a skill so tells you more about what you guys are trying to do to address that. Actually certainly i think we recognize the economic issue how we address the growing gap between rich and poor not more acute with the cost of living here in San Francisco for the opportunities to provide a path with jobs and manufacturing we launched an effort with la jolla partners and with the future being a key participate and, of course, your manufactured our employers and seeing how we can focus on both retraining adults and getting to our for them not cool to be a manufacturer and we need to demonstrate to them there are great opportunities and great careers not just about amy there is cool stuff out there and so far weve had Great Success like some have participated in hiring over the summer and ultimately offering some of the young adults permanent jobs that is great for them for the future work Program One Hundred folks trained and employed in advanced manufacturing and really know that requires great and greater skills not the manufacturing line they need to have advanced skills around understanding computer and using advanced technologies and their skills are demanded at the Assembly Level so we wanted to partner with a Community Private sector to get folks on the Assembly Line or folks into the Assembly Line the skills for the advanced manufacturers there is Significant Growth one of the things we also learned even if we talk about the work of Assembly Line it is different than it used to be and working on an Assembly Line is working with 20 people not necessarily 2 hundred people one thing that is similar across the city a broad range for the two and three person shop and old oakland is a better example of having that in the same city i know that you have done and personally as the leadership in kind of external lists the Food Manufacturing and connect it back to the community as we think about how to make it easier for folks to understand whats that journey been like. In oakland the food and beverages industry has allowed us to what i think we all need to do is make this an enticing field for everyone to understand how different the industry is now so weve used it as a creativity marking tool to fill the notch around the food and beverages in oakland and created a food trail along the waterfront to have a mc2 over 50 sites that people can come and ride their bikes how many people have done that. By the next time next year. Were on it. laughter . You can bike along the food trail 50 sites and see food and visit our urban wineries a trail as well and it allows us to market oakland in this very specialized way and also talk about what a restauranteur industry we have in oakland been a creative way i think to talk about the Manufacturing Sector in a different way. This whole initiate wouldnt have been possible selfwe hadnt had the blessing of our own mayor sfmade is progressively in San Francisco and a leader that hadnt only spider us but gourjd us to see what we can do collectively across the region why would you do that laughter . First of all, i grew up in a family were any mom was a seamstresses used to someone as a head of the 40ur8d making things seeing the delight in her eyes she used to do sky jackets with the do you think she was proud of stitch if you got the right stitches that dont cough the details like that effect our whole life i paid attention to a lot of the details because you train hand to use coordination with the speed and when theyre sold their seed well, you take pride in the brand thats what the workforce in the Manufacturing Industry feel they feel they own the product where it is sold and resold they get this product so a personal aspect of that kind of drove me to Pay Attention particularly when it came to fashioned so many other things are happen that cause our space to be reused in a productive way when you think of obesity when you think that i know restaurant theyre doing skateboards now the overlay of Technology Cat boards are not made with just a material but an overlay of Electronics Like at circa in the film you look at that Assembly Line and the neat part of it they have new types of machineryy that guide provision of cutting, that provision helps because when you have a whole piece of laefrp and youre making a belt there is a lot of center unused leather with the machinery they can position that belt design into the leather to get twice as much out of one piece an overlay computerized accuracy of that belt so switching 19 stitching it is still part of manufacturing of that apparel but overlayed by great level of technology that helps with quality with the design, with the environment for the use of those materials there are incredible tributes of state of mind we have to wrap up id like to hang out but how often do we get four cities together it is looking at we need to connect each other capabilities together we have garment manufactured in oakland and San Francisco but not the Electronics Manufacturing and scale for example, you might have in san jose thats one opportunity so the workforce which resides all over the bay area and we are excited about the bart station in fremont i think is one of the countries First Transit oriented industrial elephant taking the development to a whole new level and, yes we can clap for that. clapping. so let me ask in conclusion, this may be one the harder requests of the recognized people in 3 words not possible. Each something that you would most be existed about as we looked at a few years together. In manufacturing. 3 words mr. Mayor. Build be talent, pipeline. Internet of things. laughter . Wow. Its about the young people for me support support more people.
