Directions »
Info: 415.703.9563
Paul Discoe is a designer and Zen Buddhist priest. He apprenticed in Japan with traditional temple builders and has designed and built many Zen temples, residential projects, grand estates, and modular structures. He helped transform a rustic hot-springs resort into Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. His team at Joinery Structures recently created a modular cardboard zendo for Burning Man. Currently he is working on a new Zen temple complex for Sonoma Mountain Zen Center. Discoe focuses on sustainable design and building practices.
His commitment to the environment (and deep respect for wood as a material) inspired him to open an urban lumber mill that salvages and recycles trees cut down in Oakland to make low-cost, prefabricated housing systems and furniture. His lecture will include not only an overview of his past work, but also an in-depth discussion of the wood types available in this area, their uses, how to cut and dry them, when to machine them, and how to deal with imperfections.
The Design and Craft Lecture Series is funded by the Wornick Endowment Fund.

Mapping Exhibitions at SFSU
Cartographic Imagination/An Atlas
The twin exhibitions Cartographic Imagination: Mapping in Contemporary California Art and An Atlas unfold the beauty, mystery and hidden meanings behind maps, on display simultaneously. The 28 works help find the way about a range of a host of environmental and social issues from all angles, including criminal justice, human rights, politics and more.
SFO/OAK from the Airport Project
Cartographic Imagination
Cartographic Imagination is a new show exploring maps as both image and cipher, in media including photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, new technologies, performance and installation. The exhibition intends to expand the long history of the conceptual use of mapping in art into 21st century expressions and practice.
An Atlas
An Atlas is a traveling exhibition of artists working with “radical cartography”—a practice that uses maps and mapping to promote social change, and that is part of a cultural movement linking art, geography and activism. The participating artists, architects and collectives play with cartographic conventions—geographic shapes, wayfinding symbols, and aerial views—to take on issues from globalization to garbage.
Event Details
Reception: Saturday, September 19, 1–3pm
Exhibit: September 19 - October 15
Admission is free.
Hours: Wednesdays–Saturdays, 11am–4pm
Location: Fine Arts Building, Room 238

JIM SHERRADEN "Advertising Without Posters Is Like Fishing Without Worms"
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 7 pm
SAN FRANCISCO CAMPUS, TIMKEN LECTURE HALL
1111 EIGHTH STREET (AT 16TH AND WISCONSIN)
If you're at all a fan of graphic design or music, you'll recognize the unmistakable look of Nashville's Hatch Show Print. Founded in 1879, it is among America's oldest letterpress design shops and has evolved into a tourist attraction, museum, and historical archive as well. Jim Sherraden is its manager, chief designer, and archivist. In addition to managing all the new jobs ordered each week (Hatch designs and produces more than 600 projects annually), he has been systematically hand printing the shop's massive archive of woodblocks into unique monoprints for collectors and museum shows worldwide. A Smithsonian-organized exhibition of Hatch posters is touring through 2012.
Recent Hatch Show Print posters have featured B. B. King, Neil Young, Coldplay, Anthropologie, the New York Times, Wired magazine, and Taylor Guitars. Sherraden's CCA presentation will begin with the very first poster printed at Hatch, then speed through more than 100 years of hand-set graphic design.
ALL LECTURES ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. CALL 415.703.9563 OR VISIT WWW.CCA.EDU/CALENDAR TO CONFIRM DATES AND TIMES.
SIGN UP AT WWW.CCA.EDU/SUBSCRIBE TO GET CCA NEWS AND EVENTS DELIVERED BY EMAIL EACH MONTH.
THE DESIGN AND CRAFT LECTURE SERIES IS FUNDED BY THE WORNICK ENDOWMENT FUND.
GENEROUS SUPPORT FOR CCA PUBLIC PROGRAMS IN SAN FRANCISCO HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY GRANTS FOR THE ARTS / SAN FRANCISCO HOTEL TAX FUND.
