Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (GAFFTA) is pleased to announce its Inaugural Exhibition, OPEN, featuring the works of C.E.B. Reas, Camille Utterback and Stamen Design. Including new works from three pioneers in the field of digital art, OPEN celebrates GAFFTA’s arrival as San Francisco’s leading digital arts organization and cornerstone of The City’s emerging Tenderloin Arts District.
OPEN commences with a series of fundraising events, public celebrations and workshops October 1st – 4th, with related programming running through November 18th (see full calendar of Grand Opening events below).
The multidisciplinary works in OPEN span a range of formats and techniques: from prints and sculptures to interactive video, generative processes and cartography. While the styles of each featured artists are unique and diverse, all the works in GAFFTA’s Inaugural Exhibition exemplify the core values of our organization’s creative vision and civic mission: technology, community and openness.

"Let me have my fun": Aldo Palazzeschi on the Press
Free Letterpress Printmaking Event
Kathleen Burch, cofounder, The San Francisco Center for the Book
John McBride, editor, Invisible City
Paul Vangelisti, translator and poet
The San Francisco Center for the Book, 300 De Haro Street
Thursday and Friday, October 15 and 16, 2009
2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (drop-in hours)
As part of this open-house printing, the public may help create and take home a free poster of Aldo Palazzeschi's poem "Let me have my fun" (1910), an early futurist text first published in the U.S. by editor John McBride and poet Paul Vangelisti in a 1972 issue of their magazine Invisible City. Recognizing the tremendous impact of Futurism on the graphic art of the 20th century, the event also celebrates the simultaneous centenary of the Vandercook Proofing Press, a machine that has been crucial to the development of contemporary book arts. During Vangelisti's performance, the clack of the press complements his bilingual recitation of the text in Italian and in English.

Free and open to the public.
