[SFGP] Fwd: Ross Mirkarimi's Third Firday's Art Opening January 20th

[announce at sfgreens.org]

Hi all:

Sorry this wasn't in the SF GREEN PARTY WEEKLY 1/15/05 - 1/21/05 
newsletter...I didn't get this until after I sent the newsletter out.

This will be a good event to attend before Matt's benefit:

---------

1/20: Ross Mirkarimi's Third Firday's Art Opening

WHEN:
Friday, January 20
5:00PM-8:00PM

WHERE:
San Francisco City Hall, 1 Carlton B Goodlett Place, Room 282, San 
Francisco

DETAILS:
Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi hosts the monthly Third Friday’s Art 
Reception in his City Hall office. This month's featured artist is Andy 
Diaz Hope.

Andy Diaz Hope, a Bay Area native, questions the stereotypes and 
cliches circulated by popular media. By refabricating the form in which 
we sustain our self-image and protect ourselves from our image as an 
enemy, Diaz Hope wants to draw our attention to the threads with which 
our very social fabric is bound and fashioned. Often funny and always 
telling, his work permits candid interactions to deconstruct our 
stereotypes, prejudices and preconceived notions, be they conscious  or 
not.

Diaz Hope has shown his work in the MoMA permanent collection, the 
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, the National Gallery of Victoria in 
Australia, and the London Crafts Counsil, as well as in numerous shows 
throughout the United States, England, Australia and Japan. You can 
view his work online at www.andydiazhope.com.
