![]() ![]() Xie Mingwei, a 30-year-old woman born in Harbin, the capital of northeast Heilongjiang province, has chosen a multi-faceted career to make a living in Beijing. Many young Chinese who have been pursuing multiple professional experiences for money, fun, liberty or their personal values are probably reconceptualizing the meaning of work. In October of 2013 The Podolls opened a flagship store in the Bay Area and the collection is carried by some of the country’s leading boutiques.A photo shows a female "slash youth" who works in Beijing in 2019. Fashion Designer Josh Podoll began a line of graphic tees in 2003 that has since blossomed and evolved into The Podolls, a line of stylish, sustainable, handcrafted garments for women designed by he and his wife Lauren. Fine Art Framer Peter Kirkeby has been producing custom fine art frames for artists and institutions in San Francisco and beyond for the past 20 years, a tradition that his family began over 40 years ago in the Bay Area. His publication, the THING Quarterly, has included contributions by luminaries John Baldessari and Dave Eggers among others. His films have been exhibited in film festivals nationally and internationally, most recently at the 2014 Whitney Biennial and at SFMOMA as a SECA awardee. Filmmaker and experimental publisher Jonn Herschend’s off kilter mocu/docu/narrative films explore fiction, reality and the narrative structures that we employ as a way to explain the chaos and clutter of our everyday lives. She was most recently featured in Proximities 3: Import/Export at the Asian Art Museum, curated by Glen Helfand. Her work delves into the nuances of power structures, identity and sexuality and her performances engage viewers to become participants, creating community in unlikely environments. Performance Artist Amanda Curreri has made a name for herself as a critically acclaimed sociopolitical performance artist. He has received a multiplicity of awards from the San Francisco Artisan Fragrance Salon and his scents are critically reviewed and were featured in Bruce Hainley’s “Best Of” list for Art Forum. Perfumier Bruno Fazzolari thinks of perfume as an “abstract art form.” He creates artisanal, contemporary scents that are hand poured in small batches. ![]() SLASH/ the exhibition presents to you: Painter / Perfumier / Performance Artist / Filmmaker / Fine Art Framer / Fashion Designer. Their alternate practices openly inform and are informed by their long history as abstract painters. Some are better known as painters while others are better known for their /SLASH/ other talent. Like Slash, the artists in this exhibition are a mash-up of talents. Stewart became the quintessential Slash player with the ability to play multiple positions on the offensive side of the ball, making him a threat to run, pass, or catch on any given play. Few players have the ability and raw talent to play a combination that includes the quarterback position. So what did they do with him? They made him a Quarterback / Running Back / Wide Receiver / Punter and nicknamed him Slash. They had a starting QB and Stewart didn’t exactly fit the mold of the traditional QB, but he was a freakishly good athlete. At the time, the Steelers didn’t know what to do with him. In 1995 the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted an All-American quarterback from the University of Colorado. There will be an opening reception for the artists on Friday, June 20th, 6-9pm. Romer Young Gallery is pleased to present /SLASH/, an exhibition featuring the paintings of five artists: Amanda Curreri, Bruno Fazzolari, Jonn Herschend, Peter Kirkeby and Josh Podoll. ![]()
