Today I spell checked the names of famous Bay Area artists as a task for me boss. Here are some of the neat things I came across:
Kota Ezawa "Image from History of Photography Remix," 2005, 35mm slide show (40 slides)edition of 6
Rigo 23, Sculpture on the campus of San Jose State University in San Jose, California. portraying 1968 U.S. Olympics athletes Tommie Smith (gold, #1) and John Carlos (Bronze, #3) on the Olympics winners podium delivering a Black Power salute during the playing of the US National Anthem at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. The space for #2, which was occupied by Australian sprinter (and protest supporter) Peter Norman, was left empty so that viewers could also "take a stand."
Rupert Garcia "1975, 2002" (2002) woodcut. h: 42 x w: 31.5 in / h: 106.7 x w: 80 cm 
I learn something fascinating every time I read this blog. I'm haunted by the fact that those great artworks are in storage... just like my old clothes.
