1980-1981
Fall 1980
Out of the Ordinary: Jo Hanson, Fran Martin, Jim Growden
9/30-10/31/80
Jo Hanson collects, catalogs, and displays trash she gathers during her anthropological sweeps (ten years of sweeping street trash outside her San Francisco home), delving into social context and esthetic transformation. Jim Growden assembles waterfront objects that still smell of the elements, welding and shaping sculptures. Fran Martin captures signs and walls of San Francisco, with emotion and humor, saving images that often disappear.

Among the Tiv in northern Nigeria, after a baby is 6 months old, it is handed over to an older brother, sister, or cousin, who thereafter carries the baby about on the hip… "I have seen an old man introduce another, with deep affection, as 'The brother who carried me on his hip.' For this bond, set up in childhood, is sacred even beyond other ties of blood." Return to Laughter, Eleanor Smith Bowen
An exhibition of art created by male artists and in some way related to children. The number of works in this genre over the centuries is insufficient to call this even a minor theme in Western art. Lew Thomas (San Francisco) worked collaboratively with his daughter; Tetsuya Noda (Japan) made prints based on the everyday activities of his family; David Bradford (Berkeley) formed images of strength for black children; James Rosen (Santa Rosa), known in galleries for large minimal paintings, drew a personal art filled with views of his own children in a manner reminiscent of old masters.
