Visual Narratives: “Shut Up Honky” 

By Leena Prasad 

Your Existence Gives Me Hope, a sidewalk stencil proclaimed. I pulled out my tiny digital camera 

and snapped a quick shot, happy to add another entry to my growing visual journal of these phrases 

stenciled into the sidewalks of The Mission neighborhood. A few weeks later I noticed a similar stamp, 

except with a small update. Next to the Your Existence Gives Me Hope was also stamped Your 

Existence Gives me Diarrhea. Although I enjoyed the gushy sentimentality of the original graffiti, I was 

delighted to see that the original clichéd stencil had been retrofitted into the mission culture. 

Several months ago, I had written a column about the Kill Yuppys sidewalk graffiti. Since then, there has 

been an exponential increase in these pavement graffiti and an antagonistic conversation seems to have 

started between the original ‘artist’ and some of the graffiti audience. A quick search on Google revealed 

a wide fascination with these sidewalk stencils: there were photos posed on Flickr.com, Webshots.com, 

Tribe.net, and many other websites. 

Who is behind these sidewalk musings? I met a documentary filmmaker who wants to find and interview 

the ‘artist.’ On the social network tribe.net, some guess that the messages are from a Christian group 

spreading its gospels. There is an ongoing debate whether these are art, vandalism, or public service. 

I’m not interested in knowing the artist or the culprit or the religious fanatic. The stencils have simply 

added a new dimension to my regular walks. Whenever I see the ubiquitous I Want You So Bad or You 

Make My Dreams Come True or any of the other original stencils followed by an editorial Shut Up Honky, 

I feel an affirmation of the character of The Mission, a place with a personality that I love more than any 

other neighborhood in San Francisco. I love finding a stamp that I have not seen before or a response 

to existing ones. I especially enjoy the fact that the new stencils are attempting to wrestle back The 

Mission voice from the original mushy gushy potentially religious messages that are out of tune with 

the ‘rebel with a cause’ Mission culture. It is kin to experiencing an emotional discussion between two 

friends. 

I’m sure that not everyone is as gushingly supportive of these minor forms of entertainment as I am and 

might look upon them as nothing more than vandalism. During a recent walk, I started looking around 

the graffiti to see if they were destroying the ambience of their surroundings. The effect was actually 

quite the opposite. They detract from some of the old, worn our and sometimes dirty sidewalks. I don’t 

see these stencils in my own Noe Valley neighborhood where flowers and plants abound on the sidewalk 

Mission Arts Monthly Oct/Nov 2006 www.missionarts.org page 3

and where these stamps would probably be washed out immediately if they were ever to make an 

appearance. I’m not sure that it’s necessarily a good thing to paint over them – they would add a 

delightful character to the immaculately clean Noe Valley. 

To anyone who dislikes them, I’d say ‘just walk over it.’ The objective of art is to stir emotions, to 

force people out of their everyday existence and to think beyond their world. These stenciled stamps 

have managed to do that by stirring a dialogue. They’ll dissolve into the landscape in a few months 

so we won’t have to use taxpayer funds to wash over them. They also bring attention to sidewalks 

in desperate need of maintenance. If the graffiti causes Mayor Gavin Newsom to clean up the 

pavements, these stamps would have achieved a much needed neighborhood restoration service. 

There is a case to be made for these as a valid genesis of art. The tradition of mural paintings, 

which started as unsanctioned painting of public walls, has become a publicly funded San Francisco 

tradition. Artists like Keith Herring whose works now hang in major museums, got their start via graffiti 

art. If those voices had been turned off, we would have missed the core influences of much of modern 

visual art and had been stuck with the tired centuries old art that does not 

speak to the new generations or to the people whose ancestry is not rooted in the European 

traditions. 

I hope these stencils cheer up some people. I’m certainly entertained by the sarcastic responses and 

would be happy to support their existence with my tax dollars.

Terror? 

@ Intersection for the Arts 446 Valencia Street 

September 11 - November 11, 2006, FREE 

Gallery Hours: Tues by appointment, Wed - Sat, 12-5pm 

�� 

Terror? is an international interdisciplinary project investigating how each one of us experiences fear and how it affects 

our lives. 

Opening on the 5th Anniversary of 9/11, this ambitious exhibition will include hundreds of works on paper from around 

the world - creating a cacophony of personal and collective response to some of the most immediate questions and 

issues of our times. What is terror? Who perpetrates it? How does fear control us, and the world around us? Who 

are we taught to be afraid of, why? What does fear cost? Where does personal fear intersect with larger societal and 

political messages of terror? It is our hope and intention to engage with and share voices and perspectives from a 

diversity of cultures, political situations, and artistic practices, and to counter the continuing trend towards defining and 

understanding notions of terror and fear as a monolithic paradigm framed by the ongoing “war on terror.” In addition to 

an exhibition in our gallery, Terror? includes a film screening, readings, public discussions and performance.

The MAPP 

MISSION ARTS & PERFORMANCE PROJECT 

Saturday, October 14th, 2006 

The Mission Arts & Performance Project is a bi-monthly collaboration between visual artists, musicians, poets 

and performers. The MAPP puts art and performance on the street level by using alternative spaces such as 

private garages, basements, and studios. It’s a block party of the arts for inspiring in ourselves, and others, the 

desire for a creative existence, an ever widening experience of life. 

By transforming garages and backyards into 

mini-galleries MAPP shows how ordinary 

spaces can be made extra-ordinary to 

bring people together to share in a diverse 

experience of fine art and performance. The 

garages, as they are unpretentious and open 

to the street, pose the possibility of exposing 

the arts to a lot of folks who might not ever 

enter a gallery or theater. This process 

helps take the art from the margins of our 

communities to where it may come to be 

more widely see and understood as a vibrant 

and vital force necessary to the health of our 

society. It is our hope that local residents and 

others attending the MAPP will be inspired 

to seek expression of their own experiences 

and feelings through creative means and join 

in sharing what they have discovered in the 

MAPP events to come. 

1PM-4PM 

The FAMILY MAPP 

- Red Poppy Art House - 

The MAPP now offers a full afternoon of 

activities for youth. Mural & sidewalk art, face 

painting, tie dye, drum circle, dance, and 

healthy snacks. 

7PM-11PM 

The MAPP 

Art Exhibits, Music, Poetry, Dance, & Film in 13 Locations! 

The MAPP features performances and art exhibits simultaneously and for one night only at locations listed 

below. There’s no way to see everything, but this is part of the fun. It happens all at once, like a creative bomb 

going off in the neighborhood. The following is a list of spaces with some of the acts and exhibiting artists. 

Check back for more info as we get closer to the date. 

MAPP TOUR 7PM 

Begins at the Art House and tours all MAPP locations. Recommended for MAPP newcomers.

America: 

photographs by 

Ursula G. Huete @ 

ATA 

America is a photographic 

project about the artist’s time 

in the United States. There 

are two collections of pictures: 

the San Francisco project and 

the California project. The San 

Francisco project is a collection of 

pictures taken in the streets of the 

city. The California project is about 

the feeling of being outdoors. 

Ursula Huete is originally from 

Barcelona, Spain.

IN THE STUDIO... 

Meri Page Design Fresh organic art glass, inspired by nature. 

Rarely starting from a pattern, these stained glass pieces evolve 

spontaneously - each one unique. An exploration of organic shapes, 

abstraction, negative space, color, light, form and surface. My work 

incorporates a variety of materials: glass, rocks, shells, gemstones, 

and other found objects. The results are often unexpected and always 

interesting. 


Carla 

Caletti 

In my paintings, I explore the 

female form and the evolution of 

women expressing themselves 

in the world. Inspired by 

folk art, my figurative style 

is representational with an 

emphasis on bold color. My work 

is taking on more narrative in 

terms of juxtaposing the women 

figures with other elements 

that begin to tell a story. I like 

playing with scale and letting 

what is real on the canvas be an 

experiment. 


Rebecca Bazell 

I was born in Brighton, England, where I lived for 

6 months before moving to the US, eventually 

living in seven cities before the age of ten. These 

moves, though not necessarily in my conscious 

memory, are made vivid by my parent’s 

descriptions, photos, and historical descriptions 

of the early 1970s. The paintings I’m working on 

attempt to connect my memories of those times 

with what I’ve been able to find out since. 

I started these paintings in July, when I returned 

to San Francisco after living in NYC for the 

past 12 years. I was surprised to discover that 

while I was painting these memories, I was also 

responding to being back in California, and it 

made me question my own memories of place. 

Are memories just responses to the present? 

Rebecca Bazell holds a BA in Art from Hamilton 

College, studied art history in Florence, Italy 

and holds a degree in Painting from the New 

York Studio School. She teaches painting and 

drawing, and recently moved her studio from New 

York City to San Francisco’s Potrero Hill. 

She has shown in New York, Maine and Los 

Angeles, and has received numerous awards 

including: The Gamblin Paint Prize, Absolut 

Grant, NYSS Merit Award and a Milton Avery 

Fellowship.

Impossible Productions presents 

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN 

THE PLAY 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — It’s a comedy about making friends! This Halloween, crack the secrets of life everlasting with 

the greatest mad scientist story ever created! YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: the Play is Impossible Production’s larger than 

life tribute to Gene Wilder and Mel Brook’s zany and shocking masterpiece that will leave you in stitches. It’s all-live! 

Promising young neurosurgeon Fredrick Frankenstein (grandson to the notorious Doctor) inherits the ominous family 

castle. Scoffing its infamous past, he visits the estate and Fate delivers him into the hands of Inga his beautiful new 

assistant, Igor the outlandish hunchback, and Frau Blücher the enigmatic heinermacherfrau—all keys to his mysterious 

legacy. 

With the discovery of the castle’s secret lab and library, temptation proves too much and Freddy becomes obsessed with 

continuing his Grandfather’s work—to reanimate a human cadaver—and turn a grave mistake into the acme of scientific 

achievement! 

But a corpse is a corpse, of course, of course, and the local burgomaster, history fresh in his mind, rallies the villagers into 

a riotous mob hell-bent on hunting down Frankenstein’s Monster. And to complicate the grey matter the Creature kidnaps 

Elizabeth, Freddy’s estranged fiancé. It comes down to his daring genius to save his creation at the risk of his own life— 

will the Monster escape? Or will he meet his maker? 

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: the Play runs Fridays and Saturdays @ 8pm and Sundays @ 3pm, October 6-29, 2006. 

The Dark Room is at 2263 Mission Street, SF, between 18th and 19th. You can pick our brains at 415.401.7987, www.

The Outsider Chronicles 

Sean Dorsey / Fresh Meat Productions 

The Outsider Chronicles 

a dance theater journey into the world of the gender 

outsider 

Fresh Meat Productions presents a special return 

engagement of Sean Dorsey’s acclaimed evening-length 

dance theater cycle The Outsider Chronicles. These fullbodied, 

compelling dances dive headfirst into the world 

of the ‘gender outsider’ - revealing aspects of coming out 

and living as transgender. 

With his signature fusion of modern dance, theater and 

storytelling, Dorsey puts a genderbent twist on foiled 

first love, lovers’ spats, coming out (or not) to family, 

road trips, “til death do us part” and the joys of therapy. 

Performed by Sean Dorsey (winner of a 2006 Isadora 

Duncan Dance Award), Courtney Moreno and Sonia 

Reiter. 

TICKETS: $15 

Reservations are encouraged: these special return 

engagement shows will sell out quickly. 


Orbit 

(notes from the 

edge of forever) 

July 13-August 5 2006 

Review by: Lani Asher 

Orbit (notes from the edge of forever) 

is the latest production from the Erika 

Shuch Project (ESP), currently artistsin-residence 

at Intersection for the 

Arts. She combines dance, theater, 

and performance and takes you from 

the personal to the planetary. The 

director wonders about our place 

in the universe and asks if there is 

anybody else out there. 

The stage is set with moveable stacks 

of televisions, books, and lamps on 

poles that can slide back and forth 

across the stage. As the performance 

begins the television sets are tuned 

to scenes from old sci-fi films such as 

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, 

Alien, and Contact. The performers— 

three protagonists, a Puck-like 

trickster, and a pair of lovers—move 

engagingly about on the stage, which 

is painted with planetary orbit lines. In 

addition, there is a chorus of dancers 

who wear gloves on their hands and 

dance barefoot; their costumes are 

reminiscent of uniforms. In some ways 

they function like the invisible actors in Japanese Noh or Bunraku performances that move props or puppets. 

The music for Orbit is a mélange of original music, popular songs, live Cabaret music, and the classic song “Blue Moon”, written by 

Richard Rogers and Lorenzo Hart in 1934. The lyrics presumably refer to an English idiomatic expression: if something happens 

“once in a blue moon” it almost never happens. The lyrics of the song relate a stroke of luck so unlikely that it must have taken place 

under a blue moon. The image of a “blue moon” –as it is used in Orbit-- conjures romance, mystery, and the unknown. 

The lovers in Orbit seem attracted and repulsed by planetary forces, their own emotions, 

and dreams. In one sequence one of the lovers dreams that he is a small puppet lost in a shipwreck, tossed by waves Finally, the 

dreamer is rescued by his lover who is costumed as a giant lighthouse. He survives. At the end of the sequence, the lovers converse 

about the seduction and abduction of memories that adversely affects our relationships. Old memories become a visible hole in the 

story of the two lovers, demonstrated by the filmed drilling of a hole in a book by mysterious gloved hands. In another scene, one of 

the lovers reaches disembodied hands behind the other. We see into a chest cavity on a video monitor and observe the molecular 

makeup of the heart. 

In the program notes Erika Shuch gives us three clues about ”the search”. The first clue is that when she was a girl her father looked 

for alien life forms and sent signals out to various parts of the universe. In particular, he sent signals to exo-planets (any planet orbiting 

a star that is outside our solar system). In her dad’s words, an old military man, trying to see a planet orbiting a star is a little like trying 

to see a firefly perched on the rim of a search light. The second clue is that once we send a signal into space we cannot take it back. 

It keeps going until it finds something to bounce off or be absorbed by. The third clue is that fact that she sent herself a self addressed 

postcard attached to a balloon with a request to please return it to her. The postcard never arrived. 

The performance is dreamlike, poetic, visual, and auditory, constantly orbiting around itself much like the central image of constantly 

orbiting planets. Erika Shuch and the ESP project send out their message and hope the audience will receive it to bounce it back 

to them. The nature of art is similar to this search for other life forms, and the search for love and meaning. It’s nice if sometimes it 

bounces back.
