The CELLspace Milonga

WEEKLY

Every Wednesday night 9-12pm
8-9pm Beginners & Intermediate Class

$10 Class & Milonga; $5 Milonga only

The Cellspace alternative Milonga is an effort to balance out the  
wonderful classic tango events throughout SF and the Bay Area with a  
progressive community endeavor. Checkout the Project Tango DJ Resource  
page for more info on alternative dj'ing & music! We are developing a  
pool of alternative DJ's that are featured on a regular basis,  
including a DJ Duel usually held on the 4th Weds. of each month. From  
time to time we also put on special theme nights and have performances  
of various art forms (not just tango)!

This is a "politically neutral" tango event with all attempts directed  
towards minimal interruptions & maximum dance time during the evening.  
A flyer table is provided for all folks to advertise their classes &  
events, however, detailed verbal announcements will not be made. After  
a performance, a brief verbal announcement is permitted to promote a  
relavent class or event pertaining to the performers.

"Bonus Map"
Opens May 1, with a Reception to Follow on May 8

A new installation by Veronica Graham is to be housed in the CELLspace  
Crucible Steel Gallery at 2050 Bryant Street (between 18th and 19th)  
from May 1 through May 25. A reception will be held on May 8 at 8pm,  
during which the artist will be on hand to answer questions and to  
bask in the reassuring evidence of her labors. Several musical acts  
will also help enliven the mood.

The planned work involves a laborious tiling process requiring the  
production of over 2000 hand printed cloth swatches. Each one of these  
will be painstakingly arranged within the framework of a room- 
encompassing landscape mosaic. The tiles will be on sale for 1$ each.

"Bonus Map" is grounded in an appreciation of golden era video game  
pattern mapping, though many additional influences are readily  
apparent. Japanese woodblock prints strongly inform the graphical  
style of the work and set a precedent for the environmental subject  
matter. Ms. Graham also pays a lot of attention to Exploration Age  
cartography, particularly the fictional embellishments often found  
flattened against the dark geography of unknown territories,  
intriguingly not to scale.

  About Veronica Graham

Born and raised in the Bay Area, she now resides in San Francisco.  
"Bonus Map" is a continuation and refinement of two of Ms. Graham's  
previous projects: an installation entitled 6000 Pins, completed in  
2006, and a book of woodblock stamps she calls "The Map of Neighboring  
Territories".  Both of these can be viewed on her website: http://www.mutemanifold.com/
