PRESIDENT’S LETTER

MARCH

Our imaginations can be sparked by many things; a walk in nature, a stimulating conversation, a sleek automobile sparkling in the sunshine, a fine piece of artwork. Design is EVERYWHERE! It is not merely buildings and the city

fabric that get our gears turning as architects.

This issue of Tracings is dedicated to Art + Architecture and I would like to take a quick glimpse into what inspires us to

design.

MusicA stroll through the design studio may reveal a handful of architects or designers with headphones on, moving their head in rhythm to enchanting beats that set their minds free to explore and go places that nobody else in the room realizes. Last year, I flew on Virgin America Airlines to Washington DC for the National

AIA Grassroots Conference, a five hour flight from SFO. I busted out my journal to sketch a few ideas I had for some furniture designs and light fixtures and tuned into the incredible blues music library that Virgin America offers. I was completely transported to another place! The hours passed by in seconds and ideas were pouring out of my pen onto the pages of my journal. It was almost like “Time Travel” - how I got to DC in minutes instead of hours. Music was the vehicle I flew on.

ArtThe first time I saw the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in Rome I was somewhat inspired by the images, the design and the message from Michelangelo to the viewer. A few years later, I returned to the same room after the restoration and cleaning of the ceiling was completed. WOW!!! A fully and completely different experience! This time I was awestruck by the colors and depth of images and couldn’t believe it was the same piece of art I’d seen only a few years

SAN JOSE MUSEUM OF ART

MissionThe San Jose Museum of Art reflects the diverse cultures and innovative spirit of Silicon Valley. Through its exhibitions, programs, scholarship, and collections, SJMA connects the present and the past, the art of the West Coast and the world. The Museum fosters awareness of artists’ broad contributions to society and engages audiences with the art of our time and the vitality of the creative process.

VisionThe San Jose Museum of Art will be the preeminent modern and contemporary art museum in Silicon Valley. SJMA will enrich its communities through inviting, innovative programs and creative, interactive experiences. It will provide dynamic learning opportunities for adults as well as vital educational services for youths and families, to encourage inquiry and visual thinking. As a consequence, SJMA will be recognized internationally for high-quality programs, fresh collaborative endeavors, a distinctive permanent collection, and adventurous approaches. The Museum will connect art and life; work across cultural boundaries; and promote deeper awareness, enjoyment, and knowledge of modern and contemporary art, architecture, and design. SJMA will be a cultural hub for the residents of the region, a space for personal reflection, a gathering place for creative thinkers, and a source of vibrancy for the city center.

Traditional versus cutting-edge, high-brow versus low-brow: A new generation of Mexican and Mexican-American artists is fascinated by these potentially contradictory concepts. In the new exhibition Mexicanisimo Through Artists’ Eyes, the San Jose Museum of Art presents works by artists who draw inspiration from Mexico’s deep well of visual culture. Their references include folk art, popular culture, and vernacular craft traditions as well as contemporary idioms: the art collective “La Malagua” has remade the classic Mexican card game lotería, while Gabriel Kuri re-created sales receipts from Superama (Walmart) as a fine Gobelins tapestry. 

This exhibition includes works by artists who enlist traditional, refined artisan’s

techniques (such as weaving and ceramics) to challenge today’s mass-market consumer culture, alongside the work of artists who transform the most expendable materials into art through their handiwork. For example, Mexico City-based artist Betsabeé Romero carves tires with pre-Columbian icons and symbols in order to satirize Mexico’s machismo car culture. 

Although these artists refer to familiar imagery (sometimes even stereotypes), they bring it into the present without cynicism. They share an interest in hybrid art forms and in the intersection of the past and the present. Although inspired by today’s pop culture icons, they are also critical of mass production and its effect on Mexican communities.

SJMA has commissioned new works from Natalia Anciso (Oakland, CA) and Romero for this exhibition, which also includes works by Margarita Cabrera (El Paso, TX), Enrique Chagoya (San Francisco), Colectivo “La Malagua” (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico), Jamex and Einar de la Torre (San Diego, CA, and Ensenada, Mexico), Franco Mondini-Ruiz (San Antonio, TX) and Gabriel Kuri (Mexico City).

Mexicanisimo Through Artists Eyes is on view March 30 through September 23, 2012. The San Jose Museum of Art is located at 110 South Market Street in downtown San Jose. The Museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM to 5 PM (to 8 PM on the third Thursday of the month). For more information, and a calendar of public programs, visit www.sanjosemuseumofart.org.

ART + ARCHITECTURE

MARCH

Being an artist has always been part of the fabric of my being. Architecture had always supported that creative drive. However, I wondered if I could become a successful visual artist. So when the Recession diminished my architectural workload, I decided that the time had come to take the leap and release my watercolor paintings from the portfolios shoved and forgotten at the bottom drawer of my flat file. I also painted new paintings and entered them into competitions, juried shows, museum exhibits and galleries. It wasn’t long before I sold my first painting and won a few awards.

I’m enjoying my new double identity of architect and artist. I currently have several exhibits upcoming and I invite you to attend.

ARTIST TO ARCHITECTJudith Wasserman, AIA

In a kind of reverse action to Jennifer Kretchmer’s story, I was a studio artist before I became an architect. I had very little formal training, but I did have some good printmaking classes at Foothill College and eventually was accepted into Gallery House, an artists’ cooperative gallery in Palo Alto. My work was mostly figurative and did not sell very well.

As a result of a home remodeling project in 1979, I discovered an affinity for architecture – actually, I was a construction junkie. After a year or so of soul-searching and deliberating with my family, I found myself accepted to the three-year master’s program at Berkeley, got my degree and my license, and never looked back.

After years of wondering if I really was an artist, I am now convinced I really am an architect. And I completely agree with Jennifer and Jeff – the arts feed each other.

ART + ARCHITECTURE

MARCH

It all started in 2009, when I attended an art function where the artists helped people learn to weld.   I picked up some pieces she had and we put them together.  That did it and I was on my way to becoming an architect by day and a sculptor by night.

My wife Daryl allowed me to build a small studio in our yard (upper left photo) and away I went.  I go to a

local welding shop and they let me dumpster dive for free as long as I email them what I'm making.

I also go to the local dump, where they let me enter dumpsters and take what I want - they only charge me one dollar for whatever I take take out no matter the amount.

earlier. No way was this painted over 500 years ago upside down on scaffolding with paint dripping in the eyes of the artist. It was too cool to possibly be that ancient. But this piece of art gripped me and gave me hope that beautiful things can last beyond generations of lives.

Product DesignAs Apple continues to expand its market share in the world of computers, music, communications and life, I cannot help commenting on their influence in design. I’ve just finished reading the biography

of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson and have been impressed with the unrelenting drive to keep products simple, clean and relevant. Early on in the existence of the company they began to adhere to the philosophy of Leonardo da Vinci that “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” This simple elegance has become a hallmark of the company and a reason that so many believe in their products across the boundaries of geography and culture. From quick boot-up time to start-up their devices, to the intuitive way that applications are developed and function, to the packaging of product: Apple just “gets it” to a degree that few other companies do. The design inspiration that we can receive from products is powerful and influential. Another local company, Tesla, is turning heads with their Model S

and Model X electric vehicle designs that will be manufactured in Fremont. Google Earth has brought the world to our monitors with their aerial and streetview images.

Bloom Energy has expanded the amount of electric power we can generate with their fuel cell. All of these product designs inspire us to reach higher and go for more in our own work.

NatureThis can be the ultimate inspiration: The Natural World! So unexpected and spontaneous we can bump into nature and be instantly changed. A dramatic sunrise that welcomes a new day, the silhouette of rugged mountains against velvet sky, a tree blossoming with colors so intense that your eyes cannot believe it, the body and patterns of a giraffe that baffle the imagination and make you think that Dr. Seuss really wasn’t that far out there… All of these things can grip your heart and stir your passion to dream and to create. On New Year’s morning this year, my family was on the Big Island of Hawaii where we went for a hike down the ocean bluff at the Polulu Valley on the North Kohala Coast. The earth-pounding crash of waves on this rocky beach was almost from another world. Big volcanic boulders of various size, shape and color forced visitors to stack rocks and create monuments. It was an invigorating

exercise, both physically and creatively to kick off a new year.

As you can see, this topic sparks a lot of emotion and many memories. The list goes on to movies and video games and the unique world they transport us to, culinary arts and how food or drink provides the perfect backdrop for the ideal conversation about the meaning of life. Art and design are everywhere if we’re prepared to see it and learn from it. I want to encourage every one of us to be more curious again, like a child, and tune in to the amazing palette of inspiration that our world has to offer.
