The fine art photography of Peter Tonningsen are eclectic collections from the local shorelines of our San Francisco Bay. Things that were discarded, left-behind or washed ashore become re-discovered and appreciated again. A rubber ducky, an old jar, an old label or a lost glove- all become poetic symbols of our culture. Arranged in hauntingly beautiful, specimen-like presentations against a black background sorted artfully by color or type. A fun, elegant and unique approach to re-cycling our memories and history.

Khon (Thai Mask Theatre) Workshop for International Artist, 2009
Arts on Location and the College of Dramatic Arts are to collaborate for a cultural programme, “Khon Thai Classical Mask Theatre Workshop for International Artists”.
Artists from all over the world are welcome to apply for this 3 week- intensive training programme led by the great and nationally renowned teachers of the College of Dramatic Arts.
Khon, Thai Classical Mask Theatre, is one of the most impressive traditional performing arts of Thailand that has survived till our days side by side with a variety of other traditional Eastern theatre practices such as Noh theatre, Beijing Opera and Kathakali drama. Eastern theatre traditions have inspired a variety of internationally renowned artists such as Peter Brook, Ariane Mnouchkine and Eugenio Barba to develop their own unique style and innovative theatrical vocabulary at an international level.
Learning Khon in Thailand will give the opportunity to the artists who will participate to explore this theatre practice in its own cultural context. This is suitable for artists who are equally interested in the practical aspect (the mask and movement techniques) and the anthropological aspect of this theatre tradition.

Isabel Samaras, will be in the house to sign her new book, “On Tender Hooks”. Isabel Samaras’s quirky, sexy, pop-surrealist art has had a cult following for years—and now at long last her first monograph is here. Drawing her influence from classic TV shows and paintings by the Old Masters—for example riffing on Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa by replacing the figures with characters from Gilligan’s Island—Samaras has created a witty, erotic, and surreal body of work.
