Bakula & Madeleine Tonzi : Other Places

October 4, 2019 By Mike Sarcona

Classic Cars West presents Other Places, a two person exhibition featuring the work of Oakland-based artists Bakula and Madeleine Tonzi. Other Places explores concepts of place and the boundaries within.

Through an imaginative geographic visual language, the paintings of the two join in a dialogue of what it means to carry our past into the future, expressing a sense of nostalgia, euphoria, wonderment, and inquiry for the environments we traverse.

Collaboratively, their paintings conjure an uncanny essence, something otherworldly yet strangely familiar.

 

First Friday Openings Sept 6, 6-10PM

and October 4, 6-10PM

Golgatha – Dani Robison Opening

July 6, 2019 By Mike Sarcona

Golgatha
Dani Robison
July 6-27, 2019
Opening Reception July 6th, 6-10PM featuring surreal harpist Sabine Silver, Infinite Neck & DJ Aria

Golgatha is a presentation of three works examining dysphoria and mental illness: Golgatha, Glass Body II, and Firmament. Innovative stained glass techniques are centralized and used to twist Judeo-Christian framings of sublimity, martyrdom, and suffering. Attempts are made to heal from repeated experiences of spiritual abuse and rejection. Smashed liquor bottles, saliva, underwear, shredded plastic, pins, needles, assorted detritus of personal historical significance assist in the process. What does it mean when I feel the urge to sacrifice/extinguish myself? How would I even begin to locate my extant parts?

About the Artist: Dani Robison has been doing unusual things with stained glass for the past eight years. In 2010 she earned degrees in printmaking and music from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN. She recently released her third compositional suite with the ensemble Sapphire Lung titled Chamber Slime, and curated an original speculative holiday: Diluvianalia. Robison has disseminated over one thousand fine talismans across the globe as part of an everlasting project titled Disseminating Talismans Forever.

By working closely with prison abolitionist and queer advocacy organizations, we aim to keep queer prisoners connected to outside community and help them in the fight toward liberation. The profits we generate go back to incarcerated artists, especially those with little to no resources. Using the DIY ideology of "punk-zine" culture, ABO was formed with the philosophy of mutual support, community and friendship.

What strikes me most about Anthony’s food is the level of intentionality behind it. The masa is fresh-milled, the pupusas are stuffed and formed when you order, and everything is cooked to perfection over a bustling, smokey fire. Eating at Popoca, it’s evident that Anthony doesn’t just cook you a meal, but makes you an offering of heritage.The dishes are recreations of street food Anthony eats when in El Salvador, but with local Bay Area flavor. Every single item is made from scratch. The dishware is reminiscent of the plates and bowls he remembers from his grandparents’ house (Anthony hunted for suitable replicas in The Mission). The oil used to flavor the food is slow cooked over the fire in a pot filled with cloves of garlic. The produce is locally-sourced, the herbs come from the garden. No detail is overlooked.You can’t help but get the feeling that Popoca, meaning ‘to emit smoke’, is what Anthony’s culinary career has been building up to. After years in fine dining at restaurants including Saison, Commonwealth, Quattro, and Michel, Anthony was ready to take full ownership of his food and introduce the Bay Area to the El Salvadoran cuisine that he loves.
Keep up with Anthony at @popoca.oakland and catch his pop-up at @classiccarswestbeergarden. Stay tuned to find Anthony working on new dishes like Salvadoran Blood Sausage, Ceviche, and other foods inspired by local Bay Area produce.
