Kings and queens of the heap

One man's trash is another man's treasure. At least, that's what we've been told — few of us turn the expression into any sort of tangible good. That is, unless you are Recology San Francisco, the first garbage company in the country to literally turn trash into treasure. In its art studio at the Recology Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Center by Candlestick Park, Recology provides work space and, of course, access to scrapped goods through its Artist in Residence program. And with over 100 successful iterations since 1990, it's safe to say this dump might be one of the most beautiful art venues in the city. In Recology's most recent AIR group, local artists Kara Maria, Imin Yeh, and Matthew Goldberg are exhibiting their new pieces, turning found materials into striking original art pieces.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
