<div style="font-family: Verdana;">
For Immediate Release</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana;">
November 2014: Sam Francis Foundation launches signature community program, Creativity Matters, with four roundtables across America.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In collaboration with researchers from the Harvard School of Education’s, Project Zero, the Los Angeles based artist foundation will tackle the subject of, “<b><a href="http://www.samfrancisfoundation.org/creativity-matters.html" target="_blank">Creativity in Learning</a></b>” at the following four locations: <a href="http://www.gardnermuseum.org/home" target="_blank">The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum</a> in Boston on October 29th, <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/" target="_blank">The Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> in New York City on October 31st, <a href="http://www.lacma.org/" target="_blank">The Los Angeles County Museum of Art</a> on November 7th and finally, <a href="http://www.exploratorium.edu/" target="_blank">The Exploratorium</a> in San Francisco on November 17th. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After months of intensive research exploring work being done by organizations and individuals on this topic, we are bringing together a robust network of researchers, thinkers and practitioners, to discuss the complex issues related to learning in the 21st century. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The roundtable conversations will focus on 3 questions: </div>
<div>
- What does creativity look like, today and tomorrow? </div>
<div>
- Under what conditions does creativity thrive?<br />
- How do we nurture and support it? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From this series of discussions, the Sam Francis Foundation hopes to come away with a shared point of view about the challenges and opportunities inherent in the notion of bringing, “Creativity in Learning” to the forefront of our educational practice. Our goal is to understand where we can help and how we can make a difference. </div>
<div>
Join the conversation by following along on Twitter (<b><a href="https://twitter.com/CrtvtyMttrs" target="_blank">@crtvtymttrs</a></b>), Facebook (<b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreativityMatters14" target="_blank">@Creativity Matters</a></b>) and Instagram (<b><a href="http://instagram.com/creativitymatters14" target="_blank">@Creativitymatters14</a></b>). The roundtables will be live-tweeted and followers are encouraged to participate by posting with the following hashtags: <b>#SFF4Creativity </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As President Obama stated in his September, 2014 Presidential Proclamation, “To meet the challenges ahead, we must harness the skills and ingenuity of our children and grandchildren and instill in them the same passion and persistence that has driven centuries of progress and innovation. The arts and humanities provide important opportunities for our young people to unleash their creativity and reach for new heights.” </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On Saturday October 18, over 50 UNIQLO staff members joined FreeArts NYC to welcome 40 children from homeless shelters in Brooklyn and Queens, for a special event. The children made t-shirts based on the work of American abstract artist Sam Francis <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/us/search.html?q=sam+francis" target="_blank">whose merchandise was launched in stores earlier this month. </a>After going on a tour of the 5th Ave UNIQLO Store, the children learned about Sam Francis from Leah Wolff, a program educator from MoMA. The children were also encouraged to talk about their feelings about art in general. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The children, who were recommended by the NY Department of Homeless Services, were from 6 to 12 years old, and came from the Boulevard Family Center in Queens and Urban Transitional Center in Brooklyn. These children don’t have the opportunity or means in their everyday settings to be able to express themselves through art. Giving them the opportunity to do so, was extremely meaningful for the children, as many of the children described the event as, “the best day…” and told us that their dream was to be a fashion designer or artist. <a href="http://www.freeartsnyc.org/" target="_blank">FreeArts NYC</a>, made the event possible by providing all of the supplies and additional support for the event. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Before the children made their t shirts, they drew and painted their ideas on sheets of paper that they were able to take home. In addition, Sam Francis postcards and journals were graciously donated from the Sam Francis Foundation and given to the children as a souvenir. </span></div>

PARIS is pleased to announce the international group exhibition <i>Mixed
Up! </i>curated by artist Shingo Francis, featuring works by Taiyo Kimura ,
Bodo Korsig and Kaori Tazoe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">Mixed Up!
</span></i><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">comments on the
individual, existential aspect of art making versus the shared exchange of
knowledge and ideas found in the art community. No matter how removed one tries
to become, the history and personal contact an artist is exposed to perhaps
informs the work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">As a
satellite project of the 5th edition of the Yokohama Triennale, the
international contemporary art exhibition held every three years, this special
group exhibition examines the subject of space, resonating with the historical
attributes which Yokohama and the Mitsui Bussan building, where GALERIE
PARIS is located, has to offer. An artist panel discussion is scheduled for the
public. In this exhibition we bring together four artists working in
three <o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">separate continents and who have developed their own individual studio practices. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">The concept of
a group exhibition challenges the idea of a "group", something deemed
to have a coherence and inherent relationship. Besides identifying themselves
as artists, we pose the question of what these artists have in common? How
their artistic practice relate as contemporary artists and peers? <i>Mixed Up! </i>explores
this question of bringing together a group of artist under one theme and in
this case, a single space. History has repeated this concept of a group show
starting from the days of the Salon in 17th century Europe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">The question
we would like the viewer to ask himself is: is this a successful model for
presenting an artist's work? Does the reality of being an artist and being
exposed to history and a broader art world create a cohesiveness that is interesting
or helpful to the artist's practice? What relations de we see in their
practice? Is a group show a means to a economic and practical ends given
how many artists there are relative to opportunities for exposure? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">Or can a
group show be as cohesive as a singular exhibition by one artist?
Ultimately, what is the true value of a group show? I argue that I wanted
to exhibit along side my peers to mix the results of our studio practice under
one banner and theme. Allowing the random selection of work each artist
brings to the exhibition determine the answers to the questions previously
posed in this essay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #3b3b3b; font-family: Arial;">Let's mix it
up and see! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i style="background-color: white;">Collective and Individual Works</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">May 23 - August 9th</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Young Projects is very proud to present a rare glimpse into the work of one of LA's first visual art collectives working in moving imagery, the Single Wing Turquoise Bird</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Formed in 1968, ‘the Bird’ began life as a “light show,” performing and creating live, improvisational, decidedly maximal visuals for groups such as Cream, Traffic, the Who, the Velvet Underground, the Grateful Dead and many more. At the same time, often at the behest of painter Sam Francis, they performed at museums, galleries and loft spaces alike, where musical tracks by LaMonte Young, Terry Reily, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and others provided the score. Today these performative films can now be seen as crucial benchmarks in the evolution of Expanded Cinema, which itself became instrumental in changing the way we think of cinema, the role of the apparatus, and what would later become video art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the group disbanded 1973, five original members (Larry Janss, David Lebrun, Peter Mays, Jeff Perkins and Michael Scroggins) and two new members (Amy Halpern and Shayne Hood) came together in 2010 to explore a new, wider range of ideas. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It behooves artists to be at the right place at the right time, ensconced with the right curators, critics, gallerists, and collectors.Those who miss their era's dominant milieu are apt to be ignored or demonized in life and perpetuity. This cold fact was underlined for me recently when I visited "Sam Francis:Five Decades of Abstract Expressionism from California Collections" at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. The show originated last August at the Pasadena Museum of California Art, then traveled to the Crocker, where it closes April 20. And while co-curators Debra Burchett-Lere and Peter Selz have invigoratingly showcased Francis' gifts for brilliant color and evocative negative space, they have also had to acknowledge that the painter was never well-regarded in New York critical circles."</span><br />

The Sam Francis Foundation now has a new office and work space in Old Town, Pasadena. There is still work to be done -- including some wiring and filing systems -- but the office is up and running. </div>

Here is what Debra Burchett-Lere has to say about the space:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It has a loft feeling -- high ceilings, with lots of windows, original doors and windows with leaded glass (from 1929), hardwood floors, like a little French studio Sam might have had in Paris in the 1950s. The building is called <i>The Fish Building</i> and it is actually from late 1800s, but was redone in 1929 so has a deco feeling."</blockquote>

<em>Leslie Sacks Contemporary is pleased to announce the exhibition <strong>Sam Francis: Works on Paper and Editions 1957-1994.</strong> This exhibition surveys from 1957-1994 the renowned West Coast Abstract Expressionist's prolific legacy. In keeping with Sam Francis' career-long exploration and interest in printmaking and paper, featured works will include watercolor and gouache works on paper, monotype and etching, aquatint and lithographic editions.</em><br /> </div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 9pt;">
<em>This exhibition presents classic examples of Sam Francis' work spanning five decades. It includes a superb watercolor and gouache on paper from 1957 and a rich Edge series watercolor and gouache on paper from 1968. Early lithographs from 1964 will be on view alongside some of the artist's finest prints: etching- aquatints in very small editions from the 1980s and 1990s.</em><br /> </div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 9pt;">
<em>Dripping, corpuscular shapes painted with rich color in a fluid style are the iconic elements of Sam Francis' work, reflecting both a concern with the ceaseless instability of the world (as frequently noted in Buddhist thought), and a lifelong fascination with microbiology. Despite the apparent spontaneity of his compositions, Francis was highly methodical. In the mid 1960s he pushed all forms to the edges of his compositions (Edge paintings), leaving large empty spaces in the center in accordance with the contemplative Japanese notion of negative space. The angular geometry of the Edge series expanded in the 1970s as he returned to "all over" composition through the use of grid like forms. In 1980 Francis established the Santa Monica Litho Shop. His focus then shifted almost completely to printmaking, where he created exquisite and delicate etching-aquatints, bold lithographs, and deeply textured monotypes. During the eighties and until his death in 1994, Francis reverted to a fundamentally abstract expressionist style much like that of his mid to late 1950s work, but with an even stronger palette. Though, with his lifelong emphasis on vibrant color, Francis had very divergent concerns from the frequently dark energy of many of the abstract expressionists.</em><br /> </div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 9pt;">
<em>In 1952 at 29 years of age, Sam Francis was given his first solo show in Paris, France. The American painter and printmaker was further acknowledged as one of the leaders of modern American painting by his inclusion in the landmark exhibition "12 Americans" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This same year Time magazine pronounced him "the hottest American painter in Paris." A native and longtime resident of California, Francis was also a citizen of the world, residing and maintaining studios for long stretches in Europe and Japan. Through his travels in Japan, Francis garnered a deeper understanding of light and air, championing compositions with open, white spaces bound by bold, expressive color. In the early 1960s, Francis returned to California, and over the next 30 years he worked in studios in Santa Barbara, Palo Alto, Venice and Santa Monica. During this time Francis was influenced by the California School, mysticism and Eastern philosophy.</em></div>

</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 9pt;">
<em>Sam Francis is considered a leading painter of light and color, straddling a bridge between Abstract Expressionism and what Clement Greenberg called "Post-Painterly Abstraction". The second-generation abstract expressionist's oeuvre references a myriad of influences such as the New York School's abstract expressionism (in particular Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still), Japanese landscape paintings, French impressionism and even his roots with the Bay Area figurative school. The work of Sam Francis is held in the permanent collection of every encyclopedic modern art museum in the world.</em><br /> </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;">Smith Andersen North is pleased to present the art of Shingo Francis and Bryan Ida. Francis and Ida paint abstract shape, line, and color to create geographies based on memory and our feeling of place. Memories disappear, reappear, and blend, leaving emotional traces of environment, time, and personal history. Between specific memories we free-associate and drift, creating new landscapes from those we have already experienced. This is the world of Placing Memory. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"> Shingo Francis focuses on the natural environment and its relationship to emotional and psychological states of being, including the experience of memory. Francis frequently explores the relationship between the solitude of a natural setting, such as the ocean, and the inner silence of meditation. His most recent work is based on references to the horizon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"> Bryan Ida is inspired by Southern California, whose freeways, buildings, waterways, natural beauty, and even filth resonate in his memories. As he pushes to find essential visual elements, distant ocean and desert become horizons, providing locations into which foreground forms emerge and find their places. Just as the environment that inspires him diminishes and decays, so do his memories, transforming remembered landscapes into the refined abstractions that populate his work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;"> Francis and Ida were introduced to art in the studios of the abstract expressionist painter Sam Francis, Shingo's father. Their strong childhood friendship continued into adulthood, and between 1996 and 2000, Francis, Ida, and Felicia Page ran The Hatch Art Space in Los Angeles. Francis relocated to Japan in 2001, which ended the project. Nevertheless, their lives continue to interweave, thanks to strong early ties. </span><br />

Beauty, when talking about contemporary art, is sometimes considered a dirty word. But no other term will suffice for Sam Francis’ paintings now on view at the <a class=" lingo_link lingo_link_hidden" href="http://topics.sacbee.com/Crocker+Art+Museum/" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: black; cursor: pointer; display: inline; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Crocker Art Museum.</a> When you walk into the show, the breathtaking canvases make you feel like you are floating somewhere in the sky, looking up at clouds, looking down on tree tops and fields. An intense blue – radiant, saturated – and bright whites run through the exhibit, taking you into realms of pure delight.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>JANUARY 26 – APRIL 20, 2014</b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">This exhibition celebrates the work of internationally acclaimed California native Sam Francis (1923–94), one of Abstract Expressionism's top practitioners and California's most accomplished artists. Featuring a colorful range of the artist's paintings and unique works on paper, this survey highlights different periods of the artist's work as represented in extraordinary public and private California collections. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">The exhibition includes early paintings the artist made during his time in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1940s, but is primarily dedicated to the influential and expansive body of work that the artist created between the 1950s and the 1990s. Represented are works made in the artist's California studios in Palo Alto, Point Reyes, Santa Monica, and Venice, as well as those made when Francis was living in New York, Bern, Paris, and Tokyo. The exhibition is organized by the <a href="http://www.samfrancisfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Sam Francis Foundation </a>in collaboration with the Crocker Art Museum and the Pasadena Museum of California Art.</span></div>
