66 South First St.: Defragmentation 66 by Michele Guieu
Defragmentation 66 is an adaptation of the last installation I’ve made in San Diego: Defragmentation: Rearranging Bits and Pieces of Memory. It is an ongoing project and the occasion to reflect on bits and pieces of my memories, as I am recalling/documenting them. The project originated when I was about to leave San Diego after living there for 6 years. I thought about the different times I’ve left a place in my life. Defragmentation 66 is the first installation I am showing in San Jose since I’ve moved and it represents a link between the two towns – and beyond. The installation is on a smaller scale but uses some essential elements featured in the first version of the show: an ensemble of paintings, a painted background and videos. The videos in Defragmentation 66 are new memories and were taken here, in the bay area. The address number where the show is held, 66, is an interesting symbol in my life: the first time I came to the US, that’s the road I travelled on.
Exhibit on view through August 30th. Visible 24/7 from the sidewalk.
95 South Market St.: Roundels sculptures by Gianfranco Paolozzi
"I was looking in the recycle container full of paper from flexo printing presses.
That’s when I felt the passion again: round surfaces screaming to be used. I looked at them changing on the floor of my studio. I had to use my marks, my moments on the surfaces as a sign of me being there.
That’s when the roundels were born." ~Gianfranco
Exhibit on view through August 30th. Visible 24/7 from the sidewalk.

Just wanted to share that I finally made it to a SubZero yesterday and had an excellent time. Just all around a well-executed, interesting, and unique street festival.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. It was excellent! They should do this more than once a year.
ReplyDeleteAll in all a great night (and the rain didn't start until midnight, perfect timing). My only regret is that so much was going on at the same time I didn't get to see all of the performances I wanted to!
ReplyDeleteNext year instead of SubZERO it will be a ZeroONE, which will last 2 full days and have some exhibits stay open for up to a month!
Glad you all made it out, thank you! SubZERO will return next year- it'll be the 5th Annual and held on First Friday June 1, 2012.
ReplyDeleteZeroOne is a different festival all together.
Peace!
That's even better news, both SubZERO and ZER01 next year!
