The Magnes
META/DATA: Art, Technology and (Queer) Identity
Presentations and panel discussion with artists: E.G. Crichton, Rudy Lemcke, Nomi Talisman.
Introductions: Tina Takemoto (CCA) and Alla Efimova (Judah L. Magnes Museum).
Panel moderator: Tirza True Latimer (CCA)
Metadata is a term used primarily in the field of digital infor...mation management and refers to the structure of an organization's use of information. Metadata reveals (and conceals) the ways in which institutions make knowledge available to the public. Three Bay Area artists will discuss their recent projects at the intersection of institutional politics of information and the construction of queer identity. E.G. Crichton, Rudy Lemcke and Nomi Talisman have worked with a variety of institutional archives and historical materials to open unexplored, left behind, invisible knowledge. Digital technology, like queer identity, is opened and queried in their work.
Co-sponsored by The Graduate Program in Visual & Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts, The Judah L. Magnes Museum, Queer Conversations in Culture and the Arts, and The Queer Cultural Center.

Presented in honor of Seymour Fromer, the Judah L. Magnes Museum, Lehrhaus Judaica and Jazz Heritage Center are pleased to host an evening reading and reception with Fred Rosenbaum, author of the forthcoming Cosmopolitans: A Social History of the Jews of the ...San Francisco Bay Area (UCPress, November 2009).
The event, part of the Jews of the Fillmore exhibit, will be held Wednesday evening October 14, 2009 at seven o'clock at the Jazz Heritage Center (1320 Fillmore Street).
Rosenbaum will discuss the Fillmore of the early1900s, San Francisco 's largest and most vibrant Jewish neighborhood.
