Editors


Fig.1. Kathleen Quillian

Kathleen Quillian received her MFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2003. Her artistic career has been relatively active over the past year for which she is very proud. She does not, however, have as much time to read as she used to. She has made important trips this year to Mexico City, Dublin, Yosemite and Modesto and anticipates trips to Washington DC and possibly Atlanta GA over the next several months. She spends business hours working as the Editorial/Communications/Marketing/Fundraising/Web Assistant for Leonardo (journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology) and the rest of her time coordinating the ATA Gallery, editing the ATA zine and paying attention to way too much political commentary on the radio. She had two piņatas this year for her 30th birthday party. [email protected]


Fig.2. Gilbert Guerrero

Gilbert Guerrero is originally from San Jose, California. Whatever ties he felt he made to New York while living there are now dwindling--even though at one point he showed an experimental double projection looped Super 8 film piece in Brooklyn. In June he showed work with Kathleen Quillian in Dublin, Ireland and tried to drink lots of beer. He also managed to avoid being served Black Pudding as a vegetarian option for breakfast. Most recently, he and Kathleen showed work in the Element of Temporary 5 at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. AND this November his and Kathleen's work will be in an upcoming show called This Way Please! at Pond Gallery! Gilbert began volunteering at ATA in 1998. He is currently their webmaster. The ATA webzine is a project which he hopes will get all kinds of important people to make themselves a part of ATA even in this extended way and foster a new form of creative work coming out of ATA.

He has performed with such diverse theater artists as Robert Wilson, Bread and Puppet Theatre, Killing My Lobster, and most recently, Theatre de la Jeune Lune.

Fig.4. George Chen

George Chen is older than the hills, given that the hills were created in 1974. He started zine in 1990 with his sister Yvonne in their home town of San Jose and began the Zum Audio recording label in 1999. He has mostly spent the last decade in music, either performing (7 Year Rabbit Cycle, Megaweapon, Boxleitner) or promoting. This Oakland resident has been a freelance writer for such varied publications as the SF Bay Guardian, Wire, Tokion, Pop and Politics, and The Stranger. [email protected].


Fig.6. Kent Howie

R.K. (Kent) Howie has been a volunteer with ATA since 1997. He received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in Photography in 1988. He's been really interested lately in exploring Gerhard Richter's statement: "I don't mistrust reality, of which I know next to nothing. I mistrust the picture of reality conveyed to us by our senses, which is imperfect and circumscribed." Since everyone thinks they're Artists today Kent prefers to explore the notion of anonymity. Recently, Kent facilitated the representation of Artists' Television Access in the Jochen Gerz Anthology of Art (http://www.anthology-of-art.net) and is represented by the Matzo Flat File Gallery, New York. Kent likes collaborating with all kinds of groups, individuals and collectives and has helped facilitate over 150 exhibitions, screenings and performances. Kent is forever haunted in his dreams by falling snow and hoarfrost and endless treks across icy lakes tracked by wolverines. He makes snapshots, draws, writes, produces the ATA weekly television show and is incredibly happy to be alive. [email protected].


Fig.7. Chicken John

Chicken John is an arts facilitator and booking agent living in SF. His many achievements include doing ALL the laundry and owning/parking 23 cars a day for 3 years in the Mission. He enjoys reading long Toaist texts, toil and new wave. In his spare time he smokes pot, watches TV and writes boring bios about himself. [email protected].


Fig.8. Kim Miskowicz

Kim Miskowicz received her BFA in 1995 in Painting from that University of New Mexico. She moved to the Bay Area in 1996 and has been collecting landscape photographs ever since Muni electrical lines forced a lengthy bout of nostalgia for seeing skies without interruptions. Her paintings and films are inspired by the act of looking through hundreds of landscape photographs. Most recently her work has shown at the San Francisco Arts Commission, San Francisco Cinematheque and Artists' Television Access. [email protected].


Fig.9. Sarah Lockhart

Proud ATA alumna, Sarah Lockhart is a media artist and curator who was born and raised in the Bay Area. She is a co-founder and Programming Director of 21 Grand, an Oakland arts and performance non-profit, where she curates events such as the Sight and Sound Series (of intermedia performance), Duck and Cover (experimental performances of popular songs), and an annual video festival. Lockhart's first curatorial efforts took place at ATA: an exhibition, "Wearable Art: In Extremis" in 1998 (co-curated by Molly Hankwitz) and "Twinkie Defense Mechanisms," an evening of videos, films, and live performances concerning consumer culture and absurdism, in January of 1999. Sarah Lockhart has an MA from San Francisco State in Radio and Television (2004), and a BA in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University (1996). She used to produce neo-colonialist commercial radio programs, but that's something she hopes she has since atoned for and only prefers to talk about when inebriated. [email protected].
