  • OpenScreening

    We are excited to announce we will be returning to live showings with a hybrid in-person and live-streamed Open Screening on Thursday, August 5th! 

    Open Screening is where we invite local filmmakers to show their short subject films (under 15 mins). It is a free event and you can either screen a film or just be a member of the audience. Either way it is FREE.

    If you have any submissions or questions, send them to volunteer@atasite.org. We strongly encourage you to submit ahead of time. If not, just see us before the show with your work.

    CA State Covid guidelines will be adhered to. Proof of vaccinations and masks are required.

    Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8, Free

  • Michelle Yi Martin

    Yi Martin lives in San Francisco, but actively draws on her Korean immigrant roots in her practice. She is a multi-disciplinary artist and self-taught weaver, who characterizes her work as a conversation between convention, art, utility, adornment, material, light, solidity, and space. Recently, Yi Martin received a grant by the Danish Arts Council to exhibit her monofilament sculptures in Aarhus, and she completed residencies at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Textilsetur, and the Space Program. Additionally, she has exhibited at The Textile Center in Iceland, Ovartaci in Denmark, Nationale in Portland, Roundweather in Oakland, and The Berkeley Art Center.

  • OC: GREEN + MORRISON + CRUZ +

    Per OC’s long-standing obsession with older film artifacts, here’s a program of sublime essays woven from those marvelous celluloid survivors: Sam Green sends in his very latest—in fact a NorCal premiere— Five Thoughts about Thirty Pieces, a matrix of memory and meanings stemming from John Cage’s engagement with our own Kronos Quartet.Bill Morrison debuts his jaw-dropping Buried News, a handful of 35mm newsreels found buried under the Yukon permafrost, retrieving reports of racial conflict from the 1917-1924 period that have been sidelined in the national historical consciousness. AND: Sylvia Schedelbauer’s Memories, Craig Baldwin’s Time Bomb, Linda Scobie, Ellie Vanderlip, and local light Michael Cruz with a live film performance drawn from the buried reels right under our gallery’s very floorboards!
