Hype, buzz, dialogue,
criticism, call it what you will. It is the talking about
that gets things noticed. San Francisco and the Bay Area
have a very real, very vital art scene that is suffering
from a profound lack of dialogue. And because of this lack,
our art is often ignored by the art world at large and
shockingly, by San Franciscans themselves. When confronted
with the bounty of visual art that fills the Bay Area, the
response is apathetic silence. Visual art is so ubiquitous
to San Francisco and Oakland that we have disengaged from
it.
Enter Plastic Antinomy, a quarterly art publication
dedicated to bring focus, coherence and well deserved
attention to the SF/Oakland visual arts scenes by talking
about them in direct, honest and hopefully entertaining
reviews, interviews and articles. Not everybody will like
what we have to say. Good. If we all share one opinion or
are afraid to say otherwise, neither the arts scene nor the
artists grow. It it antinomy, the paradox of opinion, that
encapsulates that very idea.
