Atlas(t)

By Yi Hai Lai

Kearny Street Workshop (KSW) and Galería de la Raza have recharged their tradition of collaboration with the presentation of dynamic new works by 36 emerging Bay Area artists. Less than a year ago, Claire Light of KSW, Jaime Cortez of Galería, and cohorts dissected the historical concept of cartography, each running with a piece of it. Last month, they came out of their personal deliberation and showcased it at the Galería. The result: atlas(t): a mapping expedition/exhibition equipped by Latino and Asian Pacific American artists, a surprising, coherent dialogue that challenges the status quo of mapping and the limitations of a Euro-centric world.

Ee: Another Asian Gangster Band?

Tobin Mori talks about Showbiz and Indie Rock

Breaking up is hard to do. Tobin Mori, guitarist/vocalist of the San Francisco indie-rock band Ee, knows. He broke up with two girls — a girlfriend and his Bammie-nominated indie-rock band Korea Girl — around the same time about two years ago, which led to his shaving his head and legs and driving out into the desert, near Las Vegas, to purify himself. But it didn’t work out quite the way he planned. “I got there and I was there for 15 minutes and thought, ‘God, this is so lame’ and I just drove back,” Mori says. “I was planning on staying out in the desert: I brought a tent and everything; it was part of my quest for nothingness.”
