The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum presents the Mithraic Mysteries, a 35-minute planetarium show. Of the many riddles left to us by antiquity, none is more intriguing than that of the ancient Roman religion known as the Mithraic mysteries. The teachings of this ancient Roman "mystery religion" of Mithraism were guarded with the utmost secrecy, revealed only to select initiates. While the Mithraists never wrote down their secret doctrines, they did leave a key to them in the arcane iconography, which filled the walls of their underground temples. Until now, all attempts to decipher this iconography have proven fruitless. Most experts have been content with a vague hypothesis that these images somehow derived from ancient Iranian religion.

In a groundbreaking work, Dr. David Ulansey has recently offered a radically different theory. He argues that Mithraic iconography was actually an astronomical code, and that the cult began as a religious response to a startling scientific discovery. The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum presents his theory of the mysteries concealed in Mithraic temple carvings that could reveal the central secret of the cult: a secret consisting of an ancient vision of the ultimate nature of the universe.

For Brent Townshend, photography is about seeing the world. His goal is to also let us see what is often missed. And one direction we invariably forget to see is up. In the mid-1980s, photographer Brent Townshend explored landscape and night photography before developing an interest in street photography. In 2004, he moved to Paris, where he actively pursued photojournalism, fashion, and studio photography. Townshend's foray into these different forms of photography enlarged his creative expression, honed his skills and talents, and focused his artistic vision toward the realm of fine-art photography.

Townshend aims his camera toward the sky or ceiling. The resulting shapes, created by the sky when framed by buildings, captivate him. Indoors, he captures the images painted on the ceilings of well-known architectural structures like Grand Central Station in New York City, the Paris Archives, and the Opera Garnier, both in France. Many of these shapes, paintings, or designs are ignored because individuals seldom look up and take notice.

Townshend relishes the technical challenges in creating his images. For Looking Up, he developed a process to capture extreme wide-angle images with high contrast using a full-frame, fisheye lens, a wide-angle lens that creates a uniquely distorted hemispherical image. He merges these images into high-resolution, seamless photographs. Through this process, new forms appear—forms that existed in reality but could not be seen in the same way with the unaided human eye. Changes in the projections, angles, and other parameters cause the forms to shift, the lines to warp, and the eyes to be guided elsewhere.

Brent Townshend is a fine art photographer based in Paris and San Francisco.

In Karen Haas' art she attempts to give two sides of experience—one that may be expressive of pleasure, another that exhibits underlying tension or psychological isolation. On close look, people unwittingly reveal attitudes and connections through body posture and spatial relationships. People’s activities seem (to her) to be exciting and somewhat humorous. Karen is curious how people connect with each other, or exist in their own closed-in worlds, even within families. Certain venues are continually interesting and visually stimulating, such as urban parks and swimming pools.

Karen's current art subject—depictions of private and public life-- grew out of sociological studies and employment interviewing people from all walks of life. Her professional training in this area teaches that an observer becomes a participant in what is being observed. Her art seeks to raise consciousness concerning this and other issues of contemporary urban life.

Karen's work is based on photos she has taken herself. She likes to make sketches and rearrange these subjects in expressive ways. At times she consciously draws on the use of space in Asian paintings--for example, allowing large parts to be empty, or taking more than one point of view. R. B. Kitaj is an influence through his complex spatial organizations, color and psychological intensity. Karen intends her work to continue in the direction of creating less realistic and more emotional spaces for her subjects.

An exhibit of fun and creative photos taken by local photographer Steven Shpall. Shpall's manipulated images have been making their mark in local competitions for the past five years, winning a first place in the manipulated images category in last year's 17th Annual Palo Alto Weekly Photo Contestlast year for his picture Animal Crackers (pictured). Originally from Denver Colorado, Shpall moved to Palo Alto for the schools and the weather. Now Shpall works as a dermatologist and has lived in Palo Alto for more than 20 years.

Although he has been involved with photography for quite some time -- he once had a darkroom in his home -- he didn't start taking it seriously until recently. He enjoyed taking pictures of his children growing up, but a digital camera he got as a present from his wife changed his perspective on photography.

Donna Orme works from vaguely felt thoughts and feelings expressed in the colors and forms which emerge through her art. Her world revolves around creating mixed media and printmaking artwork, such as the current body of cast acrylic monotypes. The works incorporate an interplay of space, color, circles and lines as she searches for new and creative expressions. Constant reminders of unfinished works prompt Donna to action. Fascinated by the jars of colored paint in her studio, she ponders the project for the day. The colors will need to be mixed together to achieve the desired consistency, tone and value for the current pieces that are being developed. Donna moves to express what is inside her, so the experimentation begins. The artworks start to guide her toward a completed work.

The Biennial is a celebration of creativity at the intersection of art, technology, and digital culture; the theme for the 2010 Biennial is Build Your Own World. “The best way to predict the future is to invent it,” posited Alan Kay. This idea encapsulates the Build Your Own World theme where: The future is not about what’s next; it’s about what we can build to ensure that what’s next matters. How can we, as resourceful, innovative, and knowledgeable local and global citizens build and participate in a desirable future in the face of global climate change, economic meltdown, political instability, and cultural divisiveness?

The 2010 01SJ Biennial is predicated on the notion that as artists, designers, engineers, architects, marketers, corporations and citizens we have the tools to (re)build the world, conceptually and actually, virtually and physically, poorly and better, aesthetically and pragmatically, in both large and small ways. Under the theme “Build Your Own World,” the 3rd 01SJ Biennial will present a broad range of exemplary work, which not only imagines the future (world) but builds it.

The 3rd 01SJ Biennial will take place September 15-19, 2010, throughout San Jose. It is about how powerful ideas and innovative individuals from around the world can make a difference and come together to build a unique, city-wide platform for creative solutions and public engagement. It is about the inspiration needed to build a world we want to live in and are able to live with.

Among the exhibits at the museum is a collection of equipment and memorabilia commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the Daly City Fire Department.The display is located in the center of the Ken and Bunny Gillespie Room and includes badges, photos, and a fully restored 1907 hand-drawn chemical cart. History Guild members named the room in honor of Daly City’s longtime historians.

Guild members will serve as greeters and hosts. The museum will have expanded displays that afford an overview of local history from 1859 to the present. Special seasonal and commemorative exhibits will be featured.

Namik Sultanov is well-known as a distinguished pianist and pedagogue with exceptional lyrical gifts and a distinctive performance style. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, he showed extraordinary musical talent from a very early age. Playing violin and flute, he was a serious student of composition in his youth, composing more than 150 pieces that were featured at music school concerts. Although at that time a string student, he won first prize in the music school’s piano competition. At 12, deeply impressed by Van Cliburn’s stunning performance at the First Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, he began to self-study Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. Practicing day and night, he soon played all three movements for Ahad Israfilzade, chief conductor of the Azerbaijan Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Israfilzade immediately asked him to play with the Philharmonic, and the triumphant concert was a big sensation in the musical life of this capital city.

Farm life has proven difficult, requiring him to spend time in a sanatorium to calm his nerves. While recuperating, Jim has dreamed up a new use for his farm. He plans to turn it into an entertainment venue called "Holiday Inn", which will only open on holidays...“Crosby's easy, casual banter is just the right foil for Astaire's precision acrobatics, his wry, offbeat humor..” - Time Magazine.

C. C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) is a lonely office drone for an insurance company in New York City. Four different company managers take turns commandeering Baxter's apartment, which is located on West 67th Street on the Upper West Side, for their various extramarital liaisons. Unhappy with the situation, but unwilling to challenge them directly, he juggles their conflicting demands while hoping to catch the eye of fetching elevator operator Miss Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine). Meanwhile the neighbors in the apartment building, a medical doctor and his wife, assume Baxter is a "good time Charlie" who gets a different woman drunk every night. Baxter accepts their criticism rather than reveal the truth. "In the best tradition of low-key romances...Their relationship is based not on physical attraction but on a kinship of souls.” - James Berardinelli - Reelviews. Starring Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. MGM/UA; Directed by Billy Wilder. Black and White; Not Rated; 125 minutes; 1960.

In a time when sculpture is often the chosen medium for public art the image of large and imposing structures often come to mind, but three-dimensional art need not be massive to have a powerful presence. A Closer Look is an exhibition of works by four sculptors: Al Farrow, Terry Kreiter, Darrell Phelps and Lynne Todaro.

Each of these artists produces intricate and intimate works which, though smaller in scale than their larger cousins, still possess the power to impress. These sculptures demand a closer look, and it is that closeness that makes them so intriguing.

As a working artist and a professional emergency room nurse, Terry Acebo-Davis understands the healing psychology of art. She applies this knowledge to her own life as she examines her heritage, personal growth, and expanding awareness that comes with experience of the world around her. Tri•age is an installation exhibition that explores these and other issues in the artist’s life. “Triage” refers to the emergency room practice of sorting out who needs to be seen most urgently, but by emphasizing both halves of the word Acebo-Davis also suggests the third stage of life (after 50), a time when one is not emerging anymore, and when one understands more fully the need to sort out priorities and values of life. It is a process to which Acebo-Davis’s art is well suited.

Many of the models are operating classics of their type; some were custom-built for this display. Be they whimsical, serious or historical, all are great fun.

Our beloved bobcats, Tule and Rufus, are getting a new home! The Zoo’s current aviary will be transformed into a big cat haven that more closely mirror’s the animals’ natural habitat. Structural and exhibit enhancements will also be designed to create a better visitor experience. Highlights of the project include an increased exhibit height and square footage; new, non-reflective glass to increase visibility; a more natural setting with sloped landscaping, soil, grass, plants, a large tree, heated rocks, pond and a waterfall; a child-size crawlspace to allow safe and playful, eye-to-eye views of the bobcats; exhibit accessories such as touchable bobcat furs, skulls and other animal artifacts that allow for a more tactile exploration of the animal residents; a whimsical bobcat pretend-habitat and costumes for kids to wear while engaging in imaginative "bobcat play"; improved interpretive signage to benefit both parents and children; and a new “behind-the-scenes” animal observation and treatment area.

SuperStrings, comprised of the youngest PACO students, introduces the basic elements of ensemble playing to young string players with limited orchestral experience but having had a few years of private study. Under the direction of Kris Yenney (PACO ’74), an emphasis is placed on creating a positive environment where the love of music and of playing together is fostered for a lifetime of enjoyment. As at all PACO levels, competitiveness is minimized in favor of cooperation, wherein each player is equally valuable to the whole. In addition to weekly rehearsals, each SuperStrings member is placed in a smaller chamber ensemble which practices under the supervision of a parent, a member of Senior PACO, or a local professional. SuperStrings’ two annual concerts feature works for the orchestra as well as performances by these chamber ensembles. Program TBA.

This exhibition will present over twenty drawings and paintings by artist Kevin Bean, who has taught drawing and painting at Stanford University since 1999. One group of large paintings on display was inspired by black and white family photos that he recreated from memory and imagination. The paintings show his concern for the relationships among the people as much as his interest in color and paint itself.

A second group of works on display present small geometric drawings and show Bean’s interest in geometry and color. His work has been widely exhibited in both solo and group shows and he is the recipient of numerous awards.

An Opening Reception and Artist Talk is being held Friday, October 9, from 6-8 pm.

The Main Gallery presents an exhibition of original intaglio etchings from the children’s book, Kasper the Clown, by artist, storyteller and teacher Marianne Schlumberger of Menlo Park, CA.

The intaglio prints for Kasper the Clown are the result of a long process of artistic elimination. The artist experimented with many different techniques, such as aquatinting and multiple-plate printing, while at the same time working on and simplifying the overall compositions. Schlumberger finally settled on the intaglio process: creating the images by etching on aluminum with copper sulfate, then painting each image by hand with watercolor.

Coastal landscapes from California to the Mediterranean, Aegean, Adriatic, Caribbean, Black Sea and Mexico shores highlight the realistic images on canvas and paper of Bay Area realist Laurie Chase. Her works focuses on marine and landscape subjects, chronicling, harbors, working fishing boats and rolling hills around the world. Her vision is to capture the simple, untarnished charm of the varying countryside’s and coastline communities that surround them. From translucent skies mirrored in a sheltered Mediterranean harbor, to a weatherworn, brightly painted fishing boat bobbing in a Caribbean surge, her coastal compositions recall the heritage of a bygone era, while recording a culturally colorful seaside odyssey.

A special opening reception is being held Saturday, November 7th from 3pm-7pm.

A lyrically intense fifth collection from "one of the nation's most provocative and edgy poets" (San Diego Union-Tribune). With both passion and precision, Lucifer at the Starlite explores life’s dual nature: good and evil, light and dark, suffering and moments of unexpected joy. Whether looking outward to events on the world stage—the war in Iraq, the 2004 Asian tsunami—or inward at struggles with the self, these poems aim at the heart and against the feeling that Lucifer may have already won the day.

Winner of the 2008 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize. Enacting the Zen proverb "fall down seven times, get up eight," this collection explores the ways we fall--through disillusionment, disappointment, and plain, old-fashioned mistakes, and the ways we rise up--out of personal debacles, unfortunate circumstances, family legacies, and collective struggles.

The Belgian artist Georges Remi's (Hergé) legendary creation, Tintin, is a figure whose adventures have enchanted readers in Europe for the last 80 years. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the twentieth century, with translations published in over 50 languages and more than 200 million copies of the books sold to date. With the proliferation of Tintin blogs, Steven Spielberg's and Peter Jackson's planned cinematographic adaptations, and a Tintin museum scheduled to open in Belgium in the near future, there are many signs that the popularity of Hergé's boy hero continues to grow.

The Metamorphoses of Tintin is the English translation of the first critical study of the canonical Tintin cartoons. Published in French in 1984 and republished many times since, this pioneering work examines the long career of both the cartoonist and his creation.

After the Second World War, Tintin's adventures became more psychological than political, thus appealing to a wider range of readers. He left behind the real world and came to occupy the center of a fictional universe where he tirelessly championed the underdog. A figure without origins, he turned international hero at the very moment that Western nations were becoming homogenized and transmitting their commodities and values on a global scale. Arguing that the series of albums thus offers a reflection on the whole of twentieth-century life, Jean-Marie Apostolidès traces the evolution of Tintin's character and reveals the unity of Hergé's masterpiece.

This comprehensive solo exhibition features work by midcareer artist Frank D. Cole. This selection of work, completed from 1995 to 2009, includes paintings and mixed-media installations that represent Cole’s ongoing exploration in storytelling and the interaction between visual images and language.

For over thirty years, Cole has followed a narrative impulse, working at the edge of disciplines. Born and raised in Mississippi, he was influenced by southern literary and oral storytelling traditions. As an avid moviegoer, he absorbed images of contemporary culture on large-scale motion picture screens. He was also fascinated with the billboards, movie posters, and hand-painted signs that dot the American landscape. It has been the interaction between visual images and language to create meaning that has inspired Cole’s work year after year.

A reception for the artist will be held on Friday, December 4, from 5pm-7pm.

The boom and rumble of giant machines in the noisy gloom of night shift in a foundry merged and emerged from the distant past in Joseph Zirker’s monotypes as imagined mechanical devices. These images, mostly black and white, are accompanied by playful Calder-esque sculptures constructed of paper that “represent in three dimensions a dual need to both translate and objectify the feelings and ideas that have preoccupied my printmaking in two dimensions” according to Zirker.

He explains, “Artists who make monotypes are painters who find themselves working backwards and enjoying drawing and painting on plate surfaces that, when printed, reveal the image in reverse.”

The exhibition, which opens in the Peninsula Museum of Art’s gallery on January 17, 2010, continues through March 28. Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritas of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, is the guest curator for Machines of Memory.

Who knew there were feminists in China over a hundred years ago? Meet the "Chinese Joan of Arc," Qiu Jin (1875-1907), an accomplished writer, women's rights activist, and leader of a revolutionary army who attempted to overthrow the corrupt Qing Dynasty. Qiu Jin boldly challenged traditional gender roles and redefined what it meant to be a woman in early 20th-century China.

This film was produced and directed by two San Francisco Bay Area Chinese American filmmakers, Rae Chang and Adam Tow, and stars martial arts champion and Hollywood stunt actress Li Jing. Following the free screening will be a Q-and-A session with the filmmakers.

At the turn of the last century, the poster rapidly became a vital force in the visual arts, as artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Jules Chereet, and Herni Van de Valde helped to establish it as an independent medium for visual communication through which the artist expressed aesthetic ideas through the shapes, colors, and composition of typographic as well as through illustrative elements. The changing nature of communication within twentieth century society demanded a simple, bold, and efficient medium that could be viewed and understood "on the fly."

Switzerland was one of several countries to be influenced by Bauhaus principles of visual composition propounded by constructivist artists such as El Lissitsky and Joseph Albers. They considered the artists as a designer from modern technological society, and offered radical ideas through new and dynamic typographic elements. With the success of the Bauhaus movement, the imagery of machined forms reduced to "functional" simplicity received a powerful international impetus. Although there was some work done during the Depression and World War II, it was only after the war that poster design activity increased. By the mid-1950s, strong, identifiable, groups of poster designers had emerged, producing works of striking boldness and geomometric simplicity.

Through examples of the "Swiss" approaches to posters, this exhibit focuses on the works of several artists/designers who have had considerable international influence on graphic design. They have been drawn from the private collection of noted designer Aaron Marcus, Fellow, AIGA; Member, CHI Academy and the ICOGRADA Graphic Design Hall of Fame; Editor-in-Chief, User Experience (UPA); and Editor, Information Design Journal.

Artist Lacey Bryant has always been fascinated at how so many fragile things are able to exist in our chaotic, messy world. According to Lacey, "Tiny, delicate things often seem to thrive in the most hostile environments. Fragility makes things precious to us, things are more beautiful because they will not last."

"So many things are fragile when you stop to think about it. Insect wings, shells, glass, children, hearts, dreams, the list is endless. On the surface, vulnerability seems to unite these things but the deeper thing that all of these fragile things have in common is a hidden strength. An egg shell is easily broken, but the shape of an egg is such that it can support a massive amount of weight for it’s size and thickness, protecting it’s delicate contents. An insect may be crushed without a thought but can easily survive a fall that would kill a human being, not to mention the strength of their numbers. Children are amazingly resilient and can survive the most horrible of circumstances. It is the balance between weak and strong and the often contradictory duality of things that interests me. ”

Artist Jen Renzel creates work featuring little sideshow oddities, dark dreams, and mystical beings. Broken dolls, old toys, antique hardware, collaged images, and imagination are the ingredients for these shadow boxes.

According to Jen, “The broken down treasure at the bottom of a moldy box can be the cornerstone of a new creation. In fact, that’s often how the idea for a piece starts — with one broken doll, toy, or image that sparks the imagination. The rest is a continual trial and error process of finding which pieces fit together, then figuring out how to connect them, which can be challenging when working with oftentimes crumbling, frail and damaged materials and parts. Something tells me when a piece is finished. Some pieces come together quickly, and some take forever and are a struggle. In either case, I can lose hours and hours in the workshop, and the results sometimes surprise even me.”

Portola Art Gallery presents Expressions in Water Media an exhibit of new water media paintings by Barbara von Haunalter of Los Altos Hills. Master of all painting mediums, Barbara von Haunalter of Los Altos Hills proves this month that water based paints sing. The new work created on site in Pescadero, Hidden Villa Ranch in Los Altos Hills and other Bay Area locations vibrates with color and depth via Barbara’s adept handling of her brush.

Barbara uses transparent watercolor, watercolor with pastel, water-based oil and transparent watercolor, watercolor and gouache: on watercolor papers of various kinds, multimedia boards, MonaLisa panels, on canvas, and 300 lb. watercolor paper. The chaotic selection of mediums is well organized in the resulting paintings.

Barbara says about the painting, Cornstalks, “I’ve always loved the way corn stalks looked when their time was up--the blond colors and patterns are intriguing. I painted these shapes in my garden, focusing on the abstract qualities I observed. I wanted to bring out the drama that I saw in the stalks against the background.”

The currency of the issue and our members' expressed level of concern at our last two events have both informed our decision to show the rest of the latest documentary film by Robert Greenwald, Rethink Afghanistan. On Sunday, November 22 we will, as with our September event, begin at 5:30pm with a potluck dinner, and follow with more of this remarkable film. Back in September only the first few parts of the film had been released. Rather than wait, we chose to show what we had in order to bring the issue of the Afghanistan war to San Mateo Peace Action's front burner. Peace Action West Political Director Rebecca Griffin's October talk complemented the film's message with more details and suggestions for channeling our activism. On November 22 we will "finish watching" the film and have another open comment period - to hear from each other and further explore what we can do both individually and collectively. Part 5 of the film is called Women of Afghanistan, and raises questions about whether this war can, as advertised by many of its boosters, liberate or help Afghani women. Part 6, simply called Security, features ex-CIA agents making the case that there is no victory to be won Afghanistan. We have thus far avoided showing a segment called Civilian Casualties because of its graphic images. All of the segments (and various fact sheets) can be found by logging on to www.rethink Afghanistan.com. And on Sunday November 22, Beck Hall at UUSM will be the place to go to find community and share ideas coming out of the last three months of information we have tried to facilitate about the Afghanistan war. Please also bring a dish to share; beverages will be on hand for a donation, and coffee and tea will be as always complimentary. The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.

The Stanford Department of Drama and the Stanford Theatre Activist Mobilization Project (STAMP) are proud to announce a staged reading - the San Francisco Bay Area premiere - of the thought-provoking play, My Name is Rachel Corrie. This show follows one girl’s true story of struggle through adolescence, self-discovery, and idealism as she bursts through her familiar world of Olympia, WA to the conflict-ridden Gaza strip as a volunteer aid worker.

Taken from the poetic, gritty, and comedic writings of Rachel Corrie, this one-woman show celebrates the precarious young life an emerging social hero right up until she is killed by an Israeli Defense Forces bulldozer while working for social justice and peace in the Gaza Strip in March of 2003, teaching us all important lessons about global conflict, peace, and our own responsibility to advance change in our world. The performances feature an impressive line-up of post-show discussion speakers including Professor Khalil Barhoum, Professor Joel Beinin, and Professor Tom Sheehan.

This conversation will introduce Lemon’s rich portfolio and focus on his Geography Trilogy, the fruit of a nine-year investigation through travel that followed the artist’s decision to disband his postmodern dance company and search for a new relationship to his work. Lemon is the fall artist-in-residence at the Stanford Institute for Diversity in the Arts.

From his early taped speech pieces It's Gonna Rain (1965) and Come Out (1966) to his and video artist Beryl Korot's digital video opera Three Tales (2002), composer Steve Reich's path has embraced not only aspects of Western classical music, but the structures, harmonies, and rhythms of non-Western and American vernacular music, particularly jazz.

Beryl Korot is a pioneer of video installation art and has exhibited works in museums in Europe, the U.S. and Japan since 1974. Her recent collaborations with her husband, Steve Reich, have brought video installation art into the context of contemporary music theater.

In this second conversation in our Art + Invention series, we will explore two works produced by this creative husband and wife couple: The Cave (1990-93), a music theater video piece exploring the Biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac and Three Tales, which presents three parables of technology run amok: the crash of the German airship Hindenburg, the testing of atomic bombs on Bikini Atoll, and a preview of a catastrophe to come in the birth of artificial intelligence and cloning.

L.A. Theatre Works, the acclaimed radio theater company, performs this new radio docudrama co-commissioned by Lively Arts, charting Robert F. Kennedy’s personal and political journey at the cusp of the Civil Rights Movement. Kennedy, who was assassinated in June 1968, just months after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a complex and evolving relationship with King and the Movement, gradually moving from mutual suspicion to shared aspirations and strategic alliances.

From wiretapping to voting rights, race relations, and wartime politics, the themes underlying RFK’s tenure as Attorney General (in the Johnson administration) and later as US Senator and presidential candidate still resonate more than forty years later. L.A. Theatre Works productions feature a first-rate cast and live sound effects, and are recorded live for radio broadcast, as in the “Golden Age of Radio.”

Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most renowned—and daring—creative pioneers. Recognized worldwide as a leader in the use of technology in the arts, Anderson is known widely for her multimedia presentations, casting herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist.

In her new work, Delusion, which will debut at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and be presented by Stanford Lively Arts on May 5, Anderson explores sound and stories in a series of short plays. Using her inventions in vocal processing, signature violin pieces and lush sonic landscapes Anderson creates and inhabits imaginary worlds that become mental movies. Conceived as a ninety-minute technodrama, the new work combines technology, mystery and contemporary short stories in a unique new art form.

After each screening of this film, there will be a discussion about how we can reduce our consumption, spend less, put the fun back into the holiday season and get more of what matters out of it. Event-goers will also receive an e-toolkit full of tips for lowering their environmental impact during the holidays.

No Impact Man, an Oscilloscope film, tells the story of Colin Beavan’s decision to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for a full year. It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, busses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage. No problem – at least for Colin – but he and his family live in Manhattan. So when his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife Michelle and their two-year-old daughter are dragged into the fray, the No Impact Project has an unforeseen impact of its own.

This exceptional graphic novel recounts the spiritual odyssey of philosopher Bertrand Russell. In his agonized search for absolute truth, Russell crosses paths with legendary thinkers like Gottlob Frege, David Hilbert, and Kurt Gödel, and finds a passionate student in the great Ludwig Wittgenstein. But his most ambitious goal—to establish unshakable logical foundations of mathematics—continues to loom before him. Through love and hate, peace and war, Russell persists in the dogged mission that threatens to claim both his career and his personal happiness, finally driving him to the brink of insanity.

This story is at the same time a historical novel and an accessible explication of some of the biggest ideas of mathematics and modern philosophy. With rich characterizations and expressive, atmospheric artwork, the book spins the pursuit of these ideas into a highly satisfying tale.

Probing and ingeniously layered, the book throws light on Russell’s inner struggles while setting them in the context of the timeless questions he spent his life trying to answer. At its heart, Logicomix is a story about the conflict between an ideal rationality and the unchanging, flawed fabric of reality.

Christos H. Papadimitriou is C . Lester Hogan professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. He has won numerous international awards for his pioneering work in computational complexity and algorithmic game theory. He has written the novel Turing: A Novel about Computation.

It was made like a television movie, and completed in less than three months. It killed off its star in forty minutes. There was no happy ending. And it offered the most violent scene to date in American film, punctuated by shrieking strings that seared the national consciousness. Nothing like Psycho had existed before; the movie industry—even America itself—would never be the same.

In The Moment of Psycho, film critic David Thomson situates Psycho in Alfred Hitchcock’s career, recreating the mood and time when the seminal film erupted onto film screens worldwide. Thomson shows that Psycho was not just a sensation in film: it altered the very nature of our desires. Sex, violence, and horror took on new life. Psycho, all of a sudden, represented all America wanted from a film—and, as Thomson brilliantly demonstrates, still does.

English-American writer David Thomson is the author of many books on film, including Have You Seen...? A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films, which the New York Times called, “passionate, illuminating, rich, and eccentric”; and the massively influential Biographical Dictionary of Film called “the best book on the movies ever written in English” (The New Republic). He lives in San Francisco with his family.

Half the five million people in America with Alzheimer's disease are in the middle to late stages. The accepted notion of the medical establishment is that it is impossible to communicate with these individuals, and family members and friends should give up hope of being able to salvage a real relationship with their loved ones with Alzheimer's. By working with Alzheimer's patients and their families for more than sixteen years, author Judith London has learned that this is false, and, in fact, people can learn how to connect the dots of scattered information offered by people with Alzheimer's and maintain a sense of connection with their loved ones.

Compelling and inspiring anecdotes from the author's work reveal the depth of feeling and insight still present in advanced Alzheimer's patients. After each anecdote, the author explains the technique she used to draw meaning from the Alzheimer's patient's communication, then shows readers how to use it with their loved ones. The book also includes chapters of pertinent, accessible information on Alzheimer's that will help readers understand how the brain is affected by the disease.

Judith L. London, Ph.D., is a psychologist licensed in New York and California who has treated people with Alzheimer's and other dementias in public long-term care facilities for more than sixteen years. She has been adjunct professor at New York University, a stress management trainer and workshop leader, and a featured columnist on addictions. London conducts seminars on Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and maintaining brain health.

Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people--at work, at school, at home. It's wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does--and how that affects every aspect of our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it's precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today's challenges.

Drive is bursting with big ideas-- the rare book that will change how you think and transform how you live.
Daniel H. Pink is the author of the long-running New York Times and BusinessWeek bestseller A Whole New Mind, as well as The Adventures of Johnny Bunko and Free Agent Nation. He has written for The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Wired, where he is a contributing editor. He has provided analysis for CNN, CNBC, ABC, NPR, and other networks in the U.S. and abroad. Pink lectures on economic transformation and the new workplace at corporations, associations, and universities around the world.

My Nepenthe weaves together stories and tales about the famous California restaurant perched on the majestic cliffs of Big Sur. It celebrates the magic and history of place through food and the Fassett family who started Nepenthe. In 2009 Nepenthe commemorates 60 years of bringing writers, artists, dancers, travelers, actors, and cooks together around the table. Today about 250,000 people visit Nepenthe every year.

Written by the owners' granddaughter, Romney Steele, who grew up at the restaurant, My Nepenthe marks the restaurant's vibrant past as a gathering place and noted bohemian haunt, and its foray into the film industry during the shooting of The Sandpiper, featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. It also explores the lively scene that played out into the '70s, and onward through the current decade where it showcases Nepenthe's unique relationship with Pisoni Vineyards, owned by the renowned winemaker family. My Nepenthe includes more than seventy-five special recipes from the Fassetts, the restaurant, and the cafe, along with spectacular photography that completes the tale.

Mickey Dade hates deskwork, but that's all he's been doing at Wyatt Hunt's private investigative service, The Hunt Club. His itch to be active is answered when a body is discovered: It's Dominic Como, one of San Francisco's most high-profile activists-a charismatic man known as much for his expensive suits as his work on a half dozen nonprofit boards. One "person of interest" in the case is Como's business associate, Alicia Thorpe-young, gorgeous, and the sister of one of Mickey's friends.

As Mickey and Hunt are pulled into the case, they soon learn that the city's golden fundraiser was involved in some highly suspect deals. And the lovely Alicia knows more about this-and more about Como-than she's letting on.

Treasure Hunt is both a nail-biting thriller and a coming-of-age story, filled with Lescroart's trademark San Francisco flavors. Mickey Dade, its young protagonist, gradually learns the hard lessons Hunt knows only too well, as the world he thought he knew unravels around him.

John Lescroart is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty previous novels, including A Plague of Secrets, Betrayal, The Suspect and The Hunt Club. His books have been printed in sixteen languages and published in more than seventy-five countries.
