Sarah Maple-Salon Gallery http://www.salongallery.co.uk In 2007 SaLon Gallery (curated by Samir Ceric) realised its concept to advocate and assist the dynamic art scene emerging from the UK. Its mission is to discover, mentor and promote the country's most talented recent art graduates (from art schools such as Royal Academy of Arts, Goldsmiths, Glasgow School of Art and The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art) and give them the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional gallery environment. The SaLon Gallery team ensures it selects the best new emerging artists through extensive research: travelling to graduate shows across the country, visiting artists' studios and collaborating with universities. Promoting young talent to a wider audience, thus making art accessible to all, is a key concept behind SaLon Gallery. Moreover, the gallery places an importance on educating and informing young graduate artists about how to survive and succeed in the commercial art world. SaLon Gallery's shows have featured successful young artists already critical acclaimed, such as the Royal Academy's Samuel Jackson, the Slade's Ian Larson and the winner of Saatchi's '4 New Sensations' show Sarah Maple.

Jiawei Shen was born in 1948 in Shanghai, China. After showing promising talent in his early 20s he decided to cultivate his skills and build a solid career as an artist. However, Shen's dream of becoming an artist was cut short as the Cultural Revolution engulfed China. Under Mao's rule all art schools were closed down and the working class were shipped out of the cities and ordered to work on the land, leaving Shen to teach himself the craft which would become his livelihood years later. With the death of Mao in the late 70s and a new pragmatic leadership in place, the art school doors were reopened allowing Shen to study for two years at Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Although Shen's art was well received in his homeland and even earned the young artist nationally recognised awards, he decided to make the trip abroad to Australia to seek out a new life for himself, his wife and unborn child. Leaving his pregnant wife behind and with little money, Shen arrive in Sydney in 1989. For his first two years in Australia, Shen drew portrait sketches for tourists in Darling Harbour to survive and took the opportunity to research portraiture and fine tune his craft .In 1992, Shen was finally reunited with his wife and 3 year old daughter. Apart from the normal demands of being a husband and father, the major challenge now facing Jiawei is the migrant experience. Jiawei is trying to create a place for himself as an artist in the Australian context. But this poses a dilemma. What does Shen Jiawei now paint in his adopted homeland? Displaced from China and its history he must now find new historical themes that reflect his current experience. It's through his art that he tries to convey a sense of the ongoing dialogue between his Chinese self and the Australian that he's becoming.

A public art project by Samuel Yates sponsored by the City of Palo Alto Public Art Commission. UNVEILING EVENT: a presentation by SAMUEL YATES featuring ELI SCHLEIFER Chief Software Architect, The Color of Palo Alto with an introduction by GLEN HELFAND Critic, Artforum & San Francisco Bay Guardian TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2008, 7:00 p.m. CITY HALL, COUNCIL CHAMBERS 250 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301 Limited Seating, RSVP (650) 329-2227 http://www.thecolorofpaloalto.org Special Guests: LARRY KLEIN Mayor, City of Palo Alto SID ESPINOSA Director of Philanthropy, Hewlett-Packard Company DAVID LEVIN Chair, City of Palo Alto, Public Art Commission (2000-2002) VIDEO & MUSIC by MATTHEW E. JONES: The video was filmed, edited, and scored by Matthew E. Jones (a.k.a. matt:matt), while Jones was an undergraduate student at Florida State University (FSU), Tallahassee. Jones met Yates when Yates gave a lecture at FSU on "The Color of Palo Alto." Jones came to California and filmed the last day of data sampling (photography) in 2005 and edited the video in early 2006. Although it has been shown to art schools, universities, galleries, and other audiences since then, Yates and Jones have waited to post the video online until after the color was discovered and the unveiling was near. http://www.artomaton.net LOCAL ITEM #1 - FACEBOOK HEADQUARTERS: Unbeknownst to Yates and Jones when filming in 2005, the vacant lot under construction in the video (behind a chain link fence with I-beams and a port-a-potty) would become "Facebook Intergalactic Headquarters" at 164 Hamilton Avenue, two blocks from "The Color of Palo Alto" headquarters in Civic Center Plaza at 250 Hamilton Avenue. "The Color of Palo Alto" was located in the plaza from 2004 to 2008, and the Facebook building was finished in 2006. LOCAL ITEM #2 - OPENING SHOT: The opening shot of the video is from Foothills Park in Palo Alto looking toward City Hall at dawn. The Hoover Tower of Stanford University is visible in the left side of the frame. The water in the background is the San Francisco Bay. The City of Palo Alto boundary extends from the Santa Cruz Mountains down into the Bay. FINAL COLOR: The color specimens (photographs) were taken from every parcel in the city from January to December, 2005 (to capture all four seasons in Palo Alto), hence the reference to "one year" in the video. It took four years to build up to the data collection year, and several years to process the data afterward, hence "2001 to 2008," or seven years to complete the entire project. Also, the final color is not brown, grey, or beige. FULL CREDITS: Full credits and more information can be found at http://www.thecolorofpaloalto.org.
