Harry Smith’s Paper Airplane Collection
Photographed by Jason Fulford
A key figure of the twentieth century American avant-garde, Harry Everett Smith (1923–91) was a filmmaker, painter, musicologist, and self-taught anthropologist. Smith’s kaleidoscopic experimental animations have influenced generations of artists and cinephiles, while his landmark three-volume compilation Anthology of American Folk Music laid the foundation for the folk-music boom of the 1950s and 1960s.
Tamara Danoyan: Inner Circle
Photographer Tamara Danoyan’s inspiration for Inner Circle came from observing how light can make heavy and solid industrial objects appear ethereal and otherworldly. Large pipes become architectural spaces. Light enters through openings like it would through windows. Light reflected off of surfaces and diffused by plastic becomes more visible. A physical environment starts to feel celestial and evokes an elevated state of consciousness.
Janet Delaney: SoMa Now
Thirty-five years ago, photographer and educator Janet Delaney created the photography project, South of Market, about San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood. Referred to locally as SoMa, the area was a raw and gritty working-class neighborhood at the time of Delaney’s original project. Since then, SoMa has endured the devastation of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the 1990s boom, bust, and rebirth of the tech-firm industry.
