Letterform Archive Announces the opening of its FIRST GALLERY with BAUHAUS TYPOGRAPHY exhibition

Bauhaus Typography at 100

November 13, 2021 – April 20, 2022

Press preview: November 11, 2021, 9:30am – noon

19 October 2021 – San Francisco, CA: After 18 months of COVID-enforced remote curation, the internationally esteemed nonprofit museum Letterform Archive is ready to open its new, custom-designed gallery at 2339 Third Street, Floor 4R,in San Francisco’s Dogpatch Cultural District. The inaugural exhibit, Bauhaus Typography at 100, opens on Saturday, November 13, 2021. 

The exhibition, curated by Rob Saunders and Henry Cole Smith, will feature more than 150 pieces from the Archive’s permanent collection, including graphic design by Bauhaus artists such as László Moholy-Nagy, Herbert Bayer, Joost Schmidt, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Johannes Itten.The event will be the city’s first post-COVID grand opening of a cultural institution’s new brick-and-mortar location.

Bauhaus Typography at 100 draws a throughline from the Bauhaus’s iconic style to the shape of typography today. Founded in 1919 by German architect Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus school embraced the tools of mass production in the creation of radical new art. To communicate the school’s vision in print, Bauhaus graphic design had a bold utilitarian look with sans-serif typefaces, asymmetrical layouts, experimental alphabets, and photomontage. Bauhaus Typography at 100 explores the school’s unique legacy in graphic design and typography through artifacts of its own making – its books and magazines, pedagogical and promotional ephemera – as well as objects created by its many luminaries before and after the time of the school. The exhibition also features women, such as Friedl Dicker, whose innovative typographic contributions are often overlooked. Though the school only lasted fourteen years, from 1919 to 1933, its influence endures. 

“We’re excited to share the Archive’s Bauhaus collection, which focuses as much on the earlier, more expressive work as on the better known ‘new typography’ style,” says Curator Rob Saunders. “We’re also really thrilled to unveil our first gallery, with its custom modular panels and vitrines designed to flexibly adapt to a broad range of upcoming exhibits.”

The hardcover exhibition catalog, Bauhaus Typography at 100, features 280 pages with high-fidelity images of objects from the exhibition and an introduction by Bauhaus design expert Ellen Lupton. It will be available at the show as well as online and in bookstores.

To serve the Archive’s global community, Bauhaus Typography at 100 will also be presented as a rich online exhibition designed by Jon Sueda and Chris Hamamoto. Lectures, gallery tours, and other special events – both in-person and online – will accompany the exhibition throughout its run. Complete details will be released on the Archive’s website and through its mailing list.

Visitor Information:

Admission: $10 for adults; $5 for students and seniors (65+); Archive members and children under 12 free.

Advanced tickets are now available at https://letterformarchive.org/visit

LIVES OF THE LINERS: CRUISING & CRUISE SHIPS & COVID OCT 16, 2021

LIVES OF THE LINERS: CRUISING & CRUISE SHIPS & COVID OCT 16, 2021

From Bill Miller

Update:  October 15th 2021

Fri Oct 1  Carnival Update: Arnold Donald, president and CEO of Carnival Corporation, described 2020 as a “trying but inspiring time” during last week’s “State of the Cruise Industry” panel in Miami Beach. Donald called 2020 transformative, and now has his sights set on the recovery. “We know where the road is headed and the road is headed toward a very bright future … but the road does have potholes and detours in it. It has been choppy and complicated,” said Donald, noting the Carnival brand had 11 ships back in service at 70 percent occupancy.  Across the corporation, the cruise brands in service for Carnival Corporation are averaging 68 percent occupancy, he noted.

American Queen Steamboat Co and Victory Cruise Lines have joined and become American Queen Voyages.
Cruising:  Staggering!  2020’s cruise passenger count plummeted to 5.8 million globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, an 81% decrease from the 29.7 million in 2019.
Below:   The AIDAmar in dry dock at Hamburg.

Onboard the Crystal Symphony:  There was a small covid outbreak onboard earlier this week and our dear friend George Chandler was aboard and was loyally “on duty” as one of our agents.  He reported, “Just had an update [from Thu Sep 30th] on the covid situation, heard at the front desk this morning, that the 5 people who tested positive have remained in Bermuda under quarantine and the 21 people they were in contact were retested and remain negative, and were returned to the ship on Monday. Otherwise, now heading back to NYC under cloudy skies.”
Sat Oct 2nd   Portugal:  Lisbon is officially back in business as the port and it is expecting 45 cruise calls in October following 13 calls in September.

Sun Oct 3rd Carnival Cruise Line unveiled a unique two week cruise to Greenland from Baltimore in 2023 a week ago.  A big hit!    It sold out in 24 hrs and so the Company has scheduled a second.  The cruises will be aboard the Carnival Legend.  

New Generation of Cruise Ships:   You can ride a roller coaster on the new Carnival Mardi Gras (below) or visit the tattoo parlor on Virgin’s  Scarlet Lady (bottom below) or munch in gourmet specialty restaurants on the likes of Spanish octopus with sunchokes and muhammara, hanger steak with mint and anchovies or goat cheese polenta with fancy stuff toppings.   Or  reach into your bank account and book passage  in an $11,000-a-day penthouse on Regent.  Yes, cruising – and the resumption of cruising – has moved to yet higher dimensions.   
Sun Oct 4th India’s Narcotics Control Bureau has busted a rave party onboard a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai. A team of NCB officials seized drugs such as cocaine, hashish and MDMA during the raid onboard Cordelia Cruise Line’s Empress.Passenger Preferences:  We find it interesting how cruise travelers prefer one ship over another – and sometimes within the same cruise line.  For example, our dear friend & frequent fellow traveler Rosemary Barnhardt wrote to us recently:  “We love Crystal Cruises.  But  Lee and I still so much prefer the subdued beauty of the Crystal Symphony [seen below at Pier 88, New York] to her rather bright-colored near-sister, the Crystal Serenity.”
Mon Oct 4th China:  The 930-passenger Zhao Shang Yi Dun – formerly known as the Viking Sun of Viking Ocean Cruises – has become the first cruise ship to resume commercial voyages with guests in China. The ship has set sail on an eight-day “Charming South China Sea” cruise departing from Shenzhen, sailing to Sanya and then returning to Shenzhen.  The ship combines European and Chinese elements to bring guests “diversified cultural and artistic entertainment programs,” according to the press release.Onboard, China Merchants Viking Cruises and Shanghai Wenguang Performing Arts Group SMG Live have created unique shows for the Star Theater onboard. These shows combine original Broadway classic musical tracks and drama performances that integrate elements like dance and audience interaction. Each voyage will also have different guest performers that will bring “surprise performances” to the guests. Additionally, the Zhao Shang Yi Dun offers onboard lectures on culture, art, natural sciences and food and has 2,000 hand-picked books available in the ship’s several public reading areas.Storylines, the upcoming private residence cruise line, has introduced a new collection of upscale homes at sea. The company said that it previously provided more affordable entry-level options into the condo ship market, with the vast majority of homes being studio and one-bedroom units in the 237 to 754 sq. feet range starting around $350,000. However, the largest two-story penthouse residences – at 1,529 sq. feet and $8M – were in short supply, and there were many consumer requests for intermediate two and three-bedroom options. To facilitate that, Storylines said that it has reconfigured some smaller residences to create 84 new larger homes ranging from 909-1417 sq. feet, with purchasing options starting from $2,455,000.

Tue Oct 5th Southampton, England: Our loyal friend Dave Smith  reports:   “Fresh out of a long refit & overhaul at Brest, the Queen Mary 2 has been docked at Berth 101 in Southampton docks since Friday.  She is docked next to Mayflower Park & the people taking photos & just seeing her are in the hundreds.  What an advert for Southampton & for Cunard!  But I don’t know how long she will be in Port.  In other local news, the 600 ft-plus chimney at Fawley Power station on Southampton Water will be felled at 7am on Sunday 31st October.  There is a mile & a half ‘stay outside zone’. We will have a great view from across the water at Hamble & Netley Abbey beaches.  They are going to build 1,500 homes there. And the Rank Hovis Building just inside Dock Gate 4 has been knocked down & they are going to build homes & leisure park there.”  Vintage Southampton in 1925 below – with the Aquitania, Homeric, Olympic & Araguaya at dock.

Bits’n Pieces:  Brazil has officially agreed to a resumption of  cruising this winter (their summer, of course).  … MSC Cruises will restart, in Nov, 7-night North European cruises – calling at Hamburg, Amsterdam, Zeebrugge, Le Havre & Southampton – and each with thoughtful 12-hr stays in each port. … Boutique small-ship cruise line Atlas Ocean Voyages announced in late Sep that it will introduce complimentary medical insurance for all passengers on all voyages, covering unexpected travel, medical and legal coverage, along with emergency evacuation. … Billionaire tycoon Richard Branson, who never liked cruising, looks to “disrupt” the industry with his Virgin Voyages.
His Scarlet Lady was set for its first US sailing Oct 6th. … More news from Atlas:  This luxurious, adventure, small-ship cruise line is one of the first cruise lines to sail at full capacity after the successful Aug debut of its first ship.  One of the company’s chief executives was one of my 6th grade students in a Hoboken middle school back in the mid 1990s.

Wed Oct 6th Crystal Cruises:  Our dear friend Jim Brochu is aboard the Crystal Symphony, lecturing and adding much joy.  Happily, a message from one of our favorite Broadway & television stars:    “Absolutely wonderful trip so far. The boarding process [at Pier 88, New York] was incredibly easy and took about an hour from start to finish.  Actually, it was very strange to pull up at the pier on a departure day and see no cars in front of us.  There’s 174 people on the ship and everybody has been keeping their social distance to be safe.. But when we all got our negative results [from Bermuda Govt health testing] last night, the festivities broke out and hugs were plentiful. And making things even better — lots of old friends on board.”

Turkey:   The iconic funnel of the Grand Celebration, the former Celebration of Carnival Cruise Lines, came tumbling down this week at a scrap yard at Aliaga in Turkey.

Fri Oct 8th Carnival Cruise Line announced plans for more ship restarts for Jan and Feb, as it works towards the return of its full fleet sailing from U.S. homeports in the spring of 2022.   With 17 ships scheduled to be operating by year-end, the Carnival Sunshine will restart from Charleston on Jan 13th and Carnival Liberty from Port Canaveral on Feb 11th.

More Snippets:  Norwegian Cruise Lines said his full fleet of 28 ships will resume service by Apr 1st for the first time since the Covid pandemic. … Jamaica is eagerly preparing for the resumption of cruise calls by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines beginning in November as well as 110+ planned cruise ship visits from Oct through Apr 2022 by Carnival Cruise Line. … 
Sat Oct 9th More from Carnival:  With half its U.S. fleet back in service and sailing from six U.S. homeports – the most in cruising – Carnival Cruise Line has had an accomplishment-filled three months since resuming guest operations this summer. The company’s restart began on Jul 3rd 2021 when the Carnival Vista set sail from Galveston and since then 10 additional ships have resumed service, carrying 237,000 guests from homeports along the East and West Coasts and the Gulf of Mexico all while guests were devouring nearly half a million Guy Fieri burgers and enjoying 11,000 adrenaline-fueled rides on BOLT, the first roller coaster at sea that debuted on the new Mardi Gras last Jul 31st. But it’s more than just burgers and roller coaster rides, Carnival’s resumption of service has provided much-needed vacations to hundreds of thousands of loyal guests, a boost to the economies in its homeport and port-of-call communities and opportunities for its shipboard team members to support their families in 120 countries around the world.  

Sun Oct 10th Holland America:  Holland America Line is resuming service on the West Coast today as the Koningsdam welcomes guests back in San Diego. After a 19-month operational pause, the 2016-built vessel is starting a week-long California Coast voyage.

Mon Oct 11th Singapore:  Australia has finally announced the softening of some of its travel bans and so the likes of Cunard now plans a special long sailing next winter from Southampton to Singapore by the Queen Elizabeth.  

More Bits’n Pieces:  Ports such as Tampa & San Francisco are now planning resumption of cruise sailings.  … If you’re looking for an aviation-focused adventure, Singapore Airlines might have a good option for you. The airline operates the world’s longest flight, from New York-JFK to Singapore. But throughout the pandemic that 9,537-mile, 19-hour route has largely been off-limits to most travelers. Now, thanks to the recent news about Singapore relaxing entry requirements for vaccinated Americans, the flight is once again within reach for many.  It resumes Oct 19th. … 

Fri Oct 15th Update from Cunard:   A message from our dear & kind friend Capt Aseem Hashmi, master of the Queen Mary 2:  “I am currently aboard QM2 after just returning to the UK shores after a four- week dry dock in Brest (France). The dry dock was mainly for external projects, but the refit internally is in full swing. Almost 400 crew are joining this week so the ship is coming to life again!” 

At the podium:  Tentatively (well, it has to be tentative in these uncertain covid times), I am joining the Crystal Serenity as a speaker on Nov 1st-15th for two seven-night Miami/Bahamas cruises;   and then the Queen Mary 2 for her Christmas-New Year Caribbean cruise departing from New York on Dec 22nd, returning Jan 3rd.

14 October 2021 – San Francisco, CA:  As a wise teacher once said: we need to cultivate an attitude of gratitude every day, in every way. Certainly, no one embodies that more than Ranjan Dey, founder and owner of San Francisco’s historic legacy business, New Delhi Restaurant, the oldest example of Indian Cuisine in the City. On Wednesday, November 3 at 6pm, Ranjan hosts an event whose theme is just that: “Deep Gratitude To You”.  Marking New Delhi Restaurant’s 33rd Anniversary, the evening of food, fun, fabulous music and festivities  will honor three extraordinary “Heroines of Recovery” who demonstrated amazing leadership helping small business recover from the COVID shutdowns: United States Vice-President Kamala Harris, San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed, and attorney Mishty Deb.  Additionally, former SF Mayor Art Agnos will be celebrated as a special “Partner in Compassion.”  Tickets are $ 50 and all proceeds will be donated to the nonprofit Compassionate Chefs Cafe.   The festivities will begin at 6pm with an open bar and buffet of traditional Indian delicacies, a short program at 7pm followed by a special Bollywood dance performance, and lessons for the willing, by Shruthi Reddy. Tickets available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/thanks-for-being-with-us-tickets-167636522351?aff=Emailblast1

“Thank you will never be enough for the many people, including our honorees, who helped us get through COVID. By us, I mean our entire City of San Francisco and very specifically our family here at New Delhi Restaurant,” said Chef Dey, New Delhi owner. “In appreciation we are launching the Live Legends at Compassionate Chefs Cafe 2022 series to give back and enrich the community trough culinary and performance art and story-telling and archive and capture bygone memories.”

The brainchild of Chef Dey and Carmen Milagro Live Legends is an interview series with Bay Area artists and musicians benefitting Compassionate Chefs Café which raises funds to help underprivileged kids right in New Delhi’s neighborhood, the Tenderloin, as well as across the ocean at the three biggest slums opposite Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad, India. Compassionate Chefs Café’s goal and mission is to help the kids become global citizens by connecting them through several ongoing programs.  New Delhi Restaurant has transformed into Compassionate Chefs Café, twice a year in May and November, since 2005.  The inaugural artists for the  Living Legends 2022 series will be announced at the November 3rd event.

“Everyone attending will partake in the delicious story of how the community was always there to help us,” Dey continues. “They will hear about a lawyer who was there to lend us a helping hand all the way from Texas when we were so lost trying to get our PPP and EIDL loans. This happened when I was posting my frustration that the big banks were just facilitating big business. We as a small mixed family immigrant business were just not a priority.”

New Delhi Restaurant has been serving guests from around the world from the same location for over 30 years. It is located in a 100-year-old former hotel ballroom built in 1914. Decorated like a Maharajah’s private banquet room, the restaurant serves cuisine made from recipes culled from the royal Indian menus dating back 300 to 400 years using the freshest local ingredients. Chef and owner, Ranjan Dey, star of the documentary series “MY INDIA”, creates daily specials with his six gourmet spice blends, available nationwide under New World Spices.  New Delhi Bar has been the favorite hot spot for many, working in the downtown restaurant and hotel industry, since its inception in 1988. It is famous for its “Double-Happiness-Happy Hour”: The first from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and the second from 10pm to 12 midnight (“because not everybody works 9 to 5” according to Ranjan.) New Delhi is a great place to try inventive cocktails like Madras Madness or Oh! Calcutta; sip specialty infused Mango or Lychee Martinis and soak up the lively atmosphere and friendly company.

On January 27, 2020, New Delhi Restaurant was proud to be recognized as a Legacy Business: an honor only given to 239 business and the first Indian restaurant and South Asian owned business to be included. San Francisco’s Legacy Business Program acknowledges longstanding and community serving establishments that help make up the “soul of the city” and preserve the unique character of San Francisco.

“Our evening of ‘Deep Gratitude To You’ will be a delicious celebration of the stories of our resiliency,” Dey sums up.  “Through creativity and gratitude we were able to overcome, survive and thrive. This event will feed the body and soul.”

New Gallery in San Francisco’s Castro Neighborhood Premieres with Group Show Featuring Six Artists Who Subvert the Heteronormative Gaze

12 October 2021 – San Francisco, CA: Creative couple and Castro residents,Steffan Schlarb and Brandon Romer, are embarking on a long-hidden dream to help artists and their beloved neighborhood thrive. The husband-and-husband duo are opening an art gallery with an emphasis on queer, underrepresented and emerging art and artists. On Tuesday, October 26 (5pm – 9pm) the couple will open the Schlomer Haus Gallery (2128 Market Street San Francisco) in San Francisco’s storied LGBTQIA Castro neighborhood.  The gallery’s inaugural show, entitled Unseen Seen (IG: schlomer_haus), is an exhibition featuring six international artists: Heather Benjamin, Lanee Bird, Evan Paul English, David King, Ryan McMenamy and John Webster.

“The six artists in this group exhibition explore the dynamic ways queer artists subvert the heteronormative gaze,” said Schlarb in a statement. “The queer gaze and queer visibility are conveyed in diverse mediums, through abstract and figurative subject matter, and shared subcultural signifiers, making the unseen seen.”

“COVID really made us realize the importance of community. Opening Schlomer Haus Gallery is a way for us to foster community while expressing our love of art and our desire to help queer, underrepresented and emerging artists thrive.”

“We could have opened the gallery in another neighborhood with an established art scene,” explains Schlarb. “But we wanted to create a space in the Castro for the unseen to be seen — and where we can help foster artistic creativity and culture in the Castro.” 

Schlarb is an award-winning creative director with extensive innovation, creative strategy and product design experience. He has lead teams of designers in creating innovative and engaging digital products and experiences. He has lead successful projects for such clients as Google,

Salesforce and Open Table, among others. He is also an artist. He has lived in San Francisco since 1992 and the Castro since 2011.

Romer is a film and video producer in the advertising industry for nearly 20 years, producing for Facebook, Twitter and Xbox. He has worked with world-renowned directors Terrence Malick, Rupert Sanders and Jenn Nkiru. He holds a B.A. in Art History from UC Berkeley. He has lived in San Francisco for 20 years and the Castro for 11 years.

In accordance with an order from the San Francisco Department of Public Health, all individuals regardless of vaccination status must wear a mask while inside the gallery.

Unseen Seen will open October 26 – 5-9pm at the Schlomer Haus Gallery  2128 Market Street; Gallery Hours: Tue – Sat 12-6p, By Appointment; IG: schlomer_haus; T: (415) 275-0960; E: info@schlomerhaus.com
