Originally from Pennsylvania, Timothy Buckwalter (born 1966) now lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. He graduated with honors from Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art in 1988. While in art school he was in an incredibly unpopular noise band, and co-organized with Robert Curcio (of Pulse Art Fair fame) their college’s first performance art events. After a brief stint answering phone queries and responding to complaints about art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, he sold his record collection and moved to California. In 2006, after a conversation with Dan Golden about alternatives to the gallery system, Timothy spent the bulk of the year making more than 700 drawings, selling them online through a hugely-popular curated weekly exhibition. His paintings are in numerous corporate collections as well as the holdings of the Oakland Museum of California. Over the last decade, Buckwalter has organized exhibitions online – including Eyebeam’s Add-Art project and SFMOMA’s OpenSpace – as well as in the physical world.

She is part of numerous private and public collections and is the recipient of The Canada Council For The Arts Grant and the Irene Pijoan Memorial Award for Painting. Davis contributes Titian Nymph and Shepherd by Andreadakis, Katya Berger and John Berger This book is first a dialogue between a daughter and a father about life, physical sensation, mortality. Both seem to listen to the other with great attention. Secondly it is the extraordinary vehicle for a series of insights into the everyday life and the art of the great Venetian master, following an uncanny incident at the large exhibition of his work staged in Venice in 1990. While attending the exhibition Katya meets an old man, who she becomes convinced can only be the ghost of the great painter. Her ‘spiritual’ visitor engages her in conversation about the minute particularities of painting some of the pictures there. She shares this experience with her father in a letter. He accepts the encounter at face value and discusses the historical background to the old man’s remarks, seeking answers to a series of evidential questions about his daughter’s encounter. From then on, the three of them, the old painter, the daughter, and the father discuss animals, Greece, fur, sexuality, the strangeness of drawing. www.meldavisstudio.com - [Jon Kuzmich](http://www.archive-project.com/product/jon-kuzmich/) - Jon Kuzmich is an artist, creating labor and process-intensive visual systems that involve the conceptually driven organization of small, synthetic units into large and complex patterns. Kuzmich’s work is often inspired by the fact that our perception as human beings is altered and distorted by our belief in systems that we create (religious, economic, scientific, etc.). By virtue of this distortion, systems change our relationship to the world, manipulate our understanding of reality and influence our relationship to the cosmos. In essence, our belief systems keep us confined within a synthetic, human-created world. Utilizing Op-art, abstraction and conceptual art, Kuzmich considers his work to be representational due to the visual systems and the altered perception of the viewer that illustrates what we see and what we know are questionable. - [Tommy Noonan](http://www.archive-project.com/product/tommy-noonan/) - Tommy Noonan is currently based between Berlin, Germany and Saxapahaw, NC (USA) as a freelance director and performer.

With her newly published book Burning Down the House Bernstein introduces us to youth who have suffered violence and psychological torture at the hands of the state. Too many will never recover from the experience, creating a cycle that leaves the public less safe, not more so. Bernstein presents them all as fully realized people, not victims. As they describe in their own voices their fight to maintain their humanity and protect their individuality in environments that would deny both, the young people offer a hopeful alternative to the doomed effort to reform a system that should only be dismantled.

In the five formative years after graduation Lynch worked as the prop master for a local community theatre, the effects of which are still being realized in his current body of work. His concerns for political conflict and environmental upheaval are filtered through notions of absurdity, hand fabrication and the dramatic devices of storytelling. As a sculptor and performance artist, Lynch has made collaboration and experimentation major components of his practice. Recent projects include Dead Reckoning for Bay Area Now 7 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a residency with the Exploratorium and nest module design for the Cassin’s Auklet on Año Nuevo Island .

At age 21, she knew she wanted to be a community organizer. At 29, she started making art for the first time. Now, her background in organizing combines with her art practice to fuel a keen interest in what she terms aesthetic action. Mary Clare engages with people and material to create objects, performances, and other participatory processes, often in response to dis-connects that exist and carry a power differential. With an aesthetic of relationship at its center, the work goes further, pointing to action that participants might choose in response to changes in thought or feeling that relational experiences might bring. At age 51, Mary Clare completed her MFA at the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (2016).

Recipient of a Lannan Fellowship, a Howard Fellowship, the Kafka Prize for Best Fiction by an American Woman, the Bard Fiction Prize and other citations, she teaches in the UMass Amherst MFA program. Edie Meidav is a student of human bewilderment. In her first novel—about an American called Henry Gould trying to establish a utopian community in the British colony of Ceylon—she’s woven the blundering figure of a holy fool into a bristling tapestry of local life. The Far Field is historical fiction without a shred of nostalgia, and even its sometimes predictable plot is finally justified by Meidav’s scarifying emotional honesty and visceral sense of place. Meidav graduated with a B.A., Yale University, and M.F.A., Mills College. Her fiction, poetry, and criticism have appeared in Writing on Air (MIT Press), On Globalization (MIT Press), Now Write!
