Mission Detritus 2002
The streets are the stuff that art is made of in "Mission Detritus." Acrylic housepaint, plywood planks, graffiti tags and discarded library books all find their way into this streetwise group show. The art on display reflects the striking individuality you'd encounter on a Mission sidewalk, but also delivers a welcome collective catharsis for the economic, environmental and personal pressures of urban living.

Gallery Spotlight
"If the hookers and dealers lurking around San Francisco's never-a-dull-moment Mission District can't reel you in, maybe Culture Cache can. Since April of 2000, it's been the newest neighborhood venue for emerging Bay Area artists and art mongers. Every square foot of the spread reflects visionary owner Miranda Gill's penchant for saturated color and streetwise style. Gill has already attracted a sizable following for her support of girlie wonders Isabel Samaras and Maya Hayuk, Bay Area graffiti favorites Mars and Estria, and many other infectious painters who are taking advantage of the new millennium to wipe the art slate clean and turn audiences on to a new brand of visual stimulation. With special opening perks like tagging walls and local DJ's Culture Cache is transforming scores of stuffy fine art fans into lowbrow devotees."

Cache Props
Of the tiny handful of art galleries supporting graffiti and illustration art in the U.S. today, Culture Cache Gallery is blazing the trail for an entirely new kind of art experience. Owner Miranda Gill believes in adding techno and experimental music to the mix.

For Gill, urban art "reflects the energy of the street, the artistic elements that surround us as we move throughÉ the urban core." She supports local graffiti artists Estria, Vogue, Mars, Maya Hayuk and local skater/artist Lucian Moon among several others. Read More...
