    Room for Big Ideas
    Derick Ion
    Oct 14, 2011 – Jan 29, 2012
    Room for Big Ideas

    YBCA welcomes Bay Area photographer and installation artist Derick Ion to the Room for Big Ideas. His installation transforms the RBI into a meditative and sensual environment rich in symbology, Jainist iconography, and Subcontinental texture. Complementing and contrasting YBCA's large first floor exhibition, The Matter Within: New Contemporary Art of India, the ephemera and minutiae displayed in Ion's space reflect another contemporary – and timeless – perspective on India.

    29th Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival
    Mose Allison

    Iconic pianist, singer and composer Mose Allison is nearly 84, but the inveterate social critic doesn’t seem to mellow with time. His gift for piercing satire has provided Allison with a trunk full of classic songs as sharp and relevant today as when he wrote them. He gained notice as a pianist backing saxophone greats Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Al Cohn and has since carved out a singular niche performing original songs and swinging Delta blues, while influencing generations of other musicians. Though notable artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Van Morrison, The Clash and The Who have covered his tunes, Allison remains the best interpreter of his own work. He’s recorded over 30 albums across five decades and recently released another critically hailed CD, The Way of the World.
