On the evening of January 20th we will release the long awaited book,
These Are The People In Your Neighborhood. The book chronicles the seminal
years of Gallery 16’s innovative exhibition space and publishing program.
Over 70 artists are included and all are invited to participate in the book signing.
Scientists tell us this collection of talent in one location will create enough energy
to change liquid to gas.

Book Release:

These Are The People In Your Neighborhood chronicles the seminal years of
Gallery 16’s innovative exhibition space and publishing program in San
Francisco. The gallery was founded in the early nineties by artist Griff
Williams. At the time of the gallery’s founding, San Francisco was on the
verge of the dot com boom and the Bay Area was at the center of
technological innovation. At this nexus, Gallery 16 and its companion fine
art press Urban Digital Color began a remarkable and groundbreaking
project. The marriage of art and technology that defined the business
relationship between Gallery 16 and UDC also came to define a new and
pioneering concept in art funding.

The book includes essays by Maria Porges, Glen Helfand and Mark VanProyen.
Hardcover with 228 full color pages, the book features over 70 artists
including William Kentridge, Mark Grotjahn, Rex Ray, Xylor Jane, Arturo
Herrera, Jim Isermann, Michelle Grabner, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Deborah
Oropallo, Harrell Fletcher, Shaun O’Dell, Darren Waterston, Libby Black,
and many others.
