Programming
Art Market’s projects and events include presentations, talks, demonstrations, and performances given by a variety of art professionals, and are FREE to attend with admission.
I immensely enjoyed the projects this year. TNT Traysikel by Michael Arcega and Paolo Asuncion is a traysikel (a small motorized vehicle with a passenger cab attached to it commonly driven in the Philippines) with a karaoke system. I originally saw the TNT Traysikel when it was part of the Carlos Villa: Worlds In Collision show at the Asian Art Museum last year, which was an EXCELLENT show, but to see it in LIVE KARAOKE action was phenomenal!

IN/VERSE, located in the entryway of the exhibition hall, by Sasha Styles/Technelegy, a language artist incorporating AI into her work, seemed especially relevant with the advent and recent attention surrounding artificial intelligence and ChatGPT.

Vendors
An assortment of art-inspired merch is featured in the Open Editions pop-up shop, whose brick and mortar is located in San Francisco’s Mission District
Food and drink vendors this year included El Huarache Loco (terrific tacos and salads from the Larkspur Landing restaurant) and Grand Lake Cocktails (crafted cocktails from Oakland’s Grand Lake Kitchen, another local eatery I enjoy). Seating is upstairs (also includes a bar) towards the rear of the exhibition hall, near the El Huarache Loco stand.
