"I hope to draw our attention to the threads with which our very
social fabric is bound and fashioned."

On Friday, January 20, 2005, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi hosts the
monthly Third Friday's Art Reception in his City Hall office, Room
282. This month's featured artist is Andy Diaz Hope.

Andy Diaz Hope, a Bay Area native, questions the stereotypes and
cliches circulated by popular media. By refabricating the form in
which we sustain our self-image and protect ourselves from our image
as an enemy, Diaz Hope wants to draw our attention to the threads
with which our very social fabric is bound and fashioned. Often funny
and always telling, his work permits candid interactions to
deconstruct our stereotypes, prejudices and preconceived notions, be
they conscious or not.

Diaz Hope has shown his work in the MoMA permanent collection, the
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, the National Gallery of Victoria
in Australia, and the London Crafts Counsil, as well as in numerous
shows throughout the United States, England, Australia and Japan. You
