Minette Lee Mangahas is a visual and performing artist who studied with the eminent Japanese Zen calligrapher Kazuaki Tanahashi for seven years. She applies the playfulness, spiritual philosophy and physical discipline of calligraphic painting to creating multi-media works that explore personal experiences of hybridity and freedom. Often incorporating a musical dimension to her work, she has created paintings and installations that have been the basis for original compositions and performances by artists such as the Somei Yoshino Taiko Ensemble and Gautam Tejas Ganeshan, Director of the Sangati Center for South Asian Music. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area and abroad, recently as a guest at the 2007 Fadao Festival for Dance and Urban Art at the Museo de Arte y Diseño Contemporáneo in Costa Rica.
Ricardo Richey has explored abstract letter forms for the past six years. His findings have resulted in site-specific installations and paintings in the form of public murals and exhibitions in galleries such as the Luggage Store Annex, Intersection for the Arts and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Known as Apex to the graffiti world, he has curated the on-going graffiti mural projects on Bluxome Alley and parts of San Francisco. Part of the Gestalt Collective, he is also engaged in creating 3-dimensional interpretations of graffiti forms.
