From a Diego River/Frida Kahlo ballet to MTT’s return to S.F. Symphony, there are a lot of great shows to see and hear this weekend.
More than a Bay Area institution, Oakland percussionist John Santos is like a nightclub, library, and righteous protest rolled into a rhythmic current connecting West Africa and the Caribbean to California.
A longtime Freight & Salvage curator who brings spectacular but under-exposed Latin American ensembles to the Berkeley venue, he takes over the Freight stage himself for two nights this weekend with his peerless sextet featuring Dr. John Calloway on flute and percussion, saxophonist Charlie Gurke, bassist Saul Sierra, pianist Marco Diaz, and drummer David Flores.
For Sunday’s “Rhythm and Word” concert the sextet is joined by some of the region’s finest spoken word artists, including Oakland Poet Laureate Ayodele Nzinga, Peruvian-born Adrian Arias, emcee Rico Pabón, and Avotcja .— Andrew Gilbert, CorrespondentRafael Lozano-Hemmer, a media artist born in Mexico and based in Montreal, is obsessed with communication. He once set up stations on either side of the U.S.
Lozano-Hemmer’s visions are the subject of the retrospective “TECHS-MECHS” in the Mission District, itself a hotbed of cross-cultural dialogue. In a funny twist, what looks like a security camera shows videos of people disabling surveillance cameras in Mexico City. A robotic noose twitches every time ICE made an arrest in 2019 .
The show’s dazzling centerpiece is a hanging web of 3,000 light bulbs pulsing to different people’s heartbeats. You can stick your hand under a sensor and have your own pulse sucked into the luminescent network, where it remains part of the artwork until other people eventually push it out.Through May 31; Gray Area gallery, 2665 Mission St., San Francisco; hours are 1-8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday; $20 ; grayarea.org.
