SUMMARY:NEA Big Read "Interior Chinatown" Grand Finale with Chef Martin Yan
DESCRIPTION:Join Mechanics’ Institute for the finale of our 10 month NEA Big Read series inspired by the themes from Interior Chinatown by author Charles Yu.

We explored the vibrant community and traditions of Chinatown\, forged new collaborations with our local cosponsors\, and hosted engaging author events\, panel discussions\, and film series. We also enjoyed onsite visits to art exhibits and a film festival. \nInternationally renowned celebrity Chef Martin Yan brings this all together! The evening opens with a special cooking demonstration by master Chef Yan. He will share his personal Chinese-American immigrant story from his first beginnings in the food industry to his world famous televised cooking show\, to his current educational film projects and his advocacy for Chinatowns—in San Francisco and across the country.

SUMMARY:Fifty Years in the Making: A Reprise by John A. Lehner of the 1970 Decorative Designers Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In 1970 John A. Lehner attended The Decorative Designers Exhibition and was captivated by the originality and variety of The Decorative Designers’ work. The Decorative Designers operated as a firm\, as opposed to individual artists\, to present publishers with designs hand-painted onto the cloth that would be used in production\, thus giving a clearer representation of the finished product. Lehner spent the next fifty years on a quest to collect all sixty-one books that were on exhibit. On display at the Book Club are all sixty-one of the books that were featured in the 1970 Decorative Designers Exhibition plus an additional thirteen books from The Decorative Designers. \nThe Exhibition will be on view July 10\, 2023 through October 23\, 2023. \nExhibition opening and remarks by John A. Lehner\, book collector and retired aerospace engineer

SUMMARY:Working With CSS Doesn’t Have To Make You Cry
DESCRIPTION:with Chen Hui Jing\nIn this Letterform Lecture\, explore the pitfalls and joys of typesetting with CSS.\nA somewhat common scenario when it comes to web design is that of a designer handing over their painstakingly pixel-perfect mockups to a developer and experiencing the five stages of grief when they see the end result. This lecture will try to reconcile the two worlds by presenting a developer’s side of the story. \nOccasionally\, the designer’s work is being implemented by a developer who is not particularly aware of the intricacies of design. Often\, there is a misunderstanding of the capabilities and behaviors of what is possible on the web. We will cover an overview of web typography\, what is possible today with CSS versus the limitations of web platforms\, and what might lie ahead. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a work of historical fiction came to define how we understand southern California’s past. \nDydia DeLyser is Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton. A native Californian\, she began researching the “Ramona Myth” as an undergraduate at UCLA. Her book\, “Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California” (University of Minnesota Press\, 2005) is the only scholarly\, book-length treatment of this important element of southern California’s past. Her research\, based on obscure archival sources as well as a growing personal collection of Ramona-related tourist souvenirs\, revealed that it was not the promoters and boosters who first fabulated Ramona-related attractions\, but the tourists themselves who demanded that Ramona locales become visitable tourist sites\, thus reshaping not only the region’s landscape\, but also how generations have thought about its past. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\,

Even tamaleras with only a table and a pot had to paint everything plain white and stencil the municipality’s logo in blue. \nOvernight\, what millions of other chilangos walking across the busy city streets always thought was a given\, a part of their everyday background\, was gone. Why were these Rótulos removed while the ones on buildings remained? Why\, after a year in an ever-evolving city with bustling street commerce\, are they not back? And why are so many people sad about it? \nJoin Romina Hernández for a journey through a collection of amazing and overlooked Rótulos from México City and beyond. Explore why some folks chose to put paint on their walls instead of vinyl and how sign painting in México can be both an endangered craft and a relevant everyday activity. \n\nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:A Maker of Books: Alec Bolton and his Brindabella Press
DESCRIPTION:Australia has a long history of fine printing\, which is mostly unknown outside of the country itself. ‘Printing is like religion’\, acclaimed Australian book artist Alec Bolton once said\, ‘We live in sin\, but with the hope of perfection before us.’ And while his life circled around books and writing generally\, it was his private press\, the Brindabella Press\, that won him acclaim as an Australian book arts practitioner from the 1970s until his death in 1996. Starting with one-page poems and pamphlets\, he quickly moved on to hardback and then hand-bound titles\, and sought always to print books that were both beautiful and meaningful. His editions of significant Australian writers such as Barbara Hanrahan\, Les A. Murray and Kenneth Slessor are now scarce and sought after. However\, despite these author’s importance at the heart of everything was the distinguished poet Rosemary Dobson\, his wife\, who first suggested he take up letterpress printing and who wrote three of the Press’s most beloved books. \nMichael Richards’s book contains both a comprehensive bibliography of the Brindabella Press\, as well as an account of a passionate Australian mainstream publisher and the hand-printed books he made for himself and his friends in the last decades of the twentieth century\, keeping alive letterpress skills that were being swept away by constant changes in the printing industry. \nA virtual presentation by Michael Richards\, author\, librarian\, historian\, bookseller\, and book collector

SUMMARY:From the Bench of Nicholas Cladis
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Nicholas Cladis\nEvent Type: General event\nStart: August 3rd\, 2023 12:30 PM\nEnd: August 3rd\, 2023 1:00 PM\nSessions: 1\nIn-person or Online?: Online\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to From the Bench\, SFCB’s series of short studio tours with friends near and far. From favorite tools to works in progress\, you never know what you’ll learn about from these amazing artists. \nThis month we’ll chat with papermaker Nicholas Cladis. Nicholas is the papermaking specialist at the University of Iowa Center for the Book\, where he lectures and manages the Oakdale paper research facility. Nicholas is an active researcher and practitioner of traditional and non-traditional papermaking processes. For six years he lived and worked in Echizen\, Japan — an area with over 1\,500 years of papermaking history — and continues to maintain an active relationship with the papermaking community there. Nicholas’ studio work responds to the discipline of papermaking itself\, thereby engaging with aesthetics\, time\, material\, movement\, and personal narrative. His site-specific installations frequently appear in alternative exhibition spaces such as repurposed storehouses and barns\, where the work lives in realms of natural light and shadow. \nYou can see some of his work at his website\, nicholascladis.com

SUMMARY:Academy Meets the Street: Radical Journal Design and The Black Scholar
DESCRIPTION:with Amy Papaelias\, Jessica Barness\nThis lecture explores the visual and printed history of a radical academic journal launched after the ’68–’69 SF State student strikes.\n  \nThe Black Scholar: Journal of Black Studies and Research\, launched in 1969 and first printed by Graphic Arts of Marin\, was a self-proclaimed radical academic journal dedicating itself to “uniting the academy and the street” in the growing discipline of Black Studies. In this lecture\, we discuss the journal’s visual and printed history\, with a broad examination of the term “radical scholarship” and its relationship to the publishing and design of new academic journals. \nFurther\, we will look at twentieth-century intellectual periodicals to contextualize the early visual design and mission of The Black Scholar\, which remains a leading publication in the discipline. By studying the journal’s unique collaborations between the editors\, contributors\, and printers\, we explore how the design of scholarly journals helps legitimize emerging disciplines and create a distinctive visual language of their own.​​ \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all. \n  \nAmy Papaelias is an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at SUNY New Paltz. Her research focuses on the intersection of typography\, technology\, and culture. \n  \nJessica Barness is a Professor in the School of Visual Communication Design at Kent State University. Her research focuses on the dynamics of design discourse\, interactive platforms\, and critical practices of design research. \nTogether\, their ongoing collaborative research project\, What Scholarship Looks Like\, explores the visual design of academic journals across disciplines and the impact of journal design on academic culture. They co-edited the special issue of Visible Language\, Critical Making: Design and the Digital Humanities (49.3\, 2015)\, which received the 2017 Design Incubation Communication Design Educators Award for Published Research. They have presented their work at College Art Association Conference (2020)\, American Printing History Association Conference (2019)\, and the AIGA Design Educators Conference (2018) and have published articles in She Ji: The Journal of Design\, Economics\, and Innovation (2021)\, Visual Anthropology Review (2021)\, and Sciences du Design (2019).

SUMMARY:Companions of Minds and Books: H.H. and Matilda Bancroft in Their Literary Industries
DESCRIPTION:Kim Bancroft will discuss the legacy of her great-great-grandparents\, H.H. Bancroft\, historian of the West and founder of The Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley\, and his second wife\, Matilda Bancroft\, a writer and historian in her own right. \nAfter marrying H.H. in 1859\, Emily wrote voluminous letters from San Francisco to her family in Buffalo in the 1860s. Seven years after Emily died in 1869\, H.H. married Matilda\, who composed volumes of diaries and letters from 1876-1910\, along with oral histories. \nKim Bancroft’s book “Writing Themselves into History: Emily and Matilda Bancroft in Journals and Letters” highlights piquant details from these women’s writing\, noting political and cultural changes during those years\, as well as race\, class\, and gender differences underlying Emily and Matilda’s social observations. These women also captured the private life of a man who would become a very public figure through his writing and library. \nIn particular\, Matilda relished her ability to participate in her husband’s book-making efforts. With him\, she traveled to collect documents and stories regarding those who had settled the West and its multitudes of commerce\, cultures\, and government. Matilda learned how to edit her husband’s writing. Her work also found its way into his books\, with both her own writings and the oral histories she took. \nIn her presentation\, Kim Bancroft will focus on this remarkable couple’s companionship of shared ideals and ambitions in telling the story of the West\, though from very different perspectives\, one a public man\, the other a private woman. How these two writers of different natures contributed to literary life in California and beyond—with plentiful challenges and controversies—makes for an engaging story. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Kim Bancroft\, author and editor
