| Abstract | A 2002 cover story for the San Francisco Bay Guardian codified a group of local artists that included Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, and Chris Johanson into a Bay Area art movement inextricably tethered to the neighborhood in which they lived, worked, and cultivated their artistic practices. While the Mission was being hit by a tidal wave of redevelopment and gentrification as a result of the city’s dot-com boom, Mission School artists and other cultural producers in the neighborhood were initiating and participating in a succession of grassroots, alternative exhibition spaces, publications, acts of creative resistance, and community-making endeavors aimed at cultivating a culture based on an ethos of resourcefulness, collectivity, and self-support. This thesis will trace the constellation of key sites of production and exhibition through which the Mission School artists moved during the turbulent 1990s in order to bring into focus the cultural landscape of the neighborhood and community that functioned as a “signal of aesthetic value” not only for Mission School artists, but for the plurality of artists who were living and working in the Mission. |
