04/14/2012 - 'Voices of Youth': An Evening Presentation with Michael Meade,

Amidst economic uncertainties, cultural confusion and the fraying of the
web of nature, the importance of youthful imagination and genuine education
can be lost. As culture in general suffers a deprivation of vital
imagination, young people can feel less needed, less valued, and more at
risk.



This event serves as a community forum in which the voices, feelings,
imagination, and aspirations of diverse youth are recognized and
celebrated. The presentation follows an intensive retreat in which students
and “at-risk youth” study and practice traditional arts and write of
their life-forming and life-threatening experiences.



Please join us for this event in which a “sudden community” forms to
recognize and celebrate the voices of youth and young mentors and the
innate imagination and essential spirit that inspires genuine culture keeps
the elders “young at heart.”

“Hot Chicks and Homeless Peeps,” takes risks with the borders of the
acceptable and the risqué. 



About Artist Ange McLane 
Born in Mexico City to a Mexican mother and American father, Ange McLane
grew up first below the border, and then above, in Texasￜ"finally
choosing to make her home in the Bay Area, in 2005. Her experience of the
two cultures, and an early exposure to art-making, heavily influence her
current photographic work.



Ange began carrying a camera with her daily at the age of 8, photographing
her friends as well as her own installation art work, which was comprised
at the time of doll nativity scenes and modeling clay cities.
In college, Ange pursued Advertising at the Universidad de la Comunicacion
in Mexico City, Art History at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, TX,
and Fine Art Photography at the Glassell School of Art in Houston. More
recently, she studied Digital Photo-Montage and Experimental Film at the
San Francisco Art Institute. 



“Hot Chicks and Homeless Peeps,” takes risks with the borders of the
acceptable and the risqué. Her subjects are not overtly sexy, nor overtly
subjugated. They are complicit with the act of being photographed. She
captures each one’s subtle essence, inviting their revelations, whether
in flesh made visible through lingerie, or in personal message exposed via
cardboard and marker.



She says, “I am interested in the sensuality of the image, the bold
colors, not just in a visual way, but in a contextual way. I enjoy when an
image brings together a balance in light and dark and bold color.” 


Of her series of street photographs, Ange describes, “Seven years ago,
while I was studying at the Glassell School of Art, I frequently ventured
into downtown Houston-this was pre-gentrification-with my camera. I was
meeting people that were living on the streets, talking to them. I would
buy them beer or cigarettes and we would talk about their lives. I started
to carry cardboard and markers with me. And I would invite them to share
their real message with the world. This was way before the time of Facebook
and smart phones, way before anyone was carrying a camera and posting their
thoughts with apps.” 



Regarding the juxtaposition of the two groups of subjects, Ange’s work
invites the viewer to question assumptions. She says, “With the homeless,
I wanted to portray that beauty and that fight. And when it comes to the
girls, it’s not slutty - they’re just feminine.” 
The collection of images in “Hot Chicks and Homeless People” bears
witness to Ange’s natural affinity to bold colors, architectural
composition, and edgy, thought-provoking themes.
