Item Description
Requiem 23 (from the Bay Bridge Project) Gouache, graphite, acrylic and ink on paper (2003) measuring 7.25" wide x 10.25" long, unframed.
Hughen/Starkweather is the collaboration of San Francisco artists Jennifer Starkweather -- one of Urban's very own art teachers! -- and Amanda Hughen, who have worked as a team since 2006. Together they create research-based, abstract artworks about specific topics or locations, looking at the intersection of the natural and built environment. Each project begins with intensive research, including maps, photographs, data, and interviews with community members. The resulting drawings and paintings reinterpret complex narratives, creating new and unexpected forms. Requiem 23 was part of a project called Approach, Transition, Touchdown which focused on the historical and most recent construction of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
Hughen/Starkweather have exhibited widely, including the Asian Art Museum (SF), the Public Policy Institute of California (SF), University of San Francisco, and the Contemporary Jewish Museum (SF). Their commission to create a permanent public artwork embedded in the glass exterior and roof deck of the Union Square Central Subway Station in downtown San Francisco will open in 2020. Hughen received an MFA from UC Berkeley and has been an artist-in-residence at the DeYoung Museum of Art (CA), the Headlands Center for the Arts (CA), Oxbow (CA), and Yaddo (NY). Starkweather received an MFA from Tyler School of Art (PA) and has been an artist-in-residence at Ucross (WY), Skowhegan (ME), Oxbow (CA), and Ragdale (IL).
