Description
Original program notes: Trespassing Sign | A Multimedia Presentation on Hobo Subculture | Weds June 30 1999 With filmmaker Bill Daniel and painter Margaret Kilgallen Inspired by their shared interest in hobo folklore, experimental filmmaker Bill Daniel and painter Margaret Kilgallen will deliver a multimedia presentation on train yard subculture – a world of tramps, freight-hopping, graffiti, and oral tradition – and its influence in their own creative work. Focusing on train yard trespassing, Daniel and Kilgallen will reveal the signs, paths, and secret egresses that facilitate access to these run-down sites located on the fringe of industrial properties. Texas-based filmmaker and current Artist in Residence Bill Daniel is currently developing a documentary examining how graffiti and oral history create identity within the hobo subculture. Daniel’s films have been screened at venues nationwide including Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the LA Film Forum. Margaret Kilgallen’s work is influenced by her experience with book making and her observations of communication through lettering, signs and markings. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at the Drawing Center in NYC, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the Luggage Store Gallery in SF.
