ILLUSION 5 – FUERA DEL BARRIO – BEYOND OUR BLOCK, two afternoon events, invites artists from all mediums to come and engage in collective creation. The theatre of process is shared with the public, from children to adults, who is presented the opportunity to leave the realm of the audience.
The site of Illusion is totally wrapped in white paper readdressing all surfaces as an opportunity for new making without coordinates.

Illusion is a moment of energetic, public happening. Artists arrive with suitcase-in-hand, dressed in white, ready for an exchange of experience, interpretation, and entertainment between themselves and public.

Every ILLUSION SHOW have a theme, offered as a design parameter to the invited artists and word play ensues. The event is ludic, live-action, a call to community, spectacle, an improvised play, an invitation to start from nothing, engage with all the art forms, and hold the experience as artifact.

In the past four years we have utilized more than 120 artists, in different disciplines including: live painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, video, photography, music, poetry, dance, puppet making, body painting and performance.
The artists work for 4 hours. At the closing, they will have developed a very special space full of the energy of creation in the once pristine white spaces.
ILLUSION show was created in the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in 2002 thanks to the support and vision of board members and MCCLA staff member who support the idea of the visual artist and poet Adrian Arias in create a new space of interaction and the unique moment of creation of the artists working individually and in group. Adrian was helped for artists and volunteers of the community.

PIAZZONI ROOM
special painting performance by Mona Caron
- statement -
Expanding the theme of being “outside one’s ’hood” SF muralist Mona Caron will be creating an homage and response to Gottardo Piazzoni’s murals, showcased in this room.
The serene, expansive California landscapes depicted by Piazzoni, characterized by their strong horizontality and sparse beauty, stand in stark contrast to the extreme verticality of the topography in Piazzoni’s native land, the Centovalli region in the Italian-speaking canton of Switzerland.
SF artist and muralist Mona Caron was born and spent the first two decades of her life in the very same small mountain village (Intragna, population ~800) where Piazzoni was born. Both artists, roughly 80 years apart, emigrated to San Francisco where they became mural artists.
Mona Caron will be creating 5 paintings depicting the memory of home that she shares with Piazzoni.
All the landscapes will be specifically of Intragna, showing the canyons surrounding the steep hill that the village sits on, and the 7 bridges leading to the village.
Mona Caron work at ILLUSION 3:
