Art Hazelwood: Artist, Impresario, Instigator
Artist
With Klaus Rotzscher of Pettingell Bookbindery Hazelwood created an
opera in a box, Tora
Bora, based on the Afghan war. In 2010 Hazelwood was invited to create
a print for Philagrafika and
city wide print event in Philadelphia. He completed two ceramic tile
murals in 2009, one, a memorial to Arnett
Watson, a homeless rights
activist, the other in a program to support youth
of incarcerated parents at Visitacion
Valley Middle School in San Francisco.
His show of prints, Hubris
Corpulentus, about the current US wars,
traveled to several venues around the country from 2003 to 2006. He
created three
large scale book projects with print publisher Eastside
Editions in
San Francisco. Each of these book projects took two years to complete.
His prints and books are in
several public collections including the Whitney Museum of American
Art, New York Public Library, Library of Congress, RSDI Museum, Stanford
Special
Collections Library, Yale Special Collections Library and University
of California Santa Cruz.
Instigator
2012 started as a great year for political posters... but it didn't end so well. Art Hazelwood worked on Occupy posters and helped with the Occuprint Portfolio. In 2011 Along with Francisco Dominguez and Doug Minkler, Hazelwood
organized a traveling exhibition on the US Mexico Border wall called
New
World Border.
Since 1993 he has worked
with several
homeless rights organizations creating artwork for street newspapers,
creating posters and helping
to organize fundraising events, most notably the Coalition on Homelessness and its Street Sheet as well as WRAP. In 2008, together with Stephen
Fredericks of the New York Society of Etchers, he organized the Art
of Democracy a national coalition, producing more than
one hundred political posters and bringing together more than fifty
political art shows taking place all over the country leading up to
the presidential elections.
Impressario

Extremis: Prints Monumental, Intimate and Encompassing at
the Meridian Gallery in San Francisco featuered the work of more than
30 contemporary artists and
artist groups. He also curated Between Struggle and Hope: Envisioning
a Democratic Art in the 1930s, de Saisset Museum - July 29 – December
4, 2011 In 2009 he curated three
major exhibitions. The first, Hobos
to Street People, a four year
traveling exhibition which examines artists’ responses
to homelessness from the New Deal to the present, opened at the California
Historical Society in San Francisco. He also curated a history of the
relief print
in Northern
California; California in Relief, nearly
one hundred woodcuts, linocuts and wood engravings over a one hundred
year span, at the Hearst Art
Gallery, St. Mary’s
College in Moraga, California. And he curated a retrospective of slain
artist Casper Banjo at the Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco.
He has organized more than 20 group exhibitions and curated
shows for individual artists including retrospectives of several artists
including William Wolff,
