the distance. In another is an island, conveying stillness, immeasurable space and a humans perspective on it. I asked Welsh how surfing influenced his work.

When you surf you are generally facing away from the land, staring out into a vast empty space, waiting and anticipating the next set of waves, he said. I am trying to capture that sense of space and anticipation: symbolically, the idea of facing the future, wondering what is going to happen next and the anxiety that goes

along with that. Surfing didnt have a direct inf luence on much of my past artwork, but surfing always inf luences how I feel, and helps me have a positive attitude about my life.

Washing Things Away, Bringing Things Back

Deeper in the gallery, two arresting paintings by Howard Kaneg bespeak this artists connection with the ocean.

&j1=D3@AB=@G april 7-14, 2010 A/ 3 /9 3 F > 3 @ 7 3

Packed with imagerywater towers, trails of cartoony ants, ripples and roads, listing diagonals of graceful bamboo branches, Japanese characters, calligraphically painted trees, busy clouds of charming f lies over f loating f lowersthe complexity of content is organized within a fascinating surface using both transparency and opacity, a sense of watery, deep images almost lost beneath the surface. I asked him about the process.

With the paintings years in the making, Kaneg works to keep each one open. He says he starts out with lines, then applies an acrylic wash followed by a medium that pushes some areas back. Then the action starts. Sometimes I bring forward what the medium pushed back, he says. Its hard to push away images that I think are pretty, or goodhard to let go, but I trust theyll come forward again.

Ive spent 50 years surfing, staring at the water, water covering my eyes, he continues. When I begin to compose a painting I stare at and enter that space with single-pointedness. After so much water in my life, I see it washing things away and bringing things back. The movement in my work is pretty much thatlike life itself.

Ea Eckermans giant wave of tree branches crests above the MAH staircase, while Don Fritzs 122 rakud ceramic tiles bespeak nothing of the water but everything of a playful look at life. Christian Zajac paints us into an impressionistic rising swell, while Morning Paddle by Reid Winfrey takes us along in the mist. A Whos Who of surf photographers fills the ArtForum gallery. The familiar locations show just how close the sport is to life atop the cliffs of Santa Cruz. One memorable Randy Brown shot of Russell Smith at Mavericks finds the yellow-clad surfer plunging down an icy green cliff of water into the blue.

Right now at conferences all over the world, curators are discussing how museums can be more relevant to their audiences: How to sound the right note, excite popular enthusiasm while educating, maintaining standards and drawing people back again in the future. This time MAH has found a clear note that rings like a gong.

equipment, Griffin says, and everyone in the band is well-equipped to play in that style, so we decided to record it.

The response to Downtown Church has been positive, but Griffin wouldnt know it. Specifically on this record, Im not reading reviews, she says, and reiterates that she feels a bit out of her depth singing gospel. Seems, however, that shes the only one who thinks so, as Downtown Church hit No. 1 on Billboards Folk Album chart, and has stayed in the Top 5 for the last seven weeks. For Griffin, the project was an opportunity to challenge herself and try something new. I wanted a chance to learn some things, she says. Ill leave it there and hope for the best.

American roots and vocal group styles to Hispanic traditional numbers, plus some old-school Gods-gonna-get-you gospel, and two Griffin originals. Downtown Church also features some big-time guest vocalists, including Buddys wife, Julie Miller, Emmylou Harris, Raul Malo, Shawn Colvin and Ann and Regina McCrary, whose father, Samuel McCrary, was a founding member of the legendary gospel group the Fairfield Four.

The song Deaths Got a Warrant, with lines like Gods got your number/ He knows where you live, is among Griffins favorites on the album. Death does have a warrant for you, she says, but we live most of our days not acknowledging that fact. The original version is much spookier than mine, though, she says with a laugh. Its three wizened old women singing about what they know. Its a warning.

The surprise inclusion of the foot-stomping blues number I Smell a Rat adds a healthy dose of skepticism to the otherwise praise-heavy album. Buddy kept playing that song throughout the week while we were changing

the best part of Buddy is that hes a great human being, a joy to be around. The fact that they recorded the entire album in one week is a testament to Millers vision and experience. Buddy made us work really hard, says Griffin, and we didnt mind.

In the spirit of the project, Griffin wanted to record the album in a church. She thought Miller would find a little country church somewhere, but he was able to secure the Downtown Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tenn., an architectural anomaly built in 1849 in the Egyptian Revival style. The church was incredible, says Griffin, who recorded her vocals from the pulpit. Its over 150 years old and was a hospital for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Theres an incredible, heavy vibe there. I didnt want to leave.

A self-described lapsed Catholic, Griffin wanted the album to include sacred material from a variety of cultures. I tried to fish around in different traditions, she says. I even talked to a rabbi and tried to get some Hebrew music, but I didnt have time to learn how to do it properly. The final collection of songs ranges from

AC>3@AC193@AThough many of their grunge-era peers have been gone long enough to launch nostalgic reunion tours, the sardonic Supersuckers have never had much use for that sort of thing. Instead, the band has exhibited the persistence of the cockroach, stubbornly following its own idiosyncratic muse long after its original habitat vanished. Reveling in good-time Stonesy stomp when the mode of the day was self-pitying dirges, or tongue-in-cheek country when their peers were becoming alt-radio stars, the Supersuckers have remained true to their vision throughout. And even if that has limited their commercial appeal, its kept them relevant and vital while other bands their age have quietly faded away. Catalyst; $12 adv/$16 door; 9pm. (PMD)

to co-write some songs with them. They recently laid down the tracks in Austin and are playing a select number of shows with bass virtuoso Reed Mathis and multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard in advance of their forthcoming album, a collection of funky and fiery songs featuring some Grateful Dead favorites, some Papa Mali originals and a few tunes from New Orleans. Moes Alley; $25 adv/$30 door; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

:=A:=0=AThe wolves of East L.A. are still trotting the globe with an endurance that rivals infamously long-lived bands such as Aerosmith and U2. Releasing albums since the days of Jimmy Carter, the Mexican-American rock band has aged like a fine wine, staying true to its bluesy style of barrio rock. The quintets latest album, The Town and the City, will fuel its tour across California and overseas with an impressive mix of blues guitar licks, smoky vocals and traditional cumbia drum rhythms. Deviating from common rock & roll themes, the album is a collection of subdued ballads that bristle with the harsh realities of immigrant life. Mello Center, Watsonville; $29.50; 7pm.

Film.

Bargain-matinee filler, then, but the inevitable Christianizing has gone down. No multiculti Ray Harryhausen here: the remake is more Cecil B. DeMille punishing the impious. One god (Neesons Zeus) predominates; the rest of the pagan gods hang around the Dubai-oid Mt. Olympus with their hands in their togas. Evil Hades is responsible for all the mayhem.

Rather than damning the gods, its clear that mans lack of prayers started it all. Why is man warring on Zeus? Clash doesnt sayno famines, droughts, etc. And theres no chess game between the gods and the out-of-sight, theologically confusing goddesses. No disturbance, then, to the pimps-up, hos-down, manly-man cinema of 2010. Youve seen more unfettered paganism at a Unitarian potluck.

Clash of the Titans has it all:

my name is Tatania, etc., etc. After our meal, we lingered a while

at the new Davenport Gallery next door, where we got an eyeful of skillful paintings and sculpture by some top local artists. Breakfast, the Davenport cliffs and springtimeyes, sometimes it does all make sense. Im thinking that the Roadhouse Breakfast Burrito, full of sausage, black beans, potatoes and salsa all wrapped up in a big f lour tortilla, might just be my next Sunday breakfast at the Roadhouse.

what I had hoped for. Golden and tender, they were a far cry from the usual fat, Michelin tiresized mats of dough that pass as pancakes at most breakfast palaces. With them a little pitcher of pure maple syrup came, not cold, but slightly warmer than room temperature, and a fat square of butter.

Everything worked, including the delicious bacon, three pieces, very lean. Ive always looked forward to the exciting f lavor tension between the saltiness of bacon and the pungent sweetness of maple syrup. And I got it all in this order. The pancakes were memorable, and while they didnt make much f lavor sense with the Bloody Mary, (1) I didnt care, and (2) thats where the very fine coffee came in.

Our server was as fresh and awake as the meal itselfattentive, swift to bring extra this and that, and yet neither hovering nor precious, as in
