Our Correspondents: San Francisco:

Aaron Ximm & Ralph Rugoff

Hosted by Tania Ketenjian

Bay Area correspondent Tania Ketenjian opens the debut show of her program with a visit to the quiet storm of sound artist Aaron Ximm, host of San Francisco's weekly "Field Effects" concert series—flush with his field recordings—and Ralph Rugoff, curator of "Baja to Vancouver: The West Coast and Contemporary Art" at the California College of the Arts, which not only dares to reopen the East Coast/West Coast divide but attempts to redefine "regional" contemporary art in a global culture.
