The Farm 51 is a Polish video game developer founded in 2005 by three industry veterans, Wojciech Pazdur, Kamil Bilczyński (both have previously worked on the Painkiller series at People Can Fly) and Robert Siejka (former president of 3D Magazine). Originally, the company did some outsourcing contracts work for other studios, but then gathered enough IP to get funding from 1C Company for their 2009 debut project, NecroVisioN, and then its prequel, NecroVisioN: Lost Company. They were initially working on City Interactive's Alien Fear, but are no longer involved with the project. Their latest game, Deadfall Adventures, released on November 15, 2013. Currently they are working on a new IP called Get Even, which is slated for a 2016 release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The Farm, also known as Crossroads Community, located at the corner of Army Street (later renamed Cesar Chavez) and Potrero Avenue in San Francisco, California, was a community center from 1974 to 1987. It was founded by Bonnie Ora Sherk and Jack Wickert in 1974.
Adults and children would gather at The Farm across a park from Buena Vista Elementary School. Children from Buena Vista would visit The Farm for field trips or go to The Farm after school.
The Farm had a two-story building; the lower story contained an actual farm, with vegetable gardens, chickens, geese, rabbits, and goats. Upstairs was a library and an art gallery. Also on the bottom level was a pre-school. The Farm would put on DIY shows to raise funds.
Sherk departed in 1980 after the city parks department decided to reclaim one of The Farm's lots and turn it into a traditional urban park. Later directors turned The Farm into a punk rock showcase by night, by partnering with mobile garage productions run by Craig Shell and Bill Gould (of faith no more) infamous for staging seminal 1980s punk rock bands such as Frightwig, Discharge, The Descendents, The Mentors, 7 Seconds, MDC (Millions of Dead Cops), RKL (Rich Kids on LSD), DRI (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles), Raw Power, The Accused, Redd Kross, Soundgarden, The Gits, the Lookouts (Early band of Green Day drummer), Bad Brains, and many more.
The Farm is an oil painting made by Joan Miró between the summer of 1921 in Mont-roig del Camp and winter 1922 in Paris. It is a kind of inventory of the farmhouse owned by his family since 1911 in the town of Mont-roig del Camp. Miró himself regarded this work as a key in his career, describing it as "a summary of my entire life in the countryside" and "the summary of one period of my work, but also the point of departure for what was to follow." It is preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, where it was given in 1987 by Mary Hemingway, coming from the private collection of American writer Ernest Hemingway, who had described it by saying, “It has in it all that you feel about Spain when you are there and all that you feel when you are away and cannot go there. No one else has been able to paint these two very opposing things.”
The painter, though born in Barcelona, was always linked with the rural world, especially the town of Mont-roig del Camp, and his early works show an influence of the landscapes and characters in their summer country views in the land of Tarragona. This relationship with the land can be captured in the paintings produced between 1918 and 1924 as Vegetable Garden with Donkey(1918) or Montroig, the church and the people(1919). The work of The farm was started on Miró's first trip back to Mont-roig del Camp from France, and was completed in Paris. It was a time when Miró was established in Paris and alternated with some travels, especially summers in Mont-Roig.
