*PUBLIC ADDRESS LOS ANGELES VÍA PÚBLICA*
Sunday, October 17 -- 8pm - 10pm Poetry, Music, Art and Conversation with Craig Santos Perez, Arturo Ernesto Romo-Santillano, Cat Lamb and Laura Steenberge
Craig Santos Perez comes
to the Southland to celebrate publication of his second book, titled _from
unincorporated territory [saina]_ (Omnidawn Publishing, 2010). Craig is a
native Chamoru from the Pacific Island of Guahan (Guam), and has lived in
California since 1995. He received his MFA in Poetry from the University of San
Francisco and is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Comparative Ethnic Studies at
UC Berkeley. He is co-founder of Achiote Press; his first book, _from
unincorporated territory [hacha], was published in 2008 by Tinfiish Press.
Arturo Ernesto Romo-Santillano was born in Los Angeles, California in 1980. His artwork, mostly mixed media and installation works, has been exhibited internationally, most recently in the exhibition Holy Jolina, at Trpico de Nopal Gallery and Art-Space in Los Angeles. His subject matter is influenced by conspiracy theory and alchemical texts, junkyards, sprawl architecture, terrorism and entheogenics. An overarching theme in his work is fluency and its folly; he sees his artwork as a companion multiplier to an already baffling, origamaic world. His art-making is inspired by explorations on the streets of East Los Angeles, which feed into an ongoing series of fake radio shows called The Recent Rupture Radio Hour, created with writer Sesshu Foster.
Friends,
I'm writing to invite you to a few events next weekend and thereafter at new
experimental programming residency in a Highland Park storefront called Public
Address Los Angeles Vía Pública -- we usually call it Public Address for short. Taking
inspiration from Mess Hall in Chicago, Public Address is a collaborative
platform for free events, public conversations, workshops, lectures, public
projects, actions, events, meals, and more, currently operating out of Outpost
for Contemporary Art at 1268 N. Ave 50.
Details are below!
I won't spam you with our announcements after this so if you'd like to get on
the mailing list to find out about events, please sign yourself up here: http://publicaddresslosangeles.org Apologies if you've gotten this email more than once...we're working out the kinks!
AND know that the space is available for hosting all manner of free events, so if there’s something you've been wanting to organize or host you should reach out, or better yet come to an event. The Brunchlucks on every second Saturday morning of the month are especially suited for getting something you want to do on the calendar. Public Address Los Angeles Vía Pública is open to anything -- most of all to you!
