Los Angeles, a city tasked and employed to dream up the future- so many

projects plans and visions, studios, art-schools and community groups, museums

and the industry. And so little actual solid radical or progressive infrastructure.

For this event, we are taking the work from our Grassroots Modernism issue seriously.
History has been made by conscious creation... how is it that we can, as creators conceptualize

a phase-turn movement in as vast and disjointed a place as this?

Join Ultra-Red, Sue Bell Yank, Meg Wade, and Journal Editors in defining 4 distinct positions towards

generating a disjointed cultural counterpower appropriate for a city like LA.
Present alos is the ghost of Olive McKeon.
Lecture and discussion.

Come prepared to listen, reflect, talk.

Come prepared, as Pieter asks, with a non-monetary donation to the fREE Bar or Boutique (food to share, clothes, books etc).
(Note; Joaap is bringing a big stack of free books, its time to clean out the closet.)

Parking; Please park on the street, not in the lot.
