Who Got More Naked?
A roundtable discussion with the Collaboration Labs artists
Sat, Oct 22, 4:30–6 pm | Community Room at the Crossroads School | FREE
The Community Room is located at 1715 W. Olympic Blvd (enter from 18th Street door across from 18th Street Arts Center)
Who Got More Naked? offers insider stories about the early days of LA's notorious artist space movement from the artists who made the scene a place to be seen. The seminal artists from that period, Rachel Rosenthal, Barbara T. Smith, Michael Masucci, Leslie Labowitz-Starus and Suzanne Lacy will talk about their work, the birth of artist-run spaces in Los Angeles as well as our current exhibition and why it is important that we revisit this moment today.
Before the conversation, please be sure to check out Collaboration Labs: Southern California Artists and the Artist Space Movement in our Main Gallery and Project Room. Arrive early by Big Blue Bus or by bicycle to check it out. More information about the Westside Regional Bus and Bike tours, including scheduling and stops, can be found on the Pacific Standard Time website.
