The Edye Second Space at the Broad Stage
Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center
1310 11th St., Santa Monica, CA 90401
Santa Monica, CA-18th Street Arts Center is pleased to announce internationally recognized saxophonist, composer and sound conceptualist, Matana Roberts in concert at the Edye Second Space at the Broad Stage in the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center on February 17th at 8 pm. Roberts and her dynamic ensemble will premiere her latest original works in an intimate performance.
More than a jazz musician, Roberts is an artist who translates images, memories and personal experiences into avant-garde compositions. Inspired by her own African American genealogy and oral traditions, as well as the roots and history of the New Orleans jazz scene, Roberts’ pieces are often musical journeys through time and space. By using improvisational sound techniques and visual elements, Roberts gives her audience an electric, multi-sensory experience.
Chicago-born and New York-based, Roberts has performed across the U.S., Europe, and Canada and has recorded five solo albums and numerous collaborative projects. Investigating various forms of performance, she has created alongside visionary experimentalists in the disciplines of dance, poetry, visual art and theater. Roberts is the first recipient of the 18th Street Arts Center’s Make-Jazz Residency funded by the Herb Albert Foundation.
While free and open to the public, this event has limited seating. Reservations required by February 14, 2012.

Lita Albuquerque Re-imagines Historic Ephemeral Art Work
January 22, 2012 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook (6300 Hetzler Road; Culver City)
Santa Monica, CA-In conjunction with the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival, 18th Street is proud to present resident artist Lita Albuquerque’s recreation of her seminal work Spine Of The Earth.
This large-scale art performance will take place at the breathtaking Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook in Culver City, in conjunction with the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival organized by Glenn Phillips of the Getty Research Institute and Lauri Firstenberg of LAXART.
Spine of the Earth was originally created on the El Mirage Dry Lake bed in the Mojave Desert of California in the fall of 1980. It was a transient pigment-based land work that commenced with a performance by Long Beach State University art students who laid red, yellow and black pigment on the desert floor. Albuquerque used the Earth as a two-dimensional drawing surface with a spiraling geometric pattern that was over six hundred feet in diameter. The final piece could only be seen in its entirety from hundreds of feet in the air.
For Spine Of The Earth 2012, Albuquerque is re-imaging her seminal project from 1980 in an entirely new context with an innovative component of suspense that emphasizes the spectral line connecting the Earth’s core to the sky above. At 12:00 pm, over 500 people participating in this performance will reveal the surprise to spectators watching at the base of the hill with choreography by LA based choreographers Wife. Attendees to this phenomenal event are guaranteed to walk away with an unprecedented art experience.
To sign up to participate in the performance, volunteers should visit: http://www.spineoftheearth2012.com/

ABOUT LITA ALBUQUERQUE
Lita Albuquerque is an internationally renowned installation, environmental artist, painter and sculptor. She has developed a visual language that brings the realities of time and space to a human scale in ways that are simultaneously ancient and futuristic. For decades she has created large scale ephemeral pigment pieces in desert sites including the Pyramids of Giza and more recently the ice desert of Antarctica where she led an expedition and team of scientists and artists that culminated in the first and largest ephemeral art work created on the continent. Often best seen from space, Albuquerque’s work challenges perspective, and the perpetually shifting relationships between bodies in space.
Her paintings are a materialization of the ideas about color, light and perception first created in her ephemeral works. Through her use of pure pigments, gold leaf and copper, she engages perceptual and alchemical shifts in the viewing subject. Her work was recently seen at MOCA in The Artist’s Museum exhibition and was featured in Art Paris 2011. Her solo show 287 Steps opens on January 21st, the night before her large scale ephemeral work Spine of the Earth 2012 is performed in conjunction with the Getty Museum’s Pacific Standard Time Performance Festival. 287 Steps features a new body of work and will be on view at Craig Krull Gallery in Bergamot Station through February 25th, 2012.
Albuquerque is the recipient of numerous honors and awards including three National Endowment for the Arts, the Cairo Biennale Prize and a National Science Foundation Artist Grant. Albuquerque’s work is included in collections at the Whitney Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Getty Trust, and The Los Angeles County Museum, among others. She has been a Professor on the Core Faculty in the Fine Art Graduate Program at Art Center College of Design for over twenty years.

Organized by EZTV co-founder and Director Michael J. Masucci, this series includes a high-profile roster of seminal artists who broke boundaries and created new forms in media art. From rarely seen psychedelic video works by Dr. Timothy Leary to early computer art by members of LA-SIGGRAPH, from early desktop video by EZTV co-founder John Dorr to the surrealist works by multidisciplinary group Vertical Blanking, these evenings will peel back LA’s cultural fabric to reveal key voices that have been excluded from the canon of media art history. Guest speakers and performers include Barbara T. Smith, Lowell Darling, The Dark Bob, Susanna Bixby Dakin, Strawn Bovee, Michael Kearns, Kate Johnson, Dr. Ken Luey, Kate Crash, Michael Wright, David Ehrenstein and Irene Rosen.
Events are at the 18th Street Arts Center campus in building 1629 (1629 18th Street, Santa Monica), every Wednesday at 8 pm, from October 26 to November 30. All events are free, with limited seating, reservations strongly recommended. RSVP to eztv@eztvmedia.com

Susanna Dakin, sculptor, performance artist and High Performance Magazine publisher, had an outlandish notion: she declared with the Federal Elections Commission as an Artist/Candidate for President of the United States. Dakin’s debut book, An Artist for President, tells the story of her campaign and the surprising ideas people held about women, artists and the political process. See short film about campaign.

For the opening they screened the feature, which was about Dorothy Parker and her bi-sexual husband Alan Campbell.

ABOUT EZTV
In 1979 John Dorr, in collaboration with a group of artists formed EZTV as the first video theater in the US. Originally housed in the West Hollywood Community Center, EZTV exhibited experimental videos in an intimate setting, with chairs clustered around large television monitors; the pioneering collective opened its own space in 1982. By moving video—at that time a new technology that was cheaper and viewed as more populist than film—outside an institutional museum setting, EZTV emphasized the radical, democratic aspects of small-screen technologies. Since its inception, it has promoted not just alternative media, but also queer aesthetics and politics. Throughout the 1980s, ACT UP and Queer Nation held meetings at EZTV.
Eventually evolving from a microcinema to a community-based editing facility, EZTV was home to production facilities where artists created everything from feature-length narratives to short abstract works and computer art; EZTV established one of the world’s first galleries dedicated to computer art. Currently run by co-founder artist Michael Masucci and current president Kate Johnson, who came on board in 1993, EZTV is a major site of the digital desktop revolution and continues to promote methods of video distribution beyond commercial networks.

Santa Monica, CA—
Ms. Jan Williamson, Executive Director of 18th Street Arts Center released this letter to the Friends of 18th Street.
Dear Friends,
18th Street is proud to present Collaboration Labs: Southern California Artists and the Artist Space Movement, a groundbreaking exhibition guest curated by Alex Donis and featuring the work of five seminal artists and artist networks: Electronic Café International, EZTV, Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz-Starus, Rachel Rosenthal and Barbara T. Smith. This offering to the Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA, 1945–1980 story is inspired by the historical threads that led to the founding of 18th Street Art Center—a beehive of artmaking that is and always has been a place for a disarray of provocative artists to call home.
Three years ago, 18th Street embarked on a strategic plan to realign our renowned exhibition and residency programs so that they both reflected our commitment to supporting the many emerging, underrepresented and established artists we admire who provoke public dialog. Having reached our initial goals for the exhibition and residency programs, as we began a new plan, our Artistic Director Clayton Campbell of 16 years resigned in January to pursue new opportunities, followed more recently by Program Coordinator Ronald Lopez accepting an exciting job leading an emerging arts organization. We are proud of their years of service to 18th Street and wish them the best in their new endeavors. With the guidance of 18th Street’s Board of Directors we considered these major changes in staff as an opportunity for 18th Street to identify new priorities for the next three years. Our new plan focuses on four crucial areas: appreciating artists through an enhanced arts laboratory environment, inspiring and provoking the public to engage with contemporary art as an agent of social transformation, enhancing 18th Street’s outreach efforts in order to better serve the arts and culture community in Los Angeles and beyond, and creating a thriving and sustainable organization with the capacity not only to meet its current goals but also to put 18th Street at the leading edge of arts presenting. As a first step, we created two new positions, an Outreach Director and a Director of Residency Programs. We have appointed as Outreach Director crystal am nelson, who comes to 18th Street from Yerba Buena Center for the Arts where she served as the graphic designer and as an innovation champion. Our search for a Director of Residency Programs is coming to a close, and we expect to have the position filled by the end of the year.
We are excited to mark the beginning of this new phase with our participation in Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA, 1945–1980, an unprecedented collaboration initiated by the Getty that brings together more than 60 cultural institutions from across Southern California. Our opening reception of Collaboration Labs is the perfect opportunity to honor all the past artists, staff and board members who have given so generously of themselves to make 18th Street the thriving arts center that it is today.
We open Collaboration Labs on Saturday, September 24, 6–10 pm with a special VIP preview event followed by an incredible party featuring live Indonesian-inspired music, complimentary beverages courtesy of PAMA Liqueur and IZZE Sparkling Juice, an unique artists market and, of course, the incomparable artists who were instrumental in not only making this landmark exhibition possible but also in making 18th Street a landmark in itself.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Jan Williamson

Collaboration Labs: Southern California Artists and the Artist Space Movement
Opening Reception: September 24, 2011, 6-10 pm
Barbara T. Smith, Field Piece – Nude Sit In, performance/installation, 1971, (courtesy of the artist and The Box Gallery, L.A.)
Santa Monica, CA-On September 24, 2011 6-10pm, 18th Street Arts Center presents the opening of its contribution to the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945-1980 initiative, Collaboration Labs: Southern California Artists and the Artist Space Movement. This groundbreaking exhibition, curated by Alex Donis, features the works of five seminal artists and artist groups: Rachel Rosenthal, Barbara T. Smith, Suzanne Lacy/Leslie Labowitz-Starus, Electronic Café International and EZTV; all who have been central to the alternative artist space movement in Southern California since the early 1970’s.
This exhibition uses these five artists/artist groups’ as case studies to trace how their collaborative practices and alternative cultural infrastructures functioned like laboratories for testing the political possibilities of experimental artist-run spaces. These artist practices and the spaces that hosted and fostered them were intimately related to the politics of the time (i.e. gay liberation, civil rights, freedom of information and feminism). Collaboration Labs demonstrates that much of the Los Angeles time-based work in the 1970’s grew out of and fed into California artist space movement, which increasingly shaped the landscape of post-war LA art. Through video, performance, archival materials, documentation and original works, this exhibition examines how the thinking that artists brought to the creation of their work in the 70’s mirrors the kind of thinking that incited the development of artist spaces.
From the seminal performance work by Rachel Rosenthal, the early queer video work of EZTV, boundary breaking art installations by Barbara T. Smith, the pioneering media explorations by Electronic Café International, to the feminist media interventions of Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz-Starus, these five influential and often overlooked artists and collaborative arts groups were fundamental to charting the course for the artist space movement and its vision of egalitarian artistic production and reception.
The exhibit will be accompanied by a limited edition catalog designed by Jessica Fleischman/ Still Room and includes essays by cutting-edge visual and performance artist Alex Donis, historian Julia Bryan Wilson, Linda Burnham (former Editor of High Performance Magazine), Dorit Cypis (former Director of Foundation for Arts Resources), and Clayton Campbell (former Artistic Director o18th Street Arts Center). The exhibition is designed by Sebastian Clough, Director of Exhibitions at the Fowler Museum of Art.
