This event, led by TRISHA LOW is inspired by the work of Lois Weaver’s Long Table performance.

From Low:
I want to know if ~*”selling out”*~ is still a real thing and what it means to you / I want to know if alternative means of distribution mean can we make art for art’s sake and still have people check it out / I want to know if the internet can still keep secrets like a zine-chain / I want to know about freak family / I want to learn how to be a grown up punk.

Special guests include Charles Weigl, Sylvia Viviana, Ian Dolton-Thornton, Alex Cruse, Sharmi Basu, tooth and Dena Beard – We hope you’ll be one too.

Vernacular Visions is the fearless project of local photo phenom Justin Clifford Rhody, who renders 35mm slide detritus into marvelous displays of the American Uncanny. Tonight, the keen-eyed collector projects two of his masterworks—Western Lands (his original landscapes) and Moldy Marvels (diptychs of exquisite coloration and abstract form), both accompanied by evocative music and his own impromptu asides. The evening is abetted by four other East Bay auteurs: Other Cinema’s own Joshua Leon Harper premieres his sci-fi found-photo narrative AI-33 (S-Class) Explores the 20^th Century, the winsome twosome of Oracle Plus perform a multimedia space-jam by way of video sleight-of-hand, and cosmic inspiration/impresario Sweet Tooth turns a 16mm double-projection into an ecstatic ascent into one of his “charmed” black holes.
