“My art practice has taught me that as much as I love and need time to geek out in by private space, I want shows and projects to be an opportunity to collaborate with a portion of the infinitely inspiring community around us. For this project, I visited Kim Allen of Berkeley Youth Alternatives’ Youth Garden for some advice and walked away with pockets full of seeds planted for this project. Gabriel Varney, a Greenhouse Technician for UC Berkeley, helped source irrigation and lighting materials, and lent his knowledge and skills. Brent Bucknum, my main eco/art design/build partner (and founder of Hyphae Design Laboratory), has been giving general moral, technical, and design support. Johanna Silver Test Garden Master-bebe at Sunset Magazine has made containers and seeding possible. Come to the closing party and take home a plant of your own to commune with!”

CRIME WAVE
ARTISTS’ TELEVISION ACCESS is proud to present for one night only Winnipeg Boy Wonder John Paizs’s 1986 8o min Low-Budget Feature length Canadian Comedy Classic “CRIME WAVE” . Considered as one of the most influential Indepedent Canadian Comedies of all time. The film is an homage to late 1940s-early 1950s “color crime pictures”. Paizs plays Steven Penny, a struggling screenwriter who lives above the garage of a suburban family, and begins typing each night from the moment the street lamp comes on. Everything we learn about the character comes from Kim (Eva Kovacs), the family’s daughter, who has a schoolgirl crush on him, as Penny never utters a word in the entire film. John Paizs later went on to direct the highly original smash television hit “KIDS IN THE HALL” Steven Penny wants to write the greatest “color crime movie ever made.(a “color crime movie” is a movie in color about a crime.)This must see self referential Canadian movie about a crime writer with writers block is a true must see for Aspiring Filmmakers and or anyone who ever wanted to make it to the top.
