Bay Area Busyness
Anyone roaming the streets of Oakland Sunday night might want to pop in at New Yipes where they'll be showing my short video "Welcome Wizards" (that's a still to your left) alongside "oozing" Steve Brown's bad vibes 8mm, "High Caledonia." Stick around for the poetry as well, as E. Tracy Grinnell and Erin Morrill do what they do afterwards. This New Yipes reading will be held at 7 pm on Nov. 19 at 21 Grand located at 416 25th St @ Broadway in Oakland, Calif. "For lack of $4 none will be turned away."
And while we're in the area, there's a nice piece in this week's Bay Guardian about our good friend Darin Klein, who aside from being L.A.'s hottest curator, is also a New Energy booster.
"I just put together a group of artists who incorporate film and video projection with live performance," says Darin. "The artists in this program - Lucas Michael, Lawrence Rengert, New Energy Encounter Group, F-stop Serenade, Kelly Sears and Ryan Heffington - blow my mind. Art can be very entertaining if you let it. When I find a venue for this program, watch out!"
And he did. It's gonna be at the Hammer in March, so stay tuned and keep growing.
