“Temporary Property: Parking in the 21st Century”
A panel discussion with artist & activists whose political and art practice intersect at that one point that some have called a right, others a privilege, and some a complete waste of space: the parking space. We will be looking at parking from its aesthetic & social terrain.
This will be a conversation with Warren Neidich, Elena Bajo, Anna Prvacki, Herbie Huff, Vladimir Gallegos, Alexis Rochas and Matias Viegener.
Ana Prvacki
Ana Prvacki's work will be activated through her participation in the symposium held by the Public School entitled “Temporary Property: Parking in the 21st Century” in which the artist will interview a professional etiquette instructor concerning the 'proper rules' and regulations of parking.
8-10 pm: CHUNG KING ROAD PARKING LOT
There will be ongoing performances by:
Pash Buzari
"ping pong" 2011
Two children are juggling a ping pong ball between each other. The ball jumps from one paddle to the other in an almost steady rhythm. One of the kids, the shorter one stands on a small edge or wall at the curb of a parking lot. The other one is on street level due to their difference in height; the wall levels the difference. It appears to be a still life, a scene from a motion picture, a meditation in space, or possibly all of it together at once.
Gracie Devito
Ode to Cooligde
A performance with me, Jake Devito, Tyler Oyer, Clay Gibson, and Tom Curitore. An asymmetrical composition using the car as its foundation: installations will be inside and out, left and right, top and bottom. The piece is comprised roughly of five short happenings by various artists that will take place within the confines of the composition throughout the night. Each will be prompted by an opening chant or sounds that Devito will provide.
Emily Mast
The parking lot is the main thread in Emily Mast's roving performance consisting of a loosely woven narrative interrupted by non-sequiturs, nonsense and physical surprises that pit private and public against each other. With Elliott Morgan and Beau Ray.
David Medalla with Jevijoe Vitug
Roulette Wheel in Homage to Marcel Duchamp
David Medalla and Jevijoe Vitug will transform the parking lot space into a virtual casino in honor of Duchamp’s credo that art is a game but this time—game is art. Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel will be modified into a roulette wheel with various colors. The players may place bets on the desired color and will be invited to put bets in the form of their own underwear: panties and underpants. The lucky winner in each game will receive signed panties and/or underpants that presumably belonged to famous Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, James Stewart, Rock Hudson, Clark Gable, James Dean, Paul Newman and Elvis Presley. Roulette Wheel in Homage to Marcel Duchamp attempts to convey the thin line between virtual fantasy and reality and also a dialogue on art that is detached from its original meaning and situated in another realm.
1ST EVENT AT LA><ART, JUNE 30TH 2011
ART IN THE PARKING SPACE
Inaugural Event: Thursday, June 30, 2011
7pm-9pm at LA><ART
Artists Pierre Bismuth, Jonathan Monk, and Anita Pace will initiate the first evening of interventions in the parking spaces surrounding LA><ART.
Over the course of one year, invited artists will create temporary and ephemeral artworks in parking spaces across Los Angeles. Each work will reflect different environments and sets of cultural parameters that define the Los Angeles basin. Public and private spaces will be occupied, from a large parking lot to a collector’s driveway. Launching June 30th in parking spaces contiguous to LA><ART, Art in the Parking Space will continue sporadically throughout the year.
For this introductory event the artist Pierre Bismuth in Flashback, 2011 will park an anonymous rented car in the parking space directly in front of LA><ART in which a recording he made of the announcement of the results of the presidential election of Barack Obama, 2008 is played over and over again at a very loud volume. The work recounts the inspiring resonance of that heady day at the same time underscoring the emptiness of unfulfilled dreams. Jonathan Monk will create This Space is Reserved for Your Wording, 2011 in which an everyday sign normally designating singular propriety is transformed into an open space of possibility as each person reading the sign is encouraged to create their own proclamation. Finally Anita Pace's work Dance Here, Here Dance, 2011 will take place in two adjacent parking spaces in the back lot of LA><ART. Based on the normative dimemsions of a delineated public parking space (130 square feet), a metronome set at 130 beats per minute creates the rhythm for the dance performance. This will be followed by a open dance session in the parking spaces with a DJ mix of boombox music themed around the utilitarian, dystopian and sentimental experiences of "parking." Participation by the audience is encouraged.
