Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, 18th Street Arts Complex will commission a new performance from 3 California artists Postcommodity (Cristobal Martinez and Kade L. Twist) and Guillermo Galindo. Over the course of a month in July 2019, Postcommodity and Galindo will engage with community members and groups in the Pico Neighborhood to create sonic landscapes that use local histories as their sources. The new sound work performed live for and with community members.
Organization Summary
18th Street provides a hub for contemporary artmaking through two program areas that reflect its mission:
1) A Public Events and Exhibition Program that includes commissioning new work from artists focused on engaging the public and revealing the art-making process, and a Cultural Asset Storytelling Map which underpins our community engagement projects with citizen-generated research.
2) A three-tiered Residency Program fostering inter-cultural collaboration and dialogue
The three tiers are:
a) Visiting artist residencies, for national and international artists and curators who live at 18th Street for 1-3 months.
b) Long-term residencies subsidized by 18SAC for local Los Angeles-based artists.
c) Long-term Cultural Organization residencies that uniquely add to the vibrancy of the 18SAC and often serve as collaborative partners.
