Project Description
With CAC support, La Pocha Nostra (LPN) will present Border Clásicos: A Live Anthology, based on Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s book Unplugged: Texts on Live Art, Social Practice and Imaginary Activism, poetic, critical and performance texts derived from 35+ years of work with border issues and US/Mexico relations. Gómez-Peña will transform the written texts into a live performance piece, which will premiere at the California Institute of Integral Studies Desai | Matta Gallery in March 2020.
Organization Summary
Founded in 1993, LPN’s goal is to provide a home for a loose network of rebel artists from various disciplines, generations and ethnic backgrounds, who share our desire to move the “other” from the margins of storytelling to its center.
Projects range from performance solos and duets to large-scale multi-media performances created by changing combinations of the eight performance artists who currently comprise LPN’s performance troupe, along with guest artists from around the world. These collaborations reflect our desire to dissolve borders surrounding culture, ethnicity, gender, language, and métier. LPN’s most significant contribution to the contemporary arts field has been in the hybrid realm of performance/installation.
