TransFormations 4: DISTRIBUTED REALITIES
Saturday, April 21, 2007 @ 10:30am to 5:30pm
This event is open to USC students, staff, and faculty. Admission is free, but reservations are required. To reserve a space, sign up online at http://www.usc.edu/visionsandvoices
The city of Los Angeles hosts a remarkable variety of independent and artist-run institutions, which together constitute a radical alternative to more traditional museums and galleries. For our fourth and final TransFormations event, we will introduce members of the USC community to an amazing array of the city's most provocative and innovative spaces. And, since there is really no way to experience these spots other than to actually visit them, we've opted not to bring representatives of these venues to USC, but to bring USC to them.
For one day only, we have chartered a luxury tour bus, which will take attendees on a day-long expedition to five of our favorite institutions: Fringe Exhibitions, Telic Arts Exchange, Machine Project, The Center for Land Use Interpretation, and The Museum of Jurassic Technology. Spread throughout the city, each venue is an iconoclastic gem, each embodying a specific, original and surprising worldview. USC travelers will become immersed in a new and unexpected reality at each stop.
Participants will be treated to a variety of onboard multimedia entertainments - audio, video, games - as the bus travels through the city (including a Blur+Sharpen screening). For each stop along the route, attendees will disembark for about an hour, during which time they will have a chance to view the current exhibitions and hear a brief overview of the institution's history and philosophy. Refreshments and lunch will be served. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit some of the most exciting and innovative sites in Los Angeles!
