Presenting Glow Nuit Blanche in Santa Monica.
2 Jul 2008
Taking place July 19th from 7 pm to 7 am, Glow is aiming to be(come?) the Los Angeles/Santa Monica response to the Parisian Nuit Blanche. Nuit Blanche translates to White Night in French and is employed when describing a night spent without sleeping).
From the press release:
__”Events will be conceived to take advantage of and address unusual times and spaces. Glow will present engaging art that spans the breadth of media. Artworks and events for Glow will be dispersed within the downtown/beach area, on and around the historic Santa Monica Pier.”
Engaging art! Who doesn’t want that?! I am being cynical but I saw here and there a few promising things on the event’s website.
Machine Project will be participating with a few different installations/pieces, and will be working with poets Anthony McCann, Joshua Beckman, and Noelle Kocot-Tomblin, as well as artists Kamau Patton and Suzy Poling. Machine will add more info later.
The web radio collective Dublab will be teaming up with SASSAS (The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound) (yes, badaSS) for the first-ever free SASSAS concert event, Tonalism will feature performances by Albert Ortega, Steve Roden, Unrecognizable Now and White Rainbow, video by Jessica Bronson, Cal Crawford, Carole Kim and Matt Sheridan and dublab soundsystem DJs Frosty, Carlos Nino, Hoseh, Jimmy Tamborello, Sam Cooper, Katie Byron, Ale and Part Time Punks DJ Michael Stock. Tonalism takes place in the historic Looff Hippodrome carousel building on the Santa Monica Pier.
Reads like something awesome.
I say mark the date for this intriguing night of LA promising to not be sleepy after 2 am!
