FRONT CELEBRATES THEIR EDITION 3 OF FRONT NEWSPAPER
FRONT makes public its Fall 2013 Resource Room Residency (RRR) with a two-fold party revealing their research process and residency activity. Join us for drinks, food, conversation, and the launch of Edition 3 of FRONT Newspaper!
Over the last three months, FRONT invited small, eclectic groups of artists, writers, and thinkers to select and screen documented dance performances from the RR collection and PICA video archives at periodic happy hours. Now, FRONT asks us to do the same, inviting us to wander, station to station, drinks in hand, to view previous guests' selections, make our own, and chat about the what and why, imagining the new inventions and latent oral histories uncovered by this sharing.
FRONT's residency was also spent researching and developing content for their periodic newspaper, and so we will also celebrate the launch of ED. 3: RUBIES, a collection of translucent, sparkling writing from artists and thinkers traversing contemporary dance and performance, including Dana Michel, Kristy Edmunds, Atlanta Eke, Elizabeth Ward, Florin Flueras, and Lucy Yim.
Featured in RUBIES is a piece by Barry Johnson on Mary Oslund + Co., one of Portland's most prolific, accomplished, and influential dance-makers. On this evening, we will be honoring Mary and her career and hope you can join us.
