Joe Milutis (South Carolina)

Saturday, October 26 at 5:00 PM at 6560 Hollywood Blvd. between

mediums. Joe Milutis will transmit and receive ideas concerning the
intangible arts, radio and sound.

::ARCHIVE is the collaborative production entity of Anne Walsh and
Chris Kubick. ARCHIVE's work has been aired on National Public Radio,
exhibited in the Whitney Museum of American Art's 2002 Biennial and
Los Angeles's Art in Motion II festival, and published in scholarly
and popular journals.  Descriptions of their series of audio CD's
called Art After Death may be found at http://www.doublearchive.com.

magazine published in Los Angeles. She is a professor of Studio Art
at the University of California, Irvine.
Chris Kubick is an audio producer and composer whose work focuses on

::Joe Milutis is a writer and media artist.  He teaches courses in
sound art and experimental media production in the Department of Art
at the University of South Carolina.  Current projects include, in
addition to a book length manuscript on the ether, an experimental
musical about memory, repetition, and an interminable, totalitarian
Christmas. He can sometimes be found avidly propounding the American

performance spaces. Written work has appeared in Afterimage, Artbyte,

NOMADS+RESIDENTS_LA

While competing definitions of "the global" and "the local" are being
thrown about in a myriad current political and economic debates, Los
Angeles continues, like most major cities, to house a constantly
fluctuating mass of natives, migrants and visitors. Even with the
much heralded isolation of LA "car culture", these populations meet,
exchange information, and share knowledge. Recognizing this fluid
process as a resource, NOMADS+RESIDENTS_LA organizes public
discussions between people who live in Los Angeles and people who
visit the city. Taking its form and motivation from NOMADS +
RESIDENTS in New York City, NOMADS+RESIDENTS_LA creates a network
among people interested in contemporary/political/intellectual
discussions in the context of cultural production.

NOMADS+RESIDENTS_LA is organized by a group of artists, writers and
curators. Event locations will circulate throughout the city.

N+R_LA are:
Joyce Campbell | Rita Gonzalez | Sharon Hayes | Rachel Mayeri |
Lize Mogel | Linda Pollack | Jeannie Simms | Tran, T. Kim-Trang
