"Tarot Art Show is a mixed media group art show featuring a collective of local artists, each of whom has received a randomly assigned card from the Major Arcana as inspiration to create an artwork in whatever medium they choose. With no restrictions aside from time and space, more than 23 artists will showcase their talents, using such forms as video, photography, and painting to bring this ancient oracle to life. Brought to you by Bird and Stone Productions, the Tarot Art Show promises to be an exciting way to experience the local art scene, and the strange and beautiful world of the esoteric. "
later Fri 11/ 12 Holidays for Quince Record Release for MONSONIA. 33.3
with special guests...MAKE and MINOR STARS with live projections / visuals by Projexorcism during Monsonia's Set.
doors at 9 PM : $5 Buy Tickets online!
This show is a vinyl-release party for local minimal-rock trio Monsonia, who like their pizza crusts thick and their riffs even thicker. The one song up on the 'net from 33.3 continues Growler-style dark chord-churning with a distinct post-punk poker-faced intensity and some badass counter-rhythms from drummer Andy Willard-- each part is so pronounced you'll have to listen to this record four times to hear it all. Local space-doomers Make and heavy-psych rockers Minor Stars start off the night. To top it off, the foothills-based 16mm projection behemoth Projexorcism will be in full effect for Monsonia's set, sharing the world of tripped-out educational films on multiple screens, wherever they may be. Check it: http://www.multiultramedia.com/projexorcism.html

What Would it Mean to Win? Theoretical-Practice in Contemporary Movements.
5 pm @ The Nightlight
Michal Osterweil will lead a discussion based on the Turbulence: Ideas for Movement project (www.turbulence.org.uk), premised on the notion that theoretical and intellectual work is crucial to our contemporary activist practices, particularly because there seem to be no clear-cut frameworks for acting in the present moment. The aim of the presentation will be to identify and discuss key issues and questions, focusing on tensions and divergences that require collective thinking.
