----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Trust Me: Tony Labat
Exhibition: September 21-October 22, 2005 12-6 pm Tuesday--Saturday Admission Free ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Opening Reception Thursday September 22, 6-8 pm Admission Free New Langton Arts celebrates its 30th year with Trust Me, the first survey of the work of Bay Area performance, video and installation artist Tony Labat. Labat's career as an experimental artist is closely tied to Langton, where he received his first solo commission in 1978. Trust Me is presented as a collection of memorabilia and works sprawled across the gallery walls, mapping Labat's career onto major cultural, social and political events of the last quarter century. Documentation and relics of Labat's past projects - sculptural objects, video monitors, sketches and drawings, correspondence, press, photography - weave a loose narrative about Tony Labat the émigré, the innovator, the teacher, the provocateur. Labat video works screen continuously in the Downstairs space during gallery hours. A full-color, 200-page catalog with images, critical essays, an interview and index of works is published in conjunction with the exhibition. Trust Me is complemented by a series of video screenings at the Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley, and culminates in a multidisciplinary performance tribute at Langton. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ New Langton Arts 1246 Folsom St. San Francisco 415-626-5416 http://www.newlangtonarts.org ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415-626-5416 http://www.newlangtonarts.org ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com underground art and culture from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small businesses Copyright (c) 2005 Laughing Squid.
