Ideas for group activities/outings

Submitted by mlord on Sat, 09/05/2009 - 12:17pm.

 1. We should visit Isaiah Zagar's "Philadelphia's Magic Gardens", the work of a dedicated outsider-artist/mosaicist. It's on South Street in Philadelphia.  www.philadelphiasmagicgardens.org/ I suggest that it is an evolving system and an evolving aesthetic and that some of the dualistic thinking that we've been occasionally engaged in becomes much more difficult to sustain in an environment in which inside/outside don't quite apply.

2. We should have filmmaker Peter Rose come and speak to us and screen some of his films. You can see some at www.peterrosepicture.com/. Rose has been engaged with issues that we're discussing for a number of years. He's an incredibly articulate person, with interests in both science and creating.

3. As an ancillary activity, I invite you to check out the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, which is happening Sept 4-19. Lots of great, paradigm challenging pieces. (I've been working with Headlong Dance Theater on MORE, but there's lots to see. www.livearts-fringe.org/)
