2011 OXY FREEWAVES: THE ART AND POLITICS OF SPACE

A night of global and local media works exploring space, in public space

Friday, April 15, 7 - 9 p.m. Occidental College Main Quad

As part of the 2011 Spring Arts Festival, the Occidental College Film & Media Studies Program invites students, alumni, and the Los Angeles community to participate in an evening of food, drink, conversation, and cutting-edge videos addressing contemporary questions around the cultural, ideological, environmental, and creative uses of space.

This marks the second OXY FREEWAVES venture, an exhibition of experimental and documentary films, that places documentary works by Occidental students into conversation with works by international artists from LA Freewaves (http://www.freewaves.org), an organization supporting innovative, relevant, independent new media from around the world.

 Mentored by media artist and LA Freewaves founder Anne Bray, the students of Occidental's Film & Media Studies Program will transform the campus' main quad into a series of public screening venues, permitting visitors to move between eight different themed media programs.

Directions and parking information can be found on the campus map at http://www.oxy.edu/x6062.xml. The Oxy Quad is # 126 on the Map. This event is made possible by the Remsen Bird Fund and the Office of the President.
