Double Issue Release Party: Book Documents PST Festival of 2012
Join us for a reception celebrating the release of Double Issue, edited by Armory Chief Curator Irene Tsatsos.
Double Issue records and responds to thirty-seven performance and public works that were presented throughout Los Angeles from January 19 to 29, 2012. The catalyst for these presentations was the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival, the second festival ever in Los Angeles dedicated to presenting performance art and the largest to date. The Pacific Standard Time initiative, funded by the Getty, brought together dozens of institutions throughout Southern California to explore the region’s art and cultural histories through exhibitions of art from World War II through the 1970s. The performance festival picked up where the exhibition programming left off; it was inspired by the rich history of Southern California’s performance art scene, conceived of and launched by artists in the 1970s and 1980s.
