whittlin’ away

1. One of my favorite stores in the entire world, Shop Golden Age, now has Tough Stuff from the Buff DVDs in stock. The store is run by Marco Kane Braunschweiler and Martine Syms, two amazing proprietors from the windy city. Pick up a copy here.

2. I, Marc Moscato, am speaking at the Multnomah County Library as part of “Zinesters Talking,” Tuesday, October 6th, from 6:30–7:45 p.m. I’ll be giving a slide lecture on organizing the Dill Pickle Club’s Art for the Millions bike field trip. More info on the lecture series here.

3. My film The More Things Stay the Same is screening as part of “Visible Histories” at Other Cinema in San Francisco, Saturday, October 17th. My piece will show alongside work by long-time friends Vanessa Renwick, Erick Lyle and Dara Greenwald. Should be a great show.

4. This site has been quiet as of late but big plans are in the works; keep tuned.

3 announcements of important going-ons:

Brian Borrello and Vanessa Renwick have teamed up to create a new sculpture in honor of Portland mini-bike critical massers, the Zoobombers. The publicly-sanctioned scultpture features a gold-leafed minibike hoisted above a jumbled pyle of bicycles. The unveiling takes place this Friday, May 29 at 4PM at the Zoobomb pyle (10th & SW Oak) whereupon the party will parade to the new site, where Mayor Sam Adams will speak alongside performances by The Sprokettes.

The following  week, Store for a Month inhabits an empty storefront on 1216 SE Division Street, as a temporary art gallery, social center and pie bakery. Loosely based on Claes Oldenburg’s “Store” (1961), the show features works by 60 Northwest artists, most of which were created specifically for the project.

Lastly, the following weekend, June 6-7, the Axiom Collective hosts the first annual Portland Anarchist Book Fair. The fair features over 20 booksellers, publishers, and zinesters peddling a wide range of radical literature and art (bafflling enough, the list includes the Multnomah County Libray – only in Portland)! There will also be a series of (free) workshops and (not free) food.
