While LACA stays at home [during the Covid-19 pandemic], we are developing a new collection, Live/Work: Artist Studio and Housing Collection. This project invites artists to share ephemera directly related to artist studio and housing issues. Our goal is to contextualize art-making within what is typically seen as an inconsequential site of production.

If you would like to participate in this collection, please share your materials. We are currently gathering: studio leases, mortgages, residencies, contracts, sublet negotiations, or verbal agreements for the rental, home, and studio agreements.

RECITAL! will debut the Sewnata Machine, a sewing machine that generates various sounds through its connection to different effects pedals, allowing for sound manipulation in real time. The basis of this performance is the durational act of sewing live in front of an audience; sewing is a [feminized] domestic work that is not often seen in the public eye - especially not as a noise machine.
