Under the Imperfect Sun: A San Diego Community Occupation

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

San Diego is a place marked by liminality, occupying the bottom corner of the United States and the shared border with Mexico. Its genealogy includes some of the heroines & heroes of art pushing genre out of bounds, including Kathy Acker, Eleanor Antin, David Antin, Rae Armantrout, John Cage, Juan Felipe Herrera, Fanny Howe, Hiromi Ito, Eileen Myles, Jerome Rothenberg, Roberto Tejada, Rodrigo Toscano, and Quincy Troupe. The current San Diego literary-‐‐performing-‐‐art community is defined by its defiance of genre categorization, a vibrant collaborative spirit, and an engagement with border-‐‐crossing artistic activity. San Diego’s verbal artists have moved their work in the direction of embodied performance, live translation, magical incantation, theoretical investigation, anthropocene territory, and political action, signaling their place at the contested vanguard of contemporary practice.  This reading-‐‐performance by current San Diego artists will interrogate sole authorship, page-‐‐based writing, geographical borders, and the limitations of language and genre.
