Why Did You Sleep with So Many Human People?

Sculptural work by architects 12/14/13
Popwagon Production Coordinator Kris Swick has put together an exhibition of sculptural work by local yuppies visionaries/crackpots from the fields of visual art and architecture. This sampling will include architectural scale models, structurally informed assemblages, formal studies and experimentation, and floral throngs. The range of work will reflect both the artists’ areas of expertise and their incursions into the avant-garde. Some work will be made available for sale. All work will explore new avenues of spatial understanding.

Popwagon at CicLAvia 10/6/13
Sunday October 6 is CicLAvia – the magical event where certain L.A.roads are closed, cars disappear and cyclists get together for a wild ride.
The folks at the Music Center invited the Popwagon to be a part of their Lines + Lanes festivities at the Grand Park hub in the center of the “Heart of L.A.” route.
For our contribution, we created YOU ARE HERE HERE HERE, a tele-presence experiment aboard the Popwagon that allows you to be in three places at once. Using a constant three-way video feed between the Popwagon, the Macarthur Park hub and a spot along the route, the piece will provide a unique way for participants to connect with one another and experience the event from multiple vantage points.
Video-conferencing technology has been around for a while, but most of us are still growing accustomed to this ability to transport many aspects of our “selves” across space. Your tone of voice, your physical characteristics, your sense of sight and hearing can cross vast distances with the touch of a button. As our identities become less and less tied to our physical bodies, how does this impact our experience of the spaces we inhabit and move through?
YOU ARE HERE HERE HERE invites Angelenos to explore these questions in a playful setting that augments the theme of civic connectivity embodied by Grand Park and the CicLAvia event.
We’ll be operating from 11AM-3PM in Grand Park between Broadway and Spring. Come by and say hi!

The Soft Camp at Grand Park
If you like your kid-firendly art mixed with food trucks and movies, Grand Park in downtown L.A. is the place for you this Saturday night (8/31) starting at 5:30pm. The Popwagon will be a part of Street Food Cinema’s movies in the park series and will be presenting the latest production of The Soft Camp – a hands-on theatrical installation where kids can enjoy the antics of Ida and Rudy then climb up on stage to act out their own comedies with interactive props and scenic elements. After that, everyone’s welcome to relax in L.A.’s fanciest park for an outdoor screening of The Neverending Story
Next appearance of The Soft Camp
Look for the Popwagon this Sunday, August 10, at 11:30AM at Lindberg Park in Culver City!
