Welcoming the Summer Stupa

Wait for warm winds to cool
Like waiting for torrential rain at year's end
Like peeking at bird-singing beyond windbreaks by the reservoir
This is us, boring stars.

John Cannizzaro of Smokehouse films joins the Velaslavasay Panorama in a closing celebration of our lobby exhibit Nancy Columbia And The Arctic Beyond with a series of 16mm Polar-related films from the Smokehouse Films Archive.

Sunday, August 5th, 2018 from Noon 'til 6:00 P.M., the Velaslavasay Panorama will be open to the public giving visitors a last chance to explore our lobby exhibit on the life and ephemera of Nancy Columbia, Queen-Of-The-Paystreak. To make way for a new lobby exhibit related to Shengjing Panorama, we bid adieu to materials from the archives of Russell Potter and Kenn Harper.

Intermittently from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M., John Cannizzaro will present 16mm educational and artistic films on the Arctic and Antarctic terrain. This event is part of Maiden LA 2018, an inclusive and expansive county-wide survey of art happenings that in encouraging the use of alternative spaces, considers the city as a platform for generative discourse and exchange.
