ABOUT THE ARTIST
POLIS is a project of La Perla Community Garden. through the years, the
garden has hosted an extensive list of poets and musicians who have used
this garden for presentations of their work. The garden has also hosted
theater presentations.
The primary languages used in the garden are Spanish and English.
ARTISTS STATEMENT
There is a grounding that is a requirement of llife. we function around
and through a virtual reality with, often, only a nodding relationship
to the physicality of both ourselves and our world.
The consequence of a virtual show manifesting in a most obvious (garden)
form of physical reality is even more exciting than the diversified presentations
that may occur.
POLIS: definition. a community center. a place where a community dialogue
occurs. perhaps a sacred ground.
The barbeque will probably be great.
