Yet another exciting show, this time on a Tuesday evening!

Drought Spa (U.S.A.) – is alex cruse and Kevin CK Lo.

alex cruse is an Oakland-based writer, artist, and educator, whose work synthesizes poetry, video, installation, and new media. She is interested in systems of governmentality/surveillance as social modalities; technology’s capacity to both build and dismantle informational and linguistic structures, and the politics of representation produced therein.

Kevin CK Lo is a composer, choreographer, writer and artist living between Oakland and Melbourne. In his compositions for live performance and installation, he utilizes instruments, digital sound processing and generative programming environments to examine spatial and auditory sensitivities, topological structure and audience kinesthetic response while seeking to corrupt conventional compositional/performative/installation rationale.
