[charmschool]

Hi Everyone-

Flux will be presenting their screening series at the Hammer Museum this Wednesday, February 25, 7-11pm.

Don't miss this! Highlights include:
The World Premiere of PSST! 3, a collaborative new film project featuring shorts by a worldwide network of designers, directors, animators, and composers. PSST! founder and curator Bran Dougherty-Johnson will be in attendance to present the films.

The evening will also include the Premiere of two N.A.S.A. videos from its highly-anticipated new release The Spirit of Apollo: "Gifted" featuring Kayne West, Santogold and Lykke Li, directed by Three Legged Legs and "A Volta", directed by Logan in collaboration with The Date Farmers. The NASA videos were spearheaded by filmmaker Syd Garon who will be presenting the new works along with Casey Hunt, Greg Gunn and Reza Rasoli of Three Legged Legs and Alexei Tylevich of Logan.

A special screening of Become a Microscope - 90 Statements on Sister Corita: an innovative new short film from Beautiful Losers director Aaron Rose with music by Money Mark and Becky Stark will be featured on Wednesday night. The 22 minute film tells the story of Sister Mary Corita, the California nun who captured the national imagination in the turbulent 60s by making art that influenced a generation of Americans.

Those N.A.S.A. videos are actually pretty cool because they collaborate with artists we know.

Here's one they did with Shepard Fairey


And here's one they did with Marcel Dzama


Apparently new one will have Date Farmers...

OK guys here is my idea of a good time. Hit the Mark Dean Veca installation at UCSD and listen to his talk about his work calendar.ucsd.edu/DisplayEventDetail.asp?iEventID=21275&iSubCatID=1&iRoomID=45
then hit the Casbah for the first NASA show in the US and only show in SoCal before Coachella.www.casbahmusic.com/schedule.php, who knows who might show up with over 40 artists contributing to their record and their recent involvement with Fairey.
BTW, Dean Veca lecture=free
NASA show= $12
