Acorn Gallery — 135 N. Avenue 50, Highland Park Solo performance by Jeff Boyton at NELAart’s Second Saturday, October 14, 6 to 10 pm, show at 8 pm Free Circuit Bending workshop Saturday, October 21, 1 pm Bring a battery operated toy or other sound making device and learn how to disrupt it’s innards and make cool music.
Circuit bending is the art of opening up electronic sound devices and intentionally short-circuiting them in search of interesting and never-before-heard sounds. Such devices can range from cheap kids’ toys to sophisticated keyboard instruments. The signs of a burgeoning Bending community are everywhere. New York has hosted the annual Bent Festival since 2004. Benders are putting out their own CD’s like the recently released compilation Noise and Toys Volume 1. Here in northeast LA, you may have seen our very own maestros march in several local parades. As Laura Hauther said in a recent LA Alternative Magazine: “When this motley group of strange-looking, strange-sounding and very loud benders starts marching, the reaction is mixed – generally, children love it and their parents are confused.”

As a salute to our local flocks of parakeets (they actually are not parrots), we will present an interactive installation of sound activated, sound recording, squawky toy parrots. Like our big green flying friends, this work promises to be funny, loud and a bit obnoxious. And did we mention the flying pig? Another feature will be the “Big Hen” vending machine, a vintage toy-egg dispenser. Pop in a quarter to receive an egg filled with original art, charms, and/or messages created by our members. This may be the best deal in town and all proceeds benefit the Collective. A reception for the artists was held Saturday, July 8th from 6 - 9pm, in conjunction with NELAart Second Saturday Gallery Night. Regular gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4pm. When: Saturday, July 8, 2006 6-9 pm

Reading in celebration of Earth
Day: The Acorn Gallery presents the exhibition: “Intimate Geography – Getting To Know a Place,” a group show curated by Deborah Thomas and Linda Anne Hoag, featuring installations, photography and mixed media work by Edith Abeyta, Daniel Marlos, Jennifer Murphy, Deborah Thomas and Linda Anne Hoag. The show offers a collection of imaginative and personal perspectives on how one relates to a particular locale. One goal of the show, which was germinated during a series of conversations between Thomas and Hoag about landscape painting and mapmaking, is to strip away assumptions and conventions about how people locate themselves. The invited artists share a willingness to explore one-of-a-kind encounters with specific locations. In celebration of Earth Day of April 22, poets Laurel Ann Bogen, Jerry Garcia and Linda Anne Hoag and the musical trio Texere will also read and perform at the gallery at 7 p.m. Bogen, Garcia and Hoag are Los Angeles poets who, in the words of Hoag, “share a lineage” and whose work often considers and engages with the place they live. Texere (from the Latin, meaning “to weave, to twine together, to compose”) is a group of three women composers from Northeast Los Angeles who weave together traditional and original music to create a rich aural tapestry of strings and voices.
A reception for the artists was held at The Acorn Gallery in conjunction with NELA Second Saturday Art Walk on Saturday, April 8, 2006, 5-10 pm. Where: The Acorn Gallery, 135
N. Avenue 50, Highland Park
