11:11 A Creative Collective and the City of South Pasadena present The Poetry of Place. It is a city of contradictions and concessions.
A city of big dreams and gasoline. Of diversity and opportunity, of palm trees and the Pacific. A place where the people who call it home are inexorably shaped by it. The Poetry of Place features 16 visual artists and contemporary poets whose sense of place is entwined with their creative process.
Through this exhibition, a poem is composed. Each artist contributes their narrative, their memory and vision. 16 artists each creating a single line in a beautiful patchwork of perspective, a ballad about this place we share: Los Angeles.
The opening reception will be held in conjunction with the quarterly South Pasadena Arts Crawl on Saturday, February 15 from 5pm-9pm at the South Pasadena City Hall.
Show will run February 15 – April 9, 2020.
The courtyard will feature artistic projections using images and video from South Pasadena’s rich archives and featured poets will be performing readings throughout the evening. Refreshments will be served and the artists will be in attendance.
“…a ballad about this place we share: Los Angeles.”
Hey, close enough for government work.
