CULTURE SHOCK*

* An open forum for movers and shakers and renaissance makers, to see
& discuss work directly with contemporary Artists who dare to push our
buttons. CS deals head on with issues of creative process, race,
gender, creed, class and identity. We seek to explore the primal
relationship between culture and community in order to rediscover for
ourselves the artistic/tribal elements that foster our deepest
emotional & intellectual evolution.

And for our next trick, we are offering a huge and heaping dish of
delicious and nutritious "Postcolonial Toasties". Breakfast for dinner
anyone??? Why not! Anything is possible here at Culture Shock!!!

This month we are in for a real treat: artist, artist founder of
Collective Gallery, writer, & overall inspiration VIRGINIE SOMMET will
be our special guest for CULTURE SHOCK II: "Postcolonial Toasties".

Thursday, January 21
7pm - 11pm

A regular fixture on the late 90s / early 00's party scene in Paris &
New York, Virginie's projects have evolved to represent the cultures
and subcultures she moves between. Urban minorities & majorities,
works of meditation, and manifestos on the emerging culture of
travelers culminate in an exemplary life & body of work.
