Lightness & Darkness Wants to be Your Friend
Brand-spankin' new multimedia book project Lightness & Darkness will throw its release party and first performance on January 28 at Happy Dog Gallery (1542 N. Milwaukee), a Wicker Park apartment gallery and alternative art space.
The L & D release features musical performances by three-piece punk ensemble Wishgift, electro-rockers She Speaks in Tongues, a solo set with AJ Cesena
(Videotape, Violet Mice), and Lightness & Darkness' brand new sonic-literary collaboration with members of Lady Rollins, The Speers. The show also includes brand new experimental readings, film screenings and collaborative pieces from L & D's contributors and friends.
The show marks the formal release of Lightness & Darkness, created by writer/self publisher/artists Taleen Kalenderian (DUM DUM Zine, Talzine) and Nicki Yowell ('Za the Pizza Zine, Flush). L & D is a print experiment in dualities and overlapping art mediums: prose, poetry, illustration, design, film and music.
