ABOUT THE ARTIST


POLIS is a project of La Perla Community Garden. through the years, the garden has hosted an extensive list of poets and musicians who have used this garden for presentations of their work. The garden has also hosted theater presentations.

The primary languages used in the garden are Spanish and English.



ARTISTS STATEMENT


There is a grounding that is a requirement of llife. we function around and through a virtual reality with, often, only a nodding relationship to the physicality of both ourselves and our world.
The consequence of a virtual show manifesting in a most obvious (garden) form of physical reality is even more exciting than the diversified presentations that may occur.

POLIS: definition. a community center. a place where a community dialogue occurs. perhaps a sacred ground.

The barbeque will probably be great.
