The Last Book
An illuminated manuscript for the 21st century by Steve Fagin
October 2008
Text: Mary Gaitskill
Moving Images: Leslie Thornton
Music: Greg Landau
Electronics: Shannon Spanhake and William Brent
Graphic Design: Joel Swanson
Illustrations: Davina Semo
'The Last Book,' directed by Steve Fagin, resurrects the medieval illuminated manuscript through the invocation of our current alchemy, new technologies. To conjure a future as the past in reverse, a one of a kind book, including handwritten text, moving images, and sound, will be produced. As in ancient cultures, the meaning of the book will only be fully available as a performative entity. In other circumstance it will be available to be looked at, but never to be touched, or read from by the community at large. The text will be provided by Mary Gaitskill and the moving images courtesy of Leslie Thornton.
Kyong Park invites you to the arrival of '24260: The Fugitive House'
Submitted by yolietorres on Mon, 06/09/2008 - 10:51am. Faculty ProjectYou are invited to join Kyong Park in the arrival of
24260: The Fugitive House
Wednesday June 11th, 9AM-till its unloaded from a 40 feet container,
and properly stored in an empty lot of 2635 Logan Ave, San Diego, CA 92113.
An empty house from Detroit was 'stolen' by me, Kyong Park, together with a group of students and faculty members of University of Detroit Mercy, back in the late winter/spring of 2001, and was taken to Orlean, France. Known as '24260: The Fugitive House,' it has since been traveling in Europe through more than 10 cities, pretending to be a work of art, presenting itself in different exhibitions, including in "Shrinking Cities" project. Its real purpose was to find a 'kinder and gentler" city than Detroit, where it could find a new home. But Europe is becoming just as neo-liberal and neo-con as here in the USA, so it is coming to San Diego, the "America's Finest City," and will give a shot at settling down here. Fittingly, it will be stored in Barrio Logan, a place where all the 'unwanted' are tossed away. The dream is that 24260 would be re-united with me (Kyong Park), in the opulence of Southern California, perhaps 'face-lifted' to become a functional abode, an appropriate ending for the nomadic life we both have shared, but separately, in Europe for 5-7 years.
You are welcome to celebrate or help for whatever time you have.

Neighborhood Public Radio is a guerilla radio broadcast group who share their moniker, NPR, with the station they critique through community-based, noncommercial programming. Setting up temporary booths to stream content onto the internet, or using low-power portable FM transmitters, NPR's nomadic team—anchored by artists Linda Arnejo, Whiz Biddlecombe, Jon Brumit, Lee Montgomery, Katina Papson, and Michael Trigilio — broadcasts live shows from galleries, residences, and neighborhood points of interest. Parodying National Public Radio in particular, Neighborhood Public Radio believes corporate sponsorship of ostensibly public stations compromises freedom of speech and isolates communities through cultural homogenization.

Nicholas Rombes says that “Today, the real has become the new avant-garde” (200). This idea of avant-garde realism refers to the fact that now reality itself has become an experimental art form that filmmakers today are taking advantage of. Reality is something that everyone is exposed to and experiences; therefore, the audience that is experiencing this experimental reality can empathize and truly relate to it. However, another aspect of cinema is to set the audience in an experience that is outside the norm of their everyday lives.
