Loren Means pioneered in making found footage films in the early Sixties, showing his films with Bruce Conner's found footage films at 1090 Page St. SF, with live soundtracks by Big Brother and the Holding Company. One of Loren's found footage films, Wolfenstein Franks the Meetwoman, won a prize at the Saginaw, Michigan 8mm Film Festival in 1968.
In the late Sixties he started painting on film, and founded the f8 Filmaker's Cooperative, which held the first 8mm film festival in 1967.
In the Seventies Loren played improvised electronic music with the Henry Kaiser Quartet at such venues as Keystone Korner and the Oakland Museum. The recordings he made with Russel Baba and Dennis Saputelli, among others, constitute his film soundtracks.
Douglas Katelus produces avant-garde film showings regularly at New Nothing Studio, and has shown his films at Artist's Television Access, RX Gallery, and 21 Grand. He led a band called Reagan's Memory, and also plays with Black Pearl Stepchild, also with Randylee Sutherland.
Randylee Sutherland has also played in the bands Woman's Worth and Sword and Sandals, and is head of the CD-R label Freak Out.

David Michalak filmaker/musician plays a Fender lap steel guitar and an assortment of odd percussion instruments. While he is more commonly known as a filmmaker (50 films with original soundtracks since 1971), the visual art side of him seeps inherently into his solo performances and group compositions which are characterized by shimmering passages, abstract snapshots and haunting representations of natural elements. Besides Ghost In The House, David plays in his instrumental ensemble Reel Change as well as the duo, Dr. Bob. Some musicians that he is currently performing with are: Tom Nunn, Andrew Voigt, Bob Marsh, Carla Kihlstedt, Karen Stackpole and Kyle Bruckmann.

ALSO CHECK OUT THE LUGGAGE STORE INSTALLATION!
***In “Feral,” a new installation at the luggage store, the collaborative team of Canilao and Swoon, use their practice of portraiture and building immersive environments to stitch together a scene populated by wicked women and feral girls.

“the baba yaga waits for you at the center of the wood. the two from which they fell. the edges come apart. the center goes astray. the safety and routine of domesticity are no longer able to confine or describe a fitting existence, and sometimes one just walks out of this life and into another.” (Swoon) 

Using wood, paper, paint and found materials, Canilao and Swoon will create a map of a world that builds itself --just that side of the fringes.***


Cost : $6-10
