SUMMARY:National Book Launch: Documentado/Undocumented Ars Shamanica Performatica
DESCRIPTION:
 Spoken word performance by Felicia Rice, Moving 
 Parts Press\n
 \n
 Discussion about artist books 
 by Diana Rivera, MSU Libraries\n
 \n
 Light refreshments 
 to follow performance\n
 \n
 A traveling 
 case for apprentice shamans\n
 A reliquary for 
 imaginary saints\n
 A toolbox for self-transformation\n
 A 
 quiet call to heal yourself with 
 fetishes and antidotes\n
 A border kit to face 
 the uncertainty of future crossings\n
 A new project, 
 seven years in the making\n
 \n
 What is it 
 exactly? A stage for an intimate one-on-one 
 performance? An unusual video screening room? 
 A personal multi-media altar? A "vanity" used 
 for preparing for a performance?\n
 It is all 
 these things and it is also an original book, 
 a performative artists' book in search of 
 a new format \n
 and a new audience. Each element 
 stands by itself, but together they form an 
 indescribable whole.\n
 \n
