P.L.A.T.O

I've been invited to participate in a conceptual installation that will be part of Perry Vasquez' upcoming show. The show will feature his new work - a series of poligraphic prints - and "Title Piece", a collaborative preformance in which participants are asked to answer the question, "What do the letters in P.L.A.T.O. stand for?"

In true Platonic form, Perry will select one of our answers from his initiated dialogue as the title for this show, but all answers will remain on view.

Perry will speak at the beginning of the show, followed by one of his animated performance drawings, video mixing by Armando de la Torre and a Latin music set by DJ Lucha.
