WHEN WE reconvene in April, our guest that night will be the artist J. Michael Walker. He will be in class to speak about his various L.A.-rooted projects, among them "All the Saints of Los Angeles" and "City in Mind" his literary map of Los Angeles. Please do a little research on him and be prepared to ask questions about his project. I will be calling on everyone to participate in the evening's discussion. He will be traveling from Highland Park to speak about his work as an artist and poet/essayist. His website
is here.
I think you'll enjoy his take on the city.
The photo above is from a studio visit I made a little earlier in the semester to see the map. He's pointing to Chavez Ravine now the home of Dodger Stadium, but we'll talk l more about that complicated history tonight in class.
