Subject: [804NOISE] Lucent Phoenix Community Library! Grand Opening!
Reply-To: 804noise@yahoogroups.com
In Gallery 5’s never ending pursuit to provide an open space and forum for
social change and awareness, we have created the ‘Lucent Phoenix’ community
library. A non-commercial resource center which aims to help increase dialog
and facilitate that change by providing valuable space and resources not
readily available elsewhere to Richmonder’s. The Lucent Phoenix invites
non-profit and grass roots organizations to meet and organize, present
lectures, workshops, and to utilize the space for future rally’s, protests,
and events as a head quarters or ground zero for their cause. The Lucent
Phoenix will be operated by a dedicated group of volunteers and rely on
donations and grants to fill it’s bookshelves.
Located in the heart of the controversial arts district of Richmond’s
historic black neighborhood, Jackson Ward. In an area which has been
undergoing what some business owners and city leaders would call a
renaissance, the Lucent Phoenix will attempt to provide the tools needed for
our neighbors to fight back the negative effects of gentrification and
perhaps restore some of that historical fight and culture Jackson Ward is
known to have had.
We invite you to attend our grand opening and to bring reading material and
other resources that you believe will help us achieve our goal as a
community resource center that the Jackson Ward neighborhood and the city of
Richmond can be proud to have.
Grand Opening First Friday!

Even if you don’t write songs this is a great blog for its stunningly frank look into creative process: http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/

We’ve reached a point in our civilization where counterculture has mutated into a self-obsessed aesthetic vacuum. So while hipsterdom is the end product of all prior countercultures, it’s been stripped of its subversion and originality.

A new discovery: this project is comprised of six authors, six stories, and six weeks…check it out when you have the time.
it is a small bit of inspiration…
the world is flat, right?
the internal / external juxtaposition interests me. That there might be something completely different and irregular going on inside the form, rather than action happening ‘on top of’ the geometry, pushes issues of rules and boundaries. What sorts of ‘rules’ exist in this world?
some of you may have seen this. but I just love this flash piece of dimension explanation.
is there anything we can do to have it show who is writing the posts? and the links to our subdomains? I can’t seem to figure it out. and, hey, you’ll just have to guess who wrote this… oh wait, maybe the physics thing gave me away… ![]()
