Final event of Los Angeles Goes Live
Join us for a culminating moment of Spirit Resurrection with performances by Elizabeth Leister, Stephanie Allespach, Elizabeth Folk and Margaret Haines with a screening of a performance by Stephen Van Dyck.

Each artist has created new works inspired by the original scores available on Spirit Resurrection, an archive for historical documents from and about the Public Spirit festival in 1980.

Open access to the history has inspired a diversity of both performers and interpretations of earlier works by Kim Jones, Nancy Buchanan, The Kipper Kids, Sandra Binion, Allan Kaprow and others. Other Spirit Resurrection performances happening over the course of the week include re-inventions byLiz Glynn and Mateo Tannatt, Elana Mann and Stephen Van Dyck.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Stephanie Allespach is a German American artist/curator who lives and works in Los Angeles and Berlin. Born in Texas, she grew up between Ohio and Germany. Committed to a project based practice, she seeks ideas and images that inform one another in unpredictable ways. Working in a variety of mediums, her practice explores concepts between documentary observation and everyday theatricality. In particular the interlacing of the imaginary and the real as expressed within environments as object and through performed body. Allespach received her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA from the Art Center College of Design. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, as well as screened and performed at various institutions such as: The Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Southwest Museum, Torrence Museum of Art, The Fowler Museum, American Cinematheque, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, Outpost for Contemporary Art and Armory Center for the Arts (Pasadena).

Elizabeth Folk is a sculpture, installation, performance, and video artist. Many of her works exist as insertions into public spaces that invite audience interaction or collaboration. Folk’s Just Play! Restaurant, a life-sized restaurant board game, was recently featured at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Art Forum. You may have seen Glory Spa, her mobile spa vending machine engaging a space in your neighborhood. Folk received her Masters of Fine Art from the University of California, Santa Barbara and her Bachelors of Fine Art from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She teaches for the College of Creative Studies and the Art Department at UCSB, and 4-D and New Genres for the Art Department at Santa Barbara City College.   More at elizabethfolk.com
