Have I mentioned its summer and its fairly quiet on the art front? I highly recommend Emma Spertus and Ian Dolton-Thornton's The Golden Hour, happening through Friday around 8pm (at the titular time which slowly drifts earlier) at S.H.E.D. Projects in Oakland, and tomorrow at the Kadist what looks to be an incredible experience with artist Richard T. Walker. 

Besides those things, maybe its not a bad time to listen to a couple of quick questionnaires maybe?

As this project has gone on its been great to hear, in response to what are admittedly somewhat boring questions, interesting answers which reflect the interlocutor's practice and on them as people. Contact mrharbour@gmail.com to participate, or to suggest questions for future iterations.
