royal road test repair

On Tuesday. June 25, starting at 6 pm, I will be participating in a typewriter event called Royal Road Test Repair, which is part of a series of field tests taking place at 1067 Pacific Street in Brooklyn, NY.

The event takes its name from a book artist Ed Ruscha, musician Mason Williams and photographer Patrick Blackwell published in 1967. They threw a Royal 10 out the side window of a Buick Le Sabre at 90 mph in the middle of the California desert and documented the resulting wreckage as if it were a crime scene. They called the book Royal Road Test.

The contours of this event are still in formation. I know this: I'll be repairing my Royal Model 10. Then I hope to do something extravagant with it. If you're in NYC, perhaps you care to share your ideas.

                                   June 17th-June 25th

1067 PacificPeople are performing Field Tests at the Test-Site each day from June 17th through June 25th.
Join us at the Pacific Test-Site (1067 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, bet. Classon & Franklin, http://goo.gl/ugOcy.)
We are exploring different types of social gatherings to look into the economy of the ephemeral.
The interventions at 1067 Pacific Test-Site are occurring in parallel with SHUTTLE, a mobile desert performance project ranging from California to Arizona.
Andrea will depart from the Pacific Test-Site on June 26th to join SHUTTLE and will travel and perform with them in the desert ecology  (http://performingmobilities.net/).

Onward.  We hope to be with you one of the social feasts. Upward.:) 1067 PacificPeople
