This Saturday: ZAQISTAN!



June 27, 2pm

In 2005, Zaq Landsberg purchased two acres of land from eBay and declared independence from the United States, creating the Republic of Zaqistan. Landsberg will speak to US-Zaqistan relations in a Post 9/11 context, Nation Building, National Security, Sovereignty and Zaqistani history and culture. Applications for Zaqistan passports will be available for all in attendance.

Landsberg will not take any questions about the Zaqistan Uranium Enrichment Program. No such program exists and anything said to the contrary is false.

More Make Sport Photos!




Thanks again to the Circle Rules Federation! Everyone had an awesome time.

THIS SATURDAY!
JUNE 13!
2-4!
THE HAND DRAWN MAP ASSOCIATION!
DRAWING A GIANT MAP OF BALTIMORE!

Actual, non-caps lock description:

The Hand Drawn Map Association
(HDMA) collects maps that depict an
array of spaces, from people all around
the world. The HDMA encourages people
to think about and share how they
visualize the world they live in. Join us for
a workshop on the importance of hand
drawn cartography and help us draw a
large-format map of Baltimore!

June 20: Make Sport! 1-4
Participants play and analyze several
popular sports, assessing their strengths
and weaknesses. What void does each
of these games fill? How could they
serve a different purpose, engage a
different audience, and incorporate a
different skill set? Working in various
methods with members of the Circle
Rules Federation
, participants will adjust
popular sports and build new sports that
challenge their artistic sensibilities.
Please dress for athletic excellence.

PF Fort Building




Using some of the textile remnants that were gathered for the loom, we made a makeshift shelter in the gallery, where we ate some PB&J by flashlight and computer-generated campfire, courtesy of youtube.
