NewTown, the Altadena-based art collective, is headlining a show at the Armory Center for the Arts, 145 S. Raymond, Pasadena. Open until Jan. 9, 2011, “Convergences: New Sculptural Media” is “one of NewTown’s most ambitious gallery shows, eleven digital natives and media pioneers appropriate the ubiquitous tools of media into cutting-edge, highly personal, curiously accessible experimental art forms. Convergences seamlessly integrates media with sculpture and installation in a cumulatively immersive experience, a multi-station journey through a labyrinth of experiences, interactions, aesthetics and technologies, from garage pillaged elegance to experimental circuitry, guaranteed to stimulate eyes, ears and imaginations.”
October is National Reading Group Month (according to the Women’s National Book Association). Their 2010 list of “Great Group Reads” has 13 books, among them the novel Blame by Alta-novelist Michelle Huneven: “These titles were selected on the basis of their appeal to reading groups for whom they are bound to open up lively conversations about a host of timely and provocative topics, from the intimate dynamics of family and personal relationships to major cultural and world issues.”
