East of Borneo presents SUMMER ISSUES COOPERATIVE, a two-week exhibition in the form of a pop-up newsstand at Greene Exhibitions in Culver City. The generosity-based event will distribute current and archival art magazines contributed by over 20 nonprofit publishers from Los Angeles, New York, London, and Vancouver, all of which will be made available to take home free of charge. Visitors are also encouraged to bring in their own magazines to trade or donate, creating an exhibition will expand and contract each day as publications are removed the newsstand and others are placed back into circulation.
 
Participating publishers include: Afterall, BOMB, Cabinet, Concord, East of Borneo, Esopus, Fillip, Insert Blanc Press, Los Angeles Review of Books, Material, Native Strategies, Night Papers, Paper Monument, Pep Talk, Public Fiction, Triple Canopy, X-TRA, and more.
 
The event will culminate on July 13 with a BBQ + Wikipedia Editathon focused at “unforgetting” Los Angeles artists and unrepresented aspects of the city‘s cultural history.

CalArts was ranked America’s number one college for students in the arts by Newsweek/The Daily Beast. With its six related schools: Art, Critical Studies, Dance, Film/Video, Music and Theater, CalArts is unique in its multidisciplinary approach to studying the arts and is one of the first schools in the country to offer World Music for performance. CalArts encourages students to recognize and explore the complexity of the aesthetic, social and political aspects of the arts. It is supported by its distinguished faculty of practicing artists and provides its BFA, MFA and DMA students with both the hands-on training and the engagement with the cultural community necessary for artists’ growth. CalArts was founded in 1961—and opened in 1969—as the first institution of higher learning in the U.S. specifically for students interested in pursuing degrees in the visual and performing arts.
