“At Rhizome.org, Mark Tribe supports the creation and dissemination of forward-thinking contemporary art; and LACE is a fixture in LA's anything-goes world of multimedia experimentation. Tribe's Port Huron Project was a national series, wherein the artist recreated historical speeches made by icons of the modern activist Left. This ambitious installation at LACE goes far beyond documentation, evoking the original on-site experience of each of the project's installments with constructed media environments and other elements from Tribe's considerable bag of tricks. In conjunction with this installation, and later featuring additional videos produced during the Sweet Child Solos event itself, Tribe presents a one-night performance event highlighting his inner rock star.”

"I am me and you are you and we are we and we are all together. Corporation t-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday, see how they run? Coming back from Kabul laying in a casket, see how they fly? Something's wrong. The more I want to be me, the more I feel empty. The more I express myself, the more I am drained. The more I run after myself, the tireder I get. Meanwhile, we manage. We blog, we rent apartments, the latest fashionable crap, relationship dramas, who’s hooking up with whom, whatever it takes to hold on. All the existential crutches that allow us to keep dragging on, the dependencies we've contracted as the price of identity. Where do we go, sweet child, where do we go? Where do we go now?"
LACE is pleased to present Sweet Child Solos, a new performance/ installation by Mark Tribe. An evening of solo guitar performances on Tuesday, January 19 will be followed by an installation featuring video of the performances that will run from January 21 through January 31.
