Fulcrum Arts presents 2018’s A_S Festival, a regional celebration of art and science, taking place from Friday, November 2 through Sunday, November 11, 2018. This year’s festival, entitled A_S Festival: City as Wunderkammer, will incorporate the concept of the “wunderkammer,” or “cabinet of curiosities,” as a model for exploring the intersection of art and science. While often described as occupying opposite ends of the spectrum, art and science are instead understood to be powerful engines of contemporary culture. This ongoing festival features exhibitions, performances, and educational programming. As a thematic pivoting point, A_S Festival provides opportunities for discovering the fascinations, curiosities, and tensions ignited by pondering integrations of art and science. Experience the 10-day festival in public spaces and online, in collaboration with a dozen locations including local science and cultural institutions as well as the festival’s own website.

Sculptural painter Francesca Bifulco is proud to present a sneak peek of her multifaceted installation, Forcella Reigns: The Men Who Play Cards, for just three nights – Friday, April 27 through Sunday, April 29, 2018 – at North Hollywood’s ZJU Theatre Group. Bound for Naples, Italy, this hybrid, site-specific, theatrical presentation/art installation is the culmination of a 3-year anthropological study in Forcella, a tough and degraded neighborhood in Naples. There, Bifulco bonded with a group of men who play cards on a corner staircase, Gradini Forcella; unwitting actors in an improvised show put on every day without fail. This preview presents the elements of the installation coexisting with each other in one single location – a black box theatre – where the viewer can experience the work through a temporal narrative and reoccurring imagery. Before its official unveiling in Naples, Bifulco will share Forcella Reigns’ test run with Los Angeles audiences. The artist will be present for the duration of the exhibit-turned-installation (15 hours). Admission is free for all; there is no age limit. ZJU Theatre Group is located at 4850 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601.
