On October 27, INSITE and haudenschildGarage celebrated the launch of INSITE’s newest publication: Journal 08: Erratic Fields, with an evening at the Garage. Eloisa Haudenschild, Carmen Cuenca and Michael Krichman, Co-Directors of INSITE, welcomed guests, followed by a book presentation and a conversation with contributors Mark Dion, Andrea Torreblanca, and Caroline Tracey.
Journal 08 is the result of five years of research, artist commissions, expeditions, conversations, and an exhibition. It explores how nature shapes the psychological, societal, and political realms of “The Californias” and informs the region’s cultural imagination, and it features newly commissioned texts by Johnnie Chatman, TJ Demos, Fonna Forman, and Caroline Tracey.
The evening also marked the opening of the Garage’s renewed public life, as Eloisa looks to make the space a more active gathering place for artists, collectors, and friends. Guests enjoyed cocktails and light bites from Alchemy – Choose Thy Poison. A video of the conversation will be available soon.
