Forum Lounge: Lucky Dragons
"Lucky Dragons" is a collaborative project facilitated by Los Angeles-based artists Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara. Lucky Dragons relies heavily on participation, openly engaging audiences and passersby in the creation of the artwork. An important aspect of Lucky Dragons' performance pieces is the publishing and distribution of multiples, in the form of books, recordings, and posters, low-cost and widely accessible to the public. With participation ranging from the intense intimacy of two people, to the public spectacle of several thousand people, to the internet's infinite capacity for exchange, at the heart of it all is playing together--building up social collectivities in both public and private spaces, and re-engaging, with wonder, the technologies that connect us.
Support for Forum Lounge is generously provided by: Endevermusic Productions, the Franciscan Inn, KCSB, Santa Barbara Winery, and the Santa Barbara Independent. Forum Lounge is presented in association with the Santa Barbara Downtown Organization’s 1st Thursday.
