Kathleen Laziza, founding artist of Micro Museum (MM¨). Plus monthly guest musicians
collaborating with notable video maker and MM¨ co-founder William Laziza in a
fresh new ÒVideoscopoÓ act at 8 PM.
On April 7 Micro Museum will highlight recording guitarist John Valeri.
Always innovative, Micro Museum is a thriving
20 year old living art center on Smith Street that was founded by William and
Kathleen Laziza in 1986 as an incubator to prepare and present their formidable
art production and repertory AKA ÒThe Laziza Electrique Dance Company. They represent a pioneering
interdisciplinary force collaborating with media and performance that launched
public access TV nationwide circa 1970.
To this day MM¨ operates a monthly public access TV program in Brooklyn
on the local channels called SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. Home to hundreds of working artists and students MM¨ has
achieved iconic status with journalist Trudy Whitman of Brooklyn Heights Press
remarking Òbefore Smith Street was Smith Street there was Micro MuseumÓ. Open for professional use
weekdays by appointment or to the general public on Saturdays from 12 – 7
PM. $2 per person. Plus special opening parties every
month.
Festively, those who come dressed in the color
of the monthly theme will receive a free gift! In addition there will be a popular vote throughout the
entire series where a single artist from each color category will be invited
back in Nov/Dec with a special rainbow celebration on November 3. On that occasion William and Kathleen
Laziza will perform one of their signature performance works ÒMIXOLOGYÓ. They will continue to present MIXOLOGY
on Saturdays at 7 PM until December 15.
