820 pm [LA]
event: 'Pecha Kucha'
Mountain Bar (473 Gin Ling Way; Chinatown; downtown LA)
info: 323-852-7145 [LA Forum]; info@laforum.org
detail: Part of LA Forum's Nights at the Mountain series, with architect John Southern as our host. Pecha Kucha is a Japanese term that roughly translates as chit-chat, or perhaps as irritating chatter. Pecha Kucha is a lot of fun for short attention spans. Pecha Kucha is a new kind of venue for anyone involved in, or interested in, architecture, design, fashion, and art. Originally created by Tokyo's Klein Dytham Architects, Pecha Kucha consists of 20 people showing 20 images each, each for 20 seconds. The presentations start at 8:20 (20:20 in military time). There will be no running over, there will be no turning back, there will be no cover. Be sure to bring your friends and come thirsty. Pecha Kucha is intended to inspire a broad mix of participants - from well-known practitioners to students, recent graduates, and new firms presenting their work for the first time. Since Robert Sumrell and the Forum brought PK night to Los Angeles in 2004, the event has spread to the London ICA and the Burgdorf School of Architecture in Czechoslovakia. Come join us. Deadline for submissions is Sunday, February 26.
