Description
New essays and images capture the quirky essence of Machine Project, where vacations for plants, concerts for dentists, and operas for dogs are a few of the typical offerings produced at the informal, non-profit, educational institution in Los Angeles. Designed in collaboration with Kimberly Varella, this book reflects on Machine Project's ongoing artistic practice, featuring an extensive selection of photographs of past projects and documentation of new performance projects at the Tang Museum by Haruko Tanaka, Krystal Krunch, Hana van der Kolk, Carmina Escobar, Kamau Patton, Dawn Kasper, Joshua Beckman, Asher Hartman, and Chris Kallmyer among others.

"The book -- an encyclopedic undertaking -- is a testament to the particular vision of Mark Allen, Machine Project's founder and executive director... The breadth of subject matter and happenings that Machine Project presented from 2003 to 2015 is delightfully wide-ranging, and the book, presented in collaboration with the Tang Teaching Museum, follows suit." -The Los Angeles Times "The book -- an encyclopedic undertaking -- is a testament to the particular vision of Mark Allen, Machine Project's founder and executive director...
