THE MAKING OF THE NEW MAP OF MOSTLANDIA
9.21.08, Reed College, 7-10PM
Passage 2: “A Where”
Mostlandia began as a place existing between the minds of the four members of the arts group The MOST. Group members occasionally made maps of the region depicting their meetings, discoveries and psychogeological landscapes. The MOST’s passing has put Mostlandian cartography in jeopardy.
NEW CONTACT POINTS BETWEEN THE MINDS OF CITIZENS AND NON-CITIZENS ALIKE MUST BE MADE IN ORDER TO CONTINUE MAPPING.
During Psychedelic Sprawl, Mostlandian Citizens Lady Asher and Junior Ambassador will present a brief history of map-making in Mostlandia, and unveil their plans for creating the Great New Map of Mostlandia.
The MOST is dead. Long live Mostlandia!
