DESCRIPTION:SAT. 9/20: WELCOME TO MARS + SHAW PRELINGER \n+ DAVIS +                   
 \nKook-expert Ken Hollings jets in from London-town for the North American 
 book-launch of his sub-pop Cult Study of Fifties America, on the bizarre 
 intersection of cybernetics, behavior modification, atomic weapons, and 
 UFOs, highlighting how these currents were refracted through the visual 
 surfaces of popular culture, domestic design, and suburban living. 
 Responding from the US side, Megan Shaw Prelinger, representing her own 
 forthcoming book Another Science Fiction: Advertising the Space Race, 
 recalls the Eisenhower years with a fascinating flight through a pictorial 
 history of aerospace ads, retrieved from her own SoMA library. For the 
 third leg of this Cold War re-visitation, local A/V artist John Davis 
 returns from, yes, Moldavia (formerly part of Romania), with the 
 media-archeological remains of the very last Soviet newsreels, reflecting 
 on this same period, but from the other side of the “Iron Curtain”! He 
 screens the most astonishing agit-prop artifacts, and in fact performs an 
 original sonic score, to a particularly uncanny iteration of Socialist 
 Sur-Realism.\n$6. \n\n
