The West Coast debut of Laura Harrison and Beth Federici's feature doc Space, Land and Time: Underground Adventures with Ant Farm delves into the work of that renegade '70s architecture collective, best known for its iconic land-art installation-piece in Amarillo, TX--Cadillac Ranch. Radical architects, video pioneers (Media Burn, Eternal Frame), and mordantly funny cultural commentators, the Ant Farmers (Chip Lord and Curtis Schreier here in person, Doug Michels deceased) built a body of subversive work that questions the status quo by posing a set of creative and comedic alternatives, mashing up Bucky Fuller and NASA with a love of trashy backyard Americana. Preceded by: Ms. Megan Prelinger, everyone's favorite librarian, with an amazing array of archival media artifacts from one of her marvelous Cabinets of Curiosity. Her nuanced readings offer personal guidance on this half-hr. tour of Space Race oddities, including the Birth of the Orbis Electronic Computer, All About Polymorphics, and home movies from the China Lake Weapons Center. TV dinners, Pop Rocks & Coke, and other explosive drink specials! $6
