The next iotaSalon will be held July 18th 2011 . Stay tuned for more details!

At our salons, we get together to screen and discuss new experimental film and video works. Artists are invited to submit their works for screening at the salon, and we follow the screening of the films with an informal discussion of techniques and artistic process. The salons are a very important activity for us because they represent the fulfillment of three (and sometimes all four) of our programs. The gathering of artistic minds enriches our Community; the informal screenings add to our Exhibition roster; the photos, video and transcripts create primary resources to bolster our Research program; and - when we screen preserved works - we are showcasing our Preservation efforts.

Below we have listed information on upcoming salons, as well as compiled resources from salons past. When discussion occurs and artists speak about their process, we try to record as much of that interchange as we can. Using Overstream, we have begun transcribing the Q&As so that they can become primary resource documents. By doing this, those outside the LA area can benefit from the salons as well.
