Nature of Place Symposium




Leslie is giving a presentation at the first Land Heritage Instute Art-Sci Symposium, “The Nature of Place: Land Art/Land Use.” Their schedule boasts an exciting collection of speakers and presentations about Land Art and public art vs. private art, among other related subjects.

This free and open event will be held October 24-25 at the San Antonio Toyota Manufacturing Plant Visitors Center, located directly across the Medina River from the 1200 acre Land Heritage Institute site in the southern-most sector of San Antonio.

Double Thunder showing at Antimatter Film Festival!




Prestigious yearly Canadian film festival "Antimatter", which is taking place on October 9-17 this year, will have Potter-Belmar Labs' short "Double Thunder" in its roster of prodigious screenings. While the program guide is not to be up at their website until mid-September, I happen to know that they will be playing Double Thunder on October 14.

Some history: dedicated readers may recall that PBL participated in the festival last year with their Fortune performance.
