Overview

Oguri's first solo performance after moving to Los Angeles in 1991. Originally presented as 'Untitled', the title was decided on the spot after a request from management. To this day Oguri continues to collaborate with composer Paul Chavez, who was in charge of sound for this performance. The venue, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), was a place of radical avant-garde art in one of the roughest areas of downtown Los Angeles. Housed in a brick building covered in barbed wire, performances attracted members of the punk scene and the gay and lesbian community, among others. Now relocated to Hollywood Boulevard, it continues to put on exciting programs.
