Just short of its 20th anniversary, the collective Paper Tiger Television comes to PFA/BAM for an artists' residency. It will include two week-long visits by cofounder DeeDee Halleck and other collective members, and a concurrent video series featuring Paper Tiger Television programs past and present, plus new tapes hot from the Republican and Democratic conventions. Hands On! Youth, Media, and Activism After Seattle, a new installation echoing the handmade, low-budget, non-technocratic values of the collective, will be featured in the BAM Theater Gallery. A media-active environment complete with couches assembled from newspapers, it will feature an alternative newsstand and an interactive media station in which Bay Area youth can record their stances on social and political issues. Hands On! runs from August 20 through October 15 and is organized by PTTV, Deep Dish Network, and Independent Media Center. UCB students together with local high school students will be actively involved and will create a new Paper Tiger Television videotape. Collective members and local media activists will also offer a variety of workshops, including zine and stencil making. For information on workshops, please contact PFA at (510) 642-1412. The Paper Tiger residency is a project of The Time of Your Life: Enhancing Student Engagement with the Arts, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts; and of the Consortium for the Arts at UC Berkeley. Thanks to the Independent Media Center, the Video Activist Network, the Film Studies, Art, and Visual Studies Departments at UCB, the many local media collectives and groups who contributed time and resources, and the members of the Paper Tiger Television collective for making this residency possible.
