This is not America either

Summery: This book is "a commentary on Los Angeles as the theme city for the post-New-Deal America - "a biomodel boomtown on a metropolitan scale." Filled with black-and-white images of Hollywood as well as downtown, East and South-Central Los Angeles, this quasi-montage is a journey through the street life of Los Angeles. It challenges the notion that America is a glamorous haven for all."

Artists at work. Volume 1

Summary: "East of Borneo's Artists at Work interviews seek to let L.A. artists speak for themselves. Artists at Work: Volume One collects ten of these artist interviews... Together they speak across the city's past and present creative cultures. They speak of the questions they are motivated to confront in their work on a daily basis, and of their habits, rituals, and inspirations. They speak of the earth, bodies, gender hacking, rising rent, cats, and flesh-eating beetles. They consider notions of "knowledge," "legacy," and "success" in the art world--and new worlds. They speak of their experiences actually being artists in L.A."

Speaking the matter : an oral history workbook from East Borneo & Los Angeles Contemporary Archive

"SPEAKING THE MATTER is a skill-building and reference book for artists developing oral histories and interview-based projects. [Includes:] MOTIVES & PRACTIVES - 12 Worksheets & 4 Agreements ; Recording Checklist & Glossary of Terms; INTERVIEWING; ANNOTATIONS; Experimenting with an ARCHIVIST SUMMARY; READING LIST. This workbook approaches the practice and application of oral narratives as a co-constructed creative endeavor rather than reparative 'truth' work. Resisting the idea of the recorded interview as a neutral historical document, this skill-building workbook instead shares perspectives on listening, remembering, gossiping, framing, and questioning, with the aim of telling our stories not as fixed subjects but as artists who are alive and breathing."
