The Avant/Garde Diaries presents Transmission LA: AV CLUB, curated by Mike D, an interdisciplinary festival featuring the work of 16 contemporary artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, and chefs, including Peter Coffin, Jim Drain, Will Fowler, Benjamin Jones, Mike Mills, Takeshi Murata, and Tom Sachs. The presentation will include the international debut of the Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupé and an evening concert and DJ series featuring performances by many special guests, including Santigold.

The 17-day festival will illustrate how audio and visual art forms complement and influence each other, through various exhibitions, concerts, DJ nights, performances, and installations,. The event’s logo embodies Mike D’s artistic concept, depicting the letters A (for audio) and V (for visual) as inextricably fused.

Participating artists: Cory Arcangel; Sanford Biggers; Roy Choi; Peter Coffin; Jim Drain; Jim Drain/Ara Peterson; Family Books, David Jacob Kramer; Will Fowler, Jonah Freeman/Justin Lowe; Ben Jones; Robert McKinley; Mike Mills; Takeshi Murata; Ara Peterson, Public Fiction; Tom Sachs; Sage Vaughn.

Some friends of mine went on Friday and said it was a blast (I was at home with food poisoning).

Good to hear because I am definitely gonna be at Z's date and possibly Murphy's

[knytt]

I'll (hopefully) be there for Mr. Murphy!

[nosurprises12]

Murphy will be great, but Harvey is the icing on the cake that day. I'll be there for sure.

I just noticed I can't go anyways. The Boss set times won't allow the double dip. Oh well, guess will have to wait for James Murph/DJ Harvey one. If you go report back on how it was.

Z trip put on a great show. Good crowd too. You could tell z was feeling the love. The event and exhibits were completely free btw. Paid four bucks for parking

Website froze at the "Add to Cart" page, so I got locked out for Harvey/Murphy tomorrow. If anyone managed to snag an extra they wouldn't mind parting with I would be infinitely grateful.

the line was a little long by 7PM for non-RSVPs, but only waited an hour til I finally got in through the gates... nice tribute by Diplo to include Intergalactic into his set.
