Join us for a 3-day “Book Party Weekend” — celebrating 2 groundbreaking years and release of our fourth art book, One of the Dozens. RSVP to one or all of the events with Links In Bios.

Since 2022, PraxinoscopeX has curated 7 live group exhibitions, showcased over 50 diverse artists, produced 24 podcasts, crafted 6 broadside poet-artist collabos, and published four books and a Substack, documenting interdisciplinary performances — including poetry, song, experimental music, dance, prose, comedy, performance art, one-act plays, and short films.

Come get your own “One of the Dozens: Performance Art in Los Angeles,” (202 pages full-color), which documents and comments on twelve duets by twenty-two artists, presented December 8, 2022 at Beyond Baroque in Venice, California. 

To celebrate this milestone, we’re throwing a three-day “Book Party Weekend” hosted by three beloved indie bookshops:
* The Libros of Lincoln Heights, on Friday, February 23rd, 7:00 – 9:00 PM
*
* Tomorrow Today on Saturday, February 24th, 7:00 – 9:00 PM
* .us
* North Figueroa Bookshop on Sunday, February 25th, 4:00 – 6:00 PM
*

The “Book Party Weekend” will feature works by sixteen artists over three days, presenting poetry, prose, songs, performances, and short films. Attendees can expect a diverse and vibrant performance experience.

The following is the tentative line-up for each evening:
* The Libros of Lincoln Heights, on Friday, February 23rd, 7:00 – 9:00 PM
