Jonah Freeman, Justin Lowe and Jennifer Herrema present Scenario In The Shade, a new project based on a book of amateur ethnographic studies about the youth subcultures of Southern California. The collection, compiled and edited by journalist Elizabeth Stone, is a tour through 150 years of marginalized and often dissenting groups. Behaviors, patterns and power structures are chronicled in a collage of unconstructed data, half finished studies and, in certain cases, pure fiction.
Freeman and Lowe have constructed a new film that explores a selection of narratives from the book through a mise-en-scène comprised strictly of objects and environments. The film will be presented within an exhibition of their signature architectural sequence of interiors.
Accompanying the film and exhibition will be a sonic mash-up concocted and compiled by Jennifer Herrema, who has pulled together a veritable bitches brew of contributors that include Neil Hagerty, Bobby Gillespie, MGMT, Lizzi Bougatsos, Alexis Taylor and Kurt Vile, to name a few. This will act as both soundtrack to the film and spatial audio mix within the environments.
Collaborators: Devendra Banhart, Lizzi Bougatsos (I.U.D.), Kurt Vile, Jennifer Herrema, Kurt Midness with Brian McKinley and Nadav Eisenman (Royal Trux, RTX, Black Bananas), Neil Hagerty (Royal Trux, Howling Hex, NMH), Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Benjamin Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden (MGMT), Simon O’Connor (Simon Doom), Bobby Gillespie/Andrew Innes (Primal Scream), Mario Rubalcaba (OFF, Earthless), Grant Garretson and H.R.
