CHRIS KRAUS AND BRUCE HAINLEY IN ECHO PARK

Last fall, a Boyle Heights anti-gentrification protest prevented Chris Kraus (After Kathy Acker) and Bruce Hainley (Under the Sign of [sic]: Sturtevant’s Volte-Face) from meeting as scheduled at 356 Mission to discuss Kraus’ Acker biography.

Their conversation is back on, relocated to Echo Park.
