LAND AND SEA IS A SMALL PRESS BASED IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA RUN BY MARIA OTERO AND CHRIS DUNCAN. LAND AND SEA BEGAN DURING THE FINAL DAYS OF 2009 AND HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN PUBLISHING SMALL EDITIONS OF BOOKS AND RECORDS BY ARTISTS FROM THE BAY AREA AND BEYOND. UNDER THE SAME MONIKER, CHRIS AND MARIA ORGANIZE GATHERINGS THAT CELEBRATE THE ARTISTS THEY WORK WITH AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITIES THEY ARE A P
ART OF. LAND AND SEA ARE PROUD TO HAVE THEIR EDITIONS IN THE COLLECTIONS OF THE SFMOMA, THE BERKELEY ART MUSEUM, STANFORD LIBRARY, AND THE NYMOMA. DURING 2015, LAND AND SEA OPENED ITS STUDIO SPACE IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA FOR GATHERINGS THAT WILL COMBINE VISUAL, SONIC, PERFORMANCE AND LITERARY ARTS, AS WELL AS POP-UPS FOR OTHER SMALL PUBLISHERS AND CULTURAL FACILITATORS. IT IS OUR HOPE TO PRESENT A SERIES OF DYNAMIC PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT OFTEN SEEN IN OUR AREA. WE ARE DEVELOPING AN OPEN SPACE FOR EXPERIMENTATION AND FAILURE, TO GIVE YOUNG THINKERS AND MAKERS EARLY OPPORTUNITIES TO COMMUNICATE, AND MORE SEASONED MAKERS A SPACE TO CHALLENGE THEIR COMFORT ZONE. EVENTS AT LAND AND SEA WILL GENERALLY BE FREE TO ATTEND, HOWEVER IT IS LIKELY THERE WILL BE OBJECTS, EDITIONS AND FOOD TO PURCHASE. AS WELL, IF WE ARE HOSTING PERFORMERS FROM OUT OF TOWN, WE WILL PROBABLY PASS A HAT AROUND. AS A SPACE, LAND AND SEA WILL TAKE A STANCE TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD, BY USING OUR LITTLE PLATFORM TO PRIMARILY PRESENT WOMEN, LGBTQ AND FOLKS OF COLOR. LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
