Opening Night at TBA:11
It is that time of year again, and PICA's annual Time Based Arts festival kicked off its opening night last night. A raucous and symbolic party marked the beginning of the festival and could not have been complete without Patrick Rock's inflatable pink elephant (entered through the anus, of course), the throng of six thousand excited young art appreciators, and the attendance of our dear city's mayor. Here are some of the highlights of last night's events, only a taste of the art party that will ensue over the next nine days. . .
