Southern Exposure (San Francisco) and Machine Project (Los Angeles) invite you to visit your neighbors' apartments, houses, backyards, and garages for 20 consecutive days/evenings of performances, psychic readings, workshops, ghost detecting, participatory foley effects, tableaux vivants, pet portraits, experimental music by dogs, low frequency sound performances (in closets), and general awesomeness throughout the month of June 2012.

Each event features a collaboration, double bill, or blind date between artists and performers from Los Angeles and San Francisco, and is commemorated by a series of posters by San Francisco and Los Angeles designers. Events take place off-site in residences throughout San Francisco and Oakland. Southern Exposure's 20th Street space serves as the production headquarters and meeting space for project participants and screens daily video documentation of each event as it accumulates throughout the project.

Posters
Each of the SMEP events is commemorated by a hand-pulled screenprint poster, designed by one of 20 LA and San Francisco designers and printed for us by Paul Morgan. The posters can all be viewed here. They are also available for sale here at SoEx or off-site at the events themselves for $20. The poster commemorates your experience, and sales help support these fabulously free endeavors.
