In addition to the regularly scheduled events, the Linda Pollack and the public will co-facilitate the ongoing development of numerous Cultural Documentation projects, including:
Neighborhood Documentary Film Project Interviews
The Jazz History Project -- with Chester Sheard + Manty Ellis, and other artists, tying in the history of Jazz Gallery, photography, silkscreening, audio mixes and more.
HABEAS LOUNGE takes its name from the Writ of Habeas Corpus, a law under the U.S. Constitution which requires a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or jury, safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary state action. The term Habeas Corpus derives from Latin "HABEAS", meaning "to have", and "CORPUS", meaning "body". Literally the phrase means "you have the body". Hence, HABEAS LOUNGE -- "You have the Lounge".
At its core, the HABEAS LOUNGE is a center for the fine art of the public hang-out and a space to share experiences. Prior to Milwaukee's Riverwest, HABEAS LOUNGE has been installed in Santa Monica, Downtown Los Angeles, Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, Newark NJ, Patterson NJ, Gdansk, and Wroclaw Poland. For each iteration, Linda Pollack creates a site-specific environment and program addressing timely cultural and community issues.
The residency is made possible in part with support by the Mary L. Nohl Fund of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (www.greatermilwaukeefoundation.org).
