Founded in 1984 as “Co-LAB” with a theater at 1805 and gallery at 1807 Divisadero in San Francisco, what we now know as The Lab celebrates 40 years of its history and honors artist
Pamela Z, an integral part of The Lab’s artistic community. Starting in the 1980s, Z launched a series of interdisciplinary “Z Programs” beginning at The Lab, ran a “SoundLAB” workshop series providing artists access to digital audio workstations, and performed many times in various configurations.
We’ll also be displaying some pieces of our extensive poster and documentation archive, and revealing our plans for renovation of the historic San Francisco Labor Temple Main Auditorium in the wake of securing 12 years of lease stability at the Redstone Building, where The Lab has been since 1995.
Proceeds from this event benefit The Lab’s ongoing programming, as well as our expansion and restoration of our historic space in the Redstone Building.

BREATHING is a movement from Carbon Song Cycle (a inter-media chamber work by composer/performer Pamela Z and visual artist Christina McPhee). The work was originally written for voice & electronics, bassoon, viola, cello, percussion, and tape. This is a solo version performed by the composer (with just voice, processing, and tape), recorded at a 3/13/2014 duo concert with Joan La Barbara as part of the 2014 ROOM Series. Pamela Z is using a gesture controller (designed and built by Donald Swearingen). © 2013 Last Letter Music (ASCAP)
