415.869.7817 | | The Art  For EpiscoDisco's one-year anniversary celebration we will we break out the 40-foot screen for the debut of "Holy Water", a short film from the talented Brooklyn-based documentary filmmaker and journalist, Dianna Dilworth. As a follow-up to her award-winning documentary chronicling the idolatry of Michael Jackson fans during his 2004-5 court trials, "Holy Water" juxtaposes images of altars memorializing his death with personal footage from her own wedding ceremony as well as the natural sanctity of a waterfall in the Swiss Alps. These provocative pairings invite the viewer in as a voyeur to sacred spectacles and intimate ceremony, revealing the rippling degrees to which images and objects become agents of reverence and worship.
| | The Music  Folk singer/songwriter Emily Jane White was raised in Fort Bragg, California, a seaside town nestled in the misty, secluded woodland of the Mendocino Coast where old men tell stories about logging and young girls dream of San Francisco. Now Bay Area-based after stints in Santa Cruz and Bordeaux, White is known the world over for her smokey, rich vocal timbre that makes the perfect accomplice to her cyclical guitar lines, swooning strings and pitch-dark, Poe-like lyrics that are spun with the tenderness of a lullaby. While comparisons to contemporaries Cat Power and Hope Sandoval are frequent, White's owes musical debt to the sultry rustlings of the classic blues legends like Billie Holiday. Hear her agonize the archways at 9pm. | | Paradise Now
Theology, music and art all share the aspiration to transcend the borders that language cannot. Paradise Now is a nondenominational curatorial duo that is exploring this commonality by showcasing artists who engage the awe-inspiring space within Grace Cathedral through multi-media installations and performing arts. Paradise Now is Eve Ekman and Jean Cooney. | EpiscoDisco
Recently voted one of 7×7 Magazine's 250 Things To Do In San Francisco Before You Die and anointed "unusual fun" by the SF Chronicle, EpiscoDisco is a monthly event where community congregates to enjoy contemporary art installations, live performance, drinks and DJ'ed music at Grace Cathedral. EpiscoDisco is hosted on one Saturday of each month by Reverend Bertie Pearson and curatorial duo Paradise Now. | | | Thank You Thank you to all who wrote in describing your experiences with EpiscoDisco in order to keep the event going after February's
"grafitti incident". While all of your responses were candid and personal, a similar message of compassion and support emerged - ultimately convincing the Diocese that the event was too extaordinary to let go over one dirty apple. And our gratitude goes out to all attendees of past and future 'Discos, whose very presence continue to make this event strange and wonderful.
