About Heaven + Earth + Joe Davis
Thirty years ago, a peg-legged motorcycle mechanic walked into the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT. They had not returned his calls. The police were summoned. Forty-five minutes later he walked out with an academic appointment. Since then Joe Davis has sent vaginal contractions into space to communicate with aliens, encoded poetry into DNA, and designed a sculpture to save the world. It’s a great life for a man driven by imagination – except when it’s not. No one pays him. He is evicted from apartments and labs. His uncompromising approach to art and life collides with the world’s banal requirements. This is a story of self- discovery, sacrifice and the complexity of human endeavor, of the price of art and the ecstatic joy of discovery.

About Peter Sasowsky (Producer/Director)
Peter has been producing and directing film and video projects in New York City and around the world for over a decade. He is the founder and director of Serious Motion Pictures, a script to screen production company that produces documentary and narrative films, corporate communications and educational media.

Universal artist, grand seigneur of bio-art and ‘Lebenskünstler’ par excellence Joe Davis will hold a public lecture on Friday, 30th September at 19h at the Iwasaki Lab of the Waseda University in Tokyo. Here are more details in Japanese:

The lecture will be in English with translation into Japanese. That means that it will probably longer than expected. This is a free, public event, but maybe it’s a good idea to come early to get a seat. Here’s more information from the Iwasaki Lab site in Japanese.

Or, as Google Translate has it: Bio-art special lectures father, descended to Tamami!

Date: September 29 (Thu), 16:30 to 18:00
Location: Tama Art University, Hachioji, Department of Information Design Building 25-205
