Featuring Scrap and Salvage


Performances: July 23 - August 2nd
Wednesday through Saturday nights, 8:00pm

Lost in the Labor Temple is a new site-specific performance / installation created collaboratively by Scrap and Salvage and artists from a variety of mediums including sculpture, film-making, architecture, theater design, and music composition. The work is highly physical, visual, musical and almost entirely non-verbal. The Labor Temple, or Redstone Building, is an historic landmark building on 16th street between Mission and South Van Ness. It was built in 1914 and played an integral role in the San Francisco Labor movement of the early 20th century. Artists from all mediums are invited to investigate and respond to the space’s history, myths, legends, and ghosts. The room’s past, present, and potential future are distilled into a performance and installation that digs deeply into the conflict between humankind the world it has made for itself.
