High Energy Constructs participates in a day of international peace with The Peace Project, a project launched by The Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, which is inviting artists worldwide to join them in creating experimental “spaces” for peace on April 22. The High Energy Constructs event will consider war and peace by creating an alien architecture from material shards of false surveillance, Viet Nam, military camp, public language, surrender, noir and the bomb.
about the artists: Marcus Civin uses text-based drawings, performance and video as investigation into the interrelation between history, politics and language. He has exhibited at the Lab and Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco and High Energy Constructs in Los Angeles. His work has been published in Zyzzyva and The Capilano Review. Marcus is a founder of New Urban Arts in Providence, Rhode Island. He is currently an MFA candidate at UC Irvine.
Jen Hofer’s recent books are lip wolf, a translation of Laura Solórzano’s lobo de labio (Action Books, 2007), Sin puertas visibles: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry by Mexican Women (University of Pittsburgh Press and Ediciones Sin Nombre, 2003), and slide rule (subpress, 2002). Her forthcoming books include a translation of two books by Dolores Dorantes, Septiembre and sexoPUROsexoVELOZ (co-publication of Counterpath and Kenning Editions, 2007), The Route, an epistolary and poetic collaboration with Patrick Durgin (Atelos, 2007), Laws (Dusie Books, 2007), and a book-length series of anti-war-manifesto poems titled one (Palm Press, 2008). Jen is a member of the Little Fakers collective which creates and produces Sunset Chronicles, a neighborhood-based serial episodic drama populated entirely by hand-made marionettes inhabiting lost, abandoned and ghost spaces in Los Angeles (www.sunsetchronicles.com), and is happily a founding member of the City of Angels Ladies’ Bicycle Association, also known as The Whirly Girls.

His work has been published in Asia Pacific American Journal, Amerasia Journal, So Luminous the Wildflowers: An Anthology of California Poets (Vols. I & II: Tebot Bach 2003, 2005), Corpus, among others. Le obtained his M.F.A. from the University of California, Irvine, where he has also taught; and is currently pursuing his doctoral studies at the University of Southern California.

He is also editing an anthology of artists' and writers' responses to environmental crises. He teaches community art at San Francisco State University and makes site-specific performance.

After studying at the University of California, Irvine, and at California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, Nguy began to produce work at the intersection of conceptual art and performance often exploring issues of danger and confrontation in contemporary visual culture. his practice ranges from film and video to painting, and from dynamic installation to interventions in the public sphere.
