Saturday night at 8pm, Machine Project will demo artist Alison Weise's corn whiskey making still.
Secret Still #2 – Alison Wiese
Opening 8pm, artist talk 9pm Saturday February 11thMachine Project
1200 D North Alvarado Street, Los Angeles, CA 90026
213 483 8761A functioning fractionating still (located in our secret gallery) made from household plumbing supplies distills corn whiskey. Celebrating improvisational authority (the space of the sub-suburban yard fort, and the do-it-yourself zine) Alison Weise shares strategies of re-use and field-expedient substitution with tinkerers and amateur hobbyists.
Starting at 8pm we are going to stand around, stare at the still, and sample the whisky. At 9pm Ms Wiese will talk about her project, covering a tiny-weeny bit of historical context, a cursory description of the process, and an attempt to try to address the top 3 questions folks seem to ask about distilling: Can you go blind from drinking this stuff? Will the still blow up? Is this legal?
Positive ID required at the door.
