Check out the wonderful interview with John Malpede (L.A. Poverty Dept.) by Larissa Harris in connection with his being named a Fellow of the MIT Center for Advance Visual Studies 2007-8. You can get his current version of how to connect all the dots of his adventurous art career. Malpede is also one of the COLA (City of L.A.) artists for 2008, and will present a solo performance for the COLA Show titled "Cruel, Unusual Outrages upon Personal Dignity, Punishment and Humiliating Degrading Treatment, " which uses as its source material a 2006 speech by President Bush, text from the CIA training manual, and a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that policing on Los Angeles’s Skid Row amounts to cruel and usual punishment.
