CALIFORNIA ARTIST REBUILDS WORLD ECONOMY WITH ANTIMATTER - OPENING RECEPTION TONIGHT

Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats opens "The First Bank of Antimatter" tonight, November 12, with a FREE reception at Modernism Gallery, 685 Market St., from 5:30 pm - 8 pm.

What is "The First Bank of Antimatter"? Well, it's a hedge against future catastrophe in which the artist has created a mirror economy designed to skyrocket as world markets plummet. It's the first holistic response to the great recession, a far-reaching financial innovation. Far out.

"Economic equilibrium is upset by our unbalanced pursuit of material wealth," explains Keats. "My plan is to offset materialism with modern science, by exploiting the economic potential of antimatter, which is the physical opposite of anything made with atoms, from luxury condos to private jets."

Backed by private Swiss funding, The First Bank of Antimatter will serve as a hub for antimatter transactions worldwide, eventually financing the building of antimatter infrastructure and providing the public with a full range of investment opportunities. "But our first order of business will be printing money," says Keats. "Cash is the foundation of any economy, and an anti-economy is no exception."

Issued in three convenient denominations, ranging from 10,000 positrons to 1,000,000 positrons, and initially trading at an exchange rate of $10 to $1,000, the anti-money will be backed by antimatter stored in the bank's vault. Because matter and antimatter annihilate each other on contact, antimatter positrons will be continuously produced on location by decay of the radioactive isotope potassium-40.

Feeling a little cash poor these days? Like we said above, the reception tonight is FREE.

HAVE YOU ORDERED YOUR HOLIDAY TURDUCKEN YET?

The turkducken is a uniquely American experience. Hailing from Louisiana and the Deep South, this bad boy chicken-in-a-duck-in-a-turkey roast has made its way north and to the Left Coast. And, 4505 Meats here in San Franny will put one together for you, because lawdy-Miss-Clawdy, don't try to stuff a chicken into a duck into a turkey on your own!

But you can order one -- and then roast it for 18 of your closest friends and relations. 4505 Meats will tell you how. It's a little pricey, at $250 for a 20-pounder. But in addition to the free-range turkey and other free-range birds inside, it's stuffed with cornbread and sausage stuffing. Works out to a little less than $14 per serving. Get the rest of your guestlist to bring the booze and mashed potatoes and you've got a chance to break even.

Turducken orders need to be made by November 18. Email meats@4505meats.com to place your order now.

Bring your lunch and hear Mitchell read, then discuss why it was important to give readers a second translation of The Tin Drum, and talk about the unique collaboration with Gunter Grass that made such a daunting work possible.
