Update: Sifting through Photographs ...

Nancy and I have a big talk at the Midwest SPE in Kalamazoo on the 1st October followed by an even bigger talk/exhibition/workshop at Clemson University on the 7-8th October. There will be a fluxus score performed in between the two events. We recently discovered that we will be taking our talk on the road at the national SPE in Atlanta in March. This semester I am working with Elise Rorick who is helping me with all aspects of Phase 2 of the earthworks projects, applying for grants and researching the UK. I bought a map and we will break out the tacks this week.

In the meantime, I am going through images of the Texas Gallery installation from March and found this photograph of our DVD projection. On the screen is "Chasing Michael Jackson at Double Negative" with Nancy walking by with a streak of funky pink sparkle in the foreground.



Soon Nancy will be here (not the ghost seen above) and we are due for a number of illicit activities as it has been far too long since March and our first summer of not creating a project together.

Reception Photos Slowly Coming In...

what? i didn't have a camera the entire reception? no minute by minute updates?! i'll slowly add more as they come in but here is the first of Nancy and her family (her sister Amy, her mom, and her sister Carrie).



Of course there was plenty of time to take photographs of "objects sitting around" beforehand but no people.





Here are some of Chris Rauschenberg's photographs of the dinner at Hector's after the opening.



Amanda Shagrin, JR, and Ed Cooper. Yup, that would be a dress I am wearing.

"It's Just Like Christmas" - ND

The DVD has arrived (and just in time). Apologies Nancy for the "doubtful" remark earlier.



From one bad camera/photograph to another (switched from the phone to the laptop).





Nancy's family sent her these orange roses this morning.



We are off to pick up 50 pink balloons for the entry - the first show in this side of the gallery and the first time this door will be open for public entry since it was the wedding store.

DVD Cover (Rough Draft)

Thanks to Molly Cumming for the design and Fredericka and Ian for the publication.

Two weeks from today...

...I will be in Houston with Nancy installing the exhibition at Texas Gallery! We have been swamped editing the video entitled "A Chronological Film: Twelve Shorts and Twenty-five Short Shorts" (details coming soon!), contemplating pedestals for the small objects, shipping photographs, designing DVD cases, editing the exhibition postcard image, and some general PR. Things are coming together slowly but surely. We will even have a website devoted entirely to this project to be unveiled in early March. A lot more posts coming soon! We have another radio show, shopping for the perfect dress for the opening (oh boy this will be humorous), a few more studio/gallery visits (eeeeee!), more (one way) artist correspondence with Ed Ruscha and James Turrell, installation shots, and so on.
