MIRROR MIRROR

A new piece calledTENSECONDWEBCAM was shown at gallery Atsui, in Vancouver from Sept 10- Oct 2, 2010. Curated by Sasha Yamashita, the show was a collection of self portraits. Not know as a self portraitist, I decided to be a little oblique. Here are some picutres from the show:

A VIEW FROM ABOVE

I performed a new piece called A View From Above, first at I-Park open studios in Connecticut and then at Expert Oddities, a performance night curated by Angela Washko. The performance is a power point lecture that takes a quasi-mathematical approach to the sexual proclivities of basketball legend WIlt Chamberlain.

RESIDENCIES & NEW WORKS

I have just finished artist residencies at I-Park in East Haddam CT, and at CAC in Troy, NY. While there I made a video installation that involved Magic Johnson's eyes floating on a wall, a performance about WIlt Chamberlain, and started writing and editing a new performance about a basketball star who gets flesh-eating disease. I also did some drawings and prints, which can be seen by clicking the link.

KITTEH ATTACK OF NEW YORK

My video, On Cute (2009), was included in Second Harvest, an outdoor screening currated by Michel Auder, Micheal Stickrod and Ana Wolovick in Brooklyn, New York. The works were projected on the side of a building and were visible from the Williamsburg Bridge. I watched with glee as a billboard sized screen of my cat tearing up a chipmunk played for late night traffic on the bridge.

My video,What Doesn't Kill Me (2009) screened at Square Pegs Two, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The show also included work by Celeste Fischer, Nobuo Kubota and Holly Rodricks.

The work was projected outdoors, adjacent to Kingston's city hall. I went to the screening and met some ex-pat Americans who were sitting in the back row. It drew a good crowd, 50-70 people, and it was good weather on a late summer night. Kubota's peice blew my mind.

On Cute (2009) was included in a travelling show this summer called Jerkin Paradise, curated by Katie Micak. It screened in Saskatoon, SK, Guelph, ON, North Bay ON, Peterborough, ON, London ON, and Toronto, ON.
