While waiting on volunteers in Salina on my last trip (see earlier entry), I took about 15 minutes of footage of the hundreds of pigeons seen from the loft windows. As I've been going through all of the project footage (over 120 GB), I decided to do some quick tests of the pigeons as a way of taking a break. I might come back to this later.

The opening reception at the Nerman Museum last Friday night was great. Both shows opening that night (mine and the CSF 2008 awards) were very well attended.The reactions to Op Eyes were very enthusiastic. It's a shame that the piece couldn't be shown on the Reigner Center projection system as well as in the Oppenheimer New Media Gallery (where it opened), but hopefully everything will be up and running again soon.
The video was shot by Daniel Smith, one of my motion design students.

We had a great crowd for mine and Anne Austin Pearce's artist talks at the Nerman Museum yesterday afternoon. It was standing room only with over 230 students and guests. We each spoke for 20 minutes (well, I went a bit long...) and had a very robust Q&A afterwards.
Let's hope the opening reception tonight goes as well.

There was a small article in the Kansas City Star this Sunday about my upcoming lecture at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. The lecture is Thursday, November 20, at 3:30pm in the museum's auditorium. I'll be speaking along with fellow artist and good friend, Anne Austin Pearce.
I just finished another weekend of videotaping residents of Salina, KS, for my project for the Salina Art Center. I think we've now got enough footage to begin working on the final piece.
The opening has been moved back to mid-March 2009 which is a great relief.

My Dallas gallery rep, Marty Walker, was in KC last weekend to check out the local art scene. We took her to around to see most of the local galleries and museums, including the opening of the new Kemper Crossroads space (pictured here).
She was impressed by the KC scene and will hopefully be back soon. She was also excited about some of my new work and it looks like I might be having a show there again very soon. More later...

I spent all morning in my backyard photographing some house plants for a new video animation. Sometimes a clear blue sky is the best chroma key.
