The Urban Suburban opening reception/auction preview was this afternoon at Epsten Gallery. There was a nice crowd and nice group of artists in the auction exhibition. The catalogs are coming out next week and the auction is going to be held on October 17.

My piece, Always Becoming Something (4.8), is the small black horizontal image on the right side of the photo.

The map for the various venues of the Intermissions project in Syracuse was just printed and it looks great. The reverse side is a poster of my video Soft Velvet Float.

Suspension, my exhibition of photographs, opened at Syracuse University's Menschel Gallery as part of the Intermissions project. The photographs, all 12"x12" pigment prints mounted in 22" round frames, are images of clouds taken between 2000-06 from commercial flights. Although a few have been sold to corporate clients in Kansas City, this is only the second time they have ever been shown as a group.

I finally got some photos from Visual Devotion, held last month at Review Studios. The event was two evenings worth of music by KC-based funk bank Thee Devotion with cut up grindhouse videos by me. I was in Syracuse when it happened so I'm sorry I missed it. We're discussing doing another similar event sometime this fall so stay tuned.
