My newest piece, an audio wall scuplture titled Somnambulance (1), debuted this past Friday at the Review Studios annual residents' exhibition in the studio gallery. It changed quite a bit from the first version that was being installed (posted here earlier in the week). The piece consists of 6 speakers mounted on the walls in a corner of the gallery with the speaker wires creating a sort of drawing as they are pulled over the top edge of the walls. A subwoofer is hidden behind the walls. The audio is a Dolby 5.1 track which allows the sounds to move throughout the speaker configuration. The audio is composed of 30 layers of sound appropriated from obscure mid-century soundtracks and spoken word.

We decided to change the image for the print edition that will be accompanying the upcoming Picnic on Art Island event. The edition will now feature an image from my 2009 video animation Lawn Ornaments. We decided to make the change because the original image had been exhibited as a print once before at Marty Walker Gallery in Dallas and we thought having a previously unseen print would be better.

Beyond Bounds: GLOW, this year's benefit exhibition and auction for the Nerman Museum of Contemporary of Art, was held at the museum last Saturday night. I wasn't able to attend but heard it was a great exhibition and event. I donated a print based on a video still from my recent Ectoplasmic Response video installation. I haven't heard yet whether or not it sold in the auction.

Cara Megan Lewis, of Cara and Cabezas Contemporary, came by the studio yesterday to taken some promo photos for next month's Picnic on Art Island. I'll be the next featured artist for this monthly series of dinner discussions held at artists studios around KC. In addition to a meal held for about 20 patrons, a special print edition is made for each event.  We're still working out the details of the image to be chosen, but it will most likely be a unique image based upon one of my recent video animations. The dinner details will be announced soon as well.

I recently completed a new video in collaboration with KC-based composer Christopher Biggs. The 7 min+ video was created as a component of a performance with recorded music and live saxophone. The piece debuted last week at the Channel Noise Concert at Georgia Southern University with Alex Sellers performing on saxophone. It will be performed by Alex once more at GSU on October 18, then by Elizabeth Blunt at the Electronic Music Midwest Festival in Kansas City, KS on November 5.



The video with the recorded music, but minus the saxophone, can be viewed on Vimeo.
