My new solo exhibition at Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles opened to a wonderful response last night. The crowds were very good despite Carmeggedon.

The exhibition features six single-channel video installations, ranging from 2009′s Lawn Ornaments to the brand new Jotunheimr and Junk Yard. The work is on view at the gallery in Culver City until August 19.

Totem (1) in collectors’ home

I just received some photos from the collectors who purchased the first edition of my recent Totem (1) video piece showing the work installed in their home. This is the first multi-channel video work of mine purchased for and installed in a domestic environment. The collector who purchased the second edition also plans on installing it in his home and I have a meeting with him next week to discuss installation options.

The third and final copy of the piece will be installed tomorrow at the Bruno David Gallery in St. Louis for an exhibition that opens next week.

Two of my single-channel videos, Soft Velvet Float and Vertical Blinds (2), will be featured in a group exhibition at Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition, titled Short Film Series 1, is curated by Anne Alvergue and includes work by eight video artists from around the country. It opens July 10 and runs through August 20.

review for Ectoplasmic Response

A very nice review of the show at Swarm Gallery was just posted on the Review website, a KC-based arts blog. The writer, Jess Brier, had some interesting things to say about Ectoplasmic Response. It’s always great when a writer or critic “gets” a piece and is able to verbalize thoughts behind it much better than me.

The exhibition remains on view at the gallery in Oakland until March 14.

The opening reception for my exhibition at Swarm Gallery in Oakland happened last Saturday evening with a very nice sized crowd attending. My audio and video installation Ectoplasmic Response was shown along with drawings by Bay Area artist Casey Jex Smith and an installation of ghostly architectural elements made of vellum by Brooklyn-based artist Sonya Blesofsky. There was also a short performance by 4AD artist tUnE-YarDs.

For anyone visiting the Bay Area, you should check out the up-and-coming art scene in Oakland. There are some very interesting things happening there, with Swarm Gallery being in the center of it.

Installation is almost complete on Ectoplasmic Response at the Swarm Gallery in Oakland. I’ve been working since yesterday afternoon mounting and wiring the projector and all of the speakers. All that remains is to run all of the final power cables and close off the ceiling of the project room.

The public reception is Saturday evening from 6-8pm. Also showing in the gallery are Sonya Blesofsky, an installation artist from Brooklyn, and Casey Jex Smith, a painter from the Bay Area.
