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.

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.

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.
