I checked out Daacha Gallery in
Gainesville, FL for the first time yesterday which happens to be the venue
for my first solo show on Friday, Jan. 15th. The building which is solid,
but showing its wear, will provide a perfect study in contrasts in opposition to the
"new media" art that I'll be displaying. It will compliment the content of my work
beautifully as well.
One of my latest pieces "Aesthetic Species Maps" (yet to premier on the web) was
developed specifically for the 'Sacred Geometries' edition of Deep Leap Microcinema
which first screened at the Waypost in Portland, OR on Dec. 15th. This program will be shown again
on Jan. 17th at 992 Valencia Street In collaboration with the San Francisco based Artists' Television Access
(simultaneously a venue and interesting organization).
One of my last stops planned for this month is the Man Bites Dog Theater in Durham, NC,
which will host the Strange Beauty Film Festival on Jan. 22nd and 23rd. In response to another
inspirational theme that I like to think perfectly suits my work, I submitted
"Pollenating" as I think it still ranks as the strangest beauty in my body of work so far.
The festival organizers paid me the compliment of including "Pollenating" in the section
entitled "Love me, love me, say that you love me" which wraps up the festival on Saturday
night.
