one half of new pairing for upcoming show in brooklyn at Fountain Studios shipped today. now i just need to make a drawing to go with it. this piece uses canvas hinges, a bit bulkier than paper, but i really enjoyed it’s rough and ready look compared to the clean lines i usually trend towards.
New drawing / sculpture, as yet untitled. Pastel on paper, laser cut plywood, paint. Approx 16 x 30 inches. 2010
Holly and I have new pieces in a show opening at a new space called — The (Con)Temporary Art Space – in the Loop tomorrow (thursday the 18th) night. “An Evening with your Contemporaries” features art works from artists including Ed Marszewski, Rachel Marszewski, Emily Clayton, Theordore Darst, Henry James Glover, Serena Himmlefarb, Sara Louden, Chris Roberson, Andrew Rigsby, Douglas Burns and Holly Holmes. Opening is from 4.30 – 8.30pm. (C)TAS is located at 208 South Wabash, Chicago, IL. For a sneak peak of the show / space check out my flickr set.
(C)TAS is brought to you by the folks who produce Proximity, Lumpen, Version Vest and the Co-Prosperity Sphere, The (Con)Temporary Art Space is a an avenue for discussion, research and action. The former retail space will be used as a working studio by cultural workers, producers, artists and designers for projects they are working on collectively and individually. The Public will be able to absorb these presentations as well as share their ideas about contemporary art. The (Con)Temporary Art Space will function as a information center and a place to learn about Chicago’s diverse art ecology.
Holly has some work in UnCommon Territories, opening Friday night (the 19th) at Heaven Gallery too! So we’re pretty crazed this week, but if you’re out and about stop by and say hi.

Display Unit prototype, laser cut in chipboard. Need to adjust for material thickness but otherwise very happy with the result thus far. Thank you to the folks at the SAIC Advanced Output Center for all their help. I forsee siginficant usage of laser cut in my future if all goes to plan.
