It’s the last day to catch EARTHTWERKS, Ortega y Gasset collective artists’ exhibition at SideCar Gallery in Hammond, IN. I especially love this photo of my vinyl poster in the gallery’s unique setting in a suburban house.

News: I joined Ortega y Gasset, and begin a Midwest season

I am now part of Ortega y Gasset Projects, a cross-country artist’s collective. You may have heard of it as one of the many artist-run project spaces in the 17-17 Troutman building in Ridgewood, Queens, NY. Now, we’re working on itinerant programming, including a show of our own work that opens next weekend in the Chicago metro area.

2013 Year-end Roundup

 

phtos from residency at the Tides Institute and Museum of Art, Montalvo Art Center, Happiness Is... Chinese Arts Centre, more

2013 year-in-review. Highlights include the residency at the Tides Institute and Museum of Art in Eastport, Maine; Happiness Is…, at Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California; Irrational Exuberance Flags at Southern Exposure; Irrational Exuberance (Asst. Colors) at Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art in Manchester, UK; Obsolete Californias in San Francisco; Jenkins Johnson Gallery in NYC; publications such as Temporary Art Review and The Dark Would.

Looking back at 2013, I’m grateful for the generosity and passion of many people…

• the dedicated staff at arts organizations providing residencies and exhibition opportunities to artists like myself…

• whipsmart collaborators Leah Rosenberg and Susan O’Malley… and

• inspiring, fearless women artists like Torreya Cummings, Sarrita Hunn and Lauren Adams who shape the art worlds they would like to participate in.

In 2014, I’m looking forward to…

Bronx AIM informal studio visits. Visiting photographer Martyna Szczesna's studio.

• continuing to read and participate in book clubs about class, community, and engagement.
