Polaroid

I really miss polaroid. I was looking at some old images today and it made me nostalgic. I love what the Impossible Project is trying to do, but its just not the same.

ID Preview Night

Last night a group of collectors came by to preview the exhibition. Four pieces have already sold!

Come to the opening reception tomorrow from 6-9 at Darke Gallery!

Art Car: Day 1

Yesterday, David, Rachel, Sasha and I started working on our art car. Our first task was to get it into our workspace. We did this with no problem, but in doing so, we found out that the car doesn't reverse. Awesome.

We made a work bulletin board with a calendar and sketches. Please don't steal our amazing ideas. :)

We set up our tarp and started taping off where things will go on the car.

The last thing we did (and the thing I was most excited about) was testing different glues.

It did not go well.

ID

I am very excited to be curating the University of Houston photo/digital media senior show this year. The show is called ID and features 14 artists working with the theme of identity. It will run Apr 8- May 6 at Darke Gallery (320B Detering, Houston, 77007). The opening reception is Friday, Apr 8 from 6-9pm. Here's a sneak peek!

They also got a billboard to advertise their show. It was written up on The Great God Pan is Dead.

Art Car

This year, Houston's art car parade will change weekends to correspond to the opening of the AAM conference that will take place in Houston. Thousands of curators and museum people will converge on Houston for the week. Because of this the AAM host committee has commissioned an art car to celebrate the diversity of Houston museums and my group got chosen. So, Sasha Dela, Rachel Hewlett, David McClain and I will be building a fabulous art car. Save the date for May 22 to see our creation.

Mission wrap-up

Two weekends ago I went down to Mission, TX for the Citrus Fiesta Parade to help David with his float. Here is our amazing finished product.

There were three floats that entered out category: Valley Products. The rules were basically that we had to cover out whole float with produce from the valley, especially citrus products. Here is the winner. It's the Catholic church...in Mission, TX. Shocking.

It was still super fun though. :)

Regarding Line

The drawing show I curated opens this Friday. I hung it last weekend and it looks amazing! It’s called Regarding Line and features the work of John Adelman, Brent Fogt and Kia Neil.
