Our yoga practice has been part of our life/art for a number of years. In October, we met our teacher Hari Midigudla at New Day Yoga Studio, where Kate teaches.

Today we sold the pixelated guitar that we created as part of our MFA thesis exhibition. The guitar has quite a storied history in its own right, and was given to us by my aunt in 2008.

There are so many reasons. Here is one, quoted from the blog Metro Times:
“Fluxus artists were irresistible art flirts and menaces. They refused tickets to snobs, patronized critics and dared the public to find a point to art.
