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. It played a major role in our debut EP, Ironing is the New Boring. When it died in 2009, we decided to paint it as a tribute.
And this one will take a long time.
A diptych, this painting touches on a lot of aspects of our work, including both the history of performance and its live element, The Cover Artists, factory work + labor, and the relationship between digital and analog.
I hope to post various iterations as the paintings progress, but for now, here is the digital sketch of the LHS canvas. Both canvases measure 30 X 40 inches and are each comprised of 10,800 1/3 inch squares that will be individually painted.
It was one of husband and wife team Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s earliest and most ambitious designs: to suspend miles of silvery fabric above one of North America’s largest, wildest rivers for a temporary period of time.
Yesterday, 26 years after the idea was conceived, Denver’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) gave final approval to the artists’ original vision…

Halsey Street, New Street, Central Avenue and Broad Streets in Newark, NJ
Curators Jeanne Brasile and Jade Lien are pleased to announce their most recent curatorial collaboration on view during the 10th Annual Open Doors and Studio Tour sponsored by the Newark Arts Council. “Letting Go” will activate the block encompassed by New, Halsey and Broad Streets and Central Avenue with public displays and performances by over 50 participating artists. The exhibition is a discourse on the notion of catharsis, or emotional cleansing. Catharsis, or purging of emotions, produces profound feelings such as fear, sorrow, pity or even joy. In a broader sense, it can also refer to a sense of restoration, renewal, and revitalization; concepts that are poignant and greatly needed in this complicated emotional landscape we presently occupy.
Participating artists include; Kristin Anderson, Scot Andreason, Jacqueline Arias, Soraida Bedoya, Cynthia Berkshire, Ben Bernstein, Gianluca Bianchino, Mikel Bisbee-Durlam with Jody Wood, Christine -Jean Blaine, Boys and Girls Club of Newark, Collette Broeders, BroLab Collective, Sandra Burke, Giovanna Cecchetti, Russell Chartier, Bryan Christie & Jeremy Mage, Magenta del Ray, EGG, Mike Estabrook, Rico Fredrick, Jerry Gant, Kristin Grey, Bruce Humphries, Jones and Roa, Darren Jones, Jenna Kline, Samantha Marie La Alta, Greg Leshé, Timothy McMurray & Jacqueline Weaver, Aaron Oldenburg, Ben Pederson, Barbara Polster, Gerald Pryor, Sally Richardson, Tara Raye Russo, Kate & Beau Sage-Lindholm, Jesse Eric Schmidt, Kat Schneck, Narubi Selah, David Sinaguglia, DC Smith, Lauren Smith, Nyugen Smith, Mark Starling, Starski, Sara Suleman, TangenT and Heidi Zito.

Live Feed is a meditation on the increasingly complex ways the Internet automates our identities + interactions.
Alison Knowles Newspaper Music (1965) – a performance during which a variable number of people simultaneously read aloud from different newspapers – was the original inspiration for the basic form of Live Feed. For years, I’ve been fascinated with the way I acquire news, and more generally with the way we as a culture create, receive and share information about ourselves and current events.
Come see me perform the first iteration entitled, Me/assage Me, LIVE at H+R Block Artspace on Friday, October 14 from 6-8pm.

We’ve been in Kansas City for nearly two months now. The Organic Art Factory itself is taking off in new directions. Most recently, we completed two commissioned paintings for the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, and have begun work on a series of paintings entitled, The Air with Variations.
