Shift of Focus

Kate — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 20:07:24 +0000

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.

Teaching is going well at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Missouri – Kansas City.

We’ve also been writing a column as Lilika Ruby entitled Art & Sex for the online magazines, The Faster Times, and Ovi Magazine.

Stay tuned for details about an upcoming show…

Saying farewell

Kate — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:58:35 +0000

Bittersweet, it is. Leaving Chicago.

Lots of good friends, and good times, and good laughs.

But then there were the winters, the hangovers, and the joblessness.

So that’s that.

As a farewell, we decided to stack all our stuff up in the windows of Fishbowl.

Enjoy.

Personal stuff

Kate — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:48:46 +0000

So we’re not in the habit of using this blog as a place to update on personal information, but we did want to announce that we will be leaving Chicago at the end of the summer. There are lots of events planned for Fishbowl starting with a video installation opening on April 2 at 7pm. If you’re in the neighborhood stop by and say hello! Also check out the gallery’s page for updated information on upcoming events.

We’re currently developing 2 classes looking at art & science – one a materials and process-based chemistry class, the other a historical survey and examination of the scientific method. Pretty great stuff. Ruby will also be teaching the History & Analysis of Graphic Design starting in April.

We just got word that we’ll be presenting a performative talk at PSi #16 Performing Publics in Toronto, 9-13 June 2010.

The talk will focus on our life in the Fishbowl – if you’re up north, hope to see you there!
