Personal stuff

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.
