The Year of the Rope, 1
Not exactly sure what the name of the diptych is going to be yet, but this is the name of the original performance on which it’s based. The process requires that we number and individually paint each of 10800 squares drawn on a 30 x 40 canvas. It’s somewhat tedious work, but enjoyable at the same time. I’ve always enjoyed numbers…

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.
A new series of paintings. These two include Rory McIlroy + Michelle Wie.

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.

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.

In the June issue of WIRED, Clive Thompson asserts that,
“Automatic-translation software has long been treated as a joke because of how hilariously it mangles phrases. But in the past few years, something has shifted: The technology is now surprisingly mature.”

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.
An article by Ivan Moreno in the Associated Press (Denver):
“Colorado artists want to give a futuristic makeover to the rustic sheep wagons used by immigrant workers across the West.
Immigrants from Peru, Chile, Mexico and Nepal who come to the U.S. sometimes live in worn-out one-room trailers in desolate landscapes, including in Wyoming, California, and Utah. The working conditions caught the attention of Colorado lawmakers this year, but no legislation materialized…”
