Stories for Telling Me

 

Opening tonight at Cara + Cabezas Contemporary : Now Knowing – an exhibition featuring artworks that “address early sexuality and the discovery of sexual orientation.” I am participating in this exhibition with a new work entitled, “Stories for Telling Me,” a progressive performance/video piece collecting stories of knowing, meaning, and love. For tonight’s opening, I will be facilitating Phase I: Past + Now. 

 

You can participate long distance by leaving me a voicemail or text @ 573 286 0459, via email at stories@organicartfactory.com, or by visiting the Stories for Telling Me Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/StoriesForTellingMe).
Please let me know if you wish to remain anonymous, as these stories, images, videos, and anything else you may wish to add will become part of the exhibition in one way or another as it progresses.

Stories for Telling Me is dedicated to the memory of Mark Aguhar.

Data Loss

Our latest video entitled, Data Loss, will be premiering this Friday, March 16 at Links Hall in Chicago as part of Arte No Es Facil. Data Loss is comprised of the binary translation of all communication between the artists and their partners in Cuba as they attempted to configure and realize a work in partnership. Simultaneously confronting the limitations and possibilities of digital communication, language, and physical distance, Data Loss is the story of the creative potential so often lost in translation.

ARTE NO ES FÁCIL is a project “based in creating relationships beyond pictures between Cuba and the US through the manifestation of art. The project seeks to create a two-way passage for dialogue, collaboration, and information between our two countries by establishing connections between artists separated by location and context, yet sharing an interest in form, content or strategy.”

1686 of 10800 – Painting update

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…

Click here to see the digital sketch of the painting.

New painting begins…

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.

New Performance

Photo 40Live 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.

“I try hard never to forget that art is essentially a game of signification, and that in our capacity as artists, we always endeavor to ask questions, to search, and to play.”
