Treachery






And here's the show I was in: Arm's Length In: Ceramics and the Treachery of Objects in the Digital Age.

I collaborated with Amanda Marchand, a photographer in Brooklyn; we had a great time. It's all about reproduction: material, digital, biological. You can ask me if you want.

LA sightings



When I was in LA for the Scripps show, Tom Muller, Christian Tedeschi, Nikki and I spent an afternoon gallery-hopping . . . the best thing we saw was Diane Landry's show at Solway Jones. The installation was poetic and odd and made you feel all of the tragedy of the world using umbrellas and harmonicas-- I'm not kidding. Check out a video of the piece on her website:

Also, we had a really delish lunch at Mozza, sitting next to Jennifer Beals (Flashdance and The L Word).

You Know What You Should Do?

The next time someone says "you know what you should do..," try listening carefully to their suggestion. Ask questions and take notes about this suggestion. Get as many details as you can. Be careful not to insert your own logic or understanding into the suggestion. Repeat the suggestion back to the suggestor to verify complete comprehension. If necessary (and it probably will be), have the suggestor draw a diagram and/or concept map to further clarify the suggestion. If the suggestor seems uncomfortable with their new role, gently encourage them to give you more details, ideas, and clarifications. When there is no more information to be given by the suggestor, begin to implement the suggestion - being careful not to allow your own interpretations to interfere with the suggestor's plans. If questions arise during the process, feel free to contact the suggestor for additional advice. Do exactly as they suggest. When you have completed the suggested plan, present to the suggestor a formal project report on the results.
