The Project Lodge - Good Art For Good People


One of the best independent gallery's in Madison, WI is The Project Lodge. As the title suggests, this is a good gallery operated by good people. My friend Melanie Kehoss and I had a show there last year, and the space was wonderful. Check it out when you have the chance.

Vandiver Gallery Artist Lecture Monday


Next Monday at 5:00 there will be an artist lecture by myself, Jo Carol Mitchell-Rogers, Nathan Cox, and many others. The lecture will be held in the Vandiver Gallery, (in the library) at Anderson University. Come one come all!

UPDATED: Satisfaction Town Exhibition/SGC Chicago


The Satisfaction Town multi-media exhibition is taking place this weekend in Chicago, in conjunction with SGC (Southern Graphics Conference). I have a video piece (Intervention) in the show, as do many of my past friends and colleagues. Here's the breakdown:

Satisfaction Town Location: Columbia College, Conaway Center, 1104 South Wabash Ave, ground floor Date: Friday, March 27 Time: 5 - 8 pm


Satisfaction Town
consists of the new breed of printmakers, artists, musicians, performers, poets, activists, and makers. We plan to create an interactive collaborative print environment with a parade of dimensional and flat prints. Traditionally in museum and gallery settings, art is put on a pedestal or framed under glass, removing it from the audience. Our approach for Satisfaction Town will be interactive. We will bring the art directly to the viewer, to distance the work from this hierarchical standard. We will create an active live print space with collaborative teams handing off prints to each other and to audience members.

Featuring: Midwest Pressed (Tim Dooley/Aaron Wilson), Howling Print Studio (Dennis McNett), Peripheral Media Projects, Actual Size Artworks (Gail Simpson/Aristotle Georgiades), Satan's Camaro (Lenore Thomas/Justin Strom), The Amazing Hancock Brothers, Derrick Buisch (202c), Vitamin DD girl on girl collaboration (Jess Wilson, Erin Lee Jones, Tara Mathison, Kassie Teng and Jenny San Martin), The Scavengers (Jason Ruhl/Amy Newell), Fresh Hot Press, Mess Hall Press, Bikini Press International, Bastards of Print Society VS.

Lots more information can be found here and here. Wish I could be there for it, but I hear that it's going great. I would love to see what my piece looked like projected on the side of a warehouse - that would be amazing. I just could not get away right now....ugh.
