Rooms show + my Art = good month ahead

for the stationary odessy cd release show!
@ the mel and only $6, one of those free cds with admission jobbies.
should be a pretty sweet show.








thanks goes to karl and joyful noise who we will hopefully be doing more work with soonish.

ALSO, i was asked to contribute a piece of Art for the 8th annual Tonic Ball, an event that this year is raising money for the awesomeness that is Second Helpings. the caliber of work has wained and wandered throughout the years but is back to top form, obviously if they asked me, right?

the piece, Marmoset Set (1998), is in fact, a marmoset set list. its been given the treatment of time with liquids and moves and placements and tapings and relocations galore. its more than a set list obviously, but my newer-ish artist statement breaks it down as such:

my work deals with the recreation of new memories through the amassment, assemblage, and treatment of items connected to former ordeals. mix tapes, set lists, aged paint, ten year old digital photos; these things that find their way around my mind, into a drawer, out of a stack.

opening night to see the work along with the others donated this year will be on November 6th at the totally pro shop A V Framing in fountain square. bidding for the pieces is in $100 increments and well, i really hope my piece brings in some dough for second helpings.

the big draw of just giving a piece away for free (aside from getting my name in some heads that have never heard it) is that %100 of the money raised goes to the org. not to me, not to the gallery, not to the organizers. thats how it should be done considering the hits NFPs take these days from corps that cant even play their own game well.

hope to see you thursday or friday.... either way... my shits busy these days!
