Shows, shows, and great luck!

Hello!
I hope you are doing well!

Just a quick update on life from the studio, as it's still going pretty strong. I recently received great press for my solo show, Fluidity. You can check it out here -> No pain, no gain: Artist was inspired by illness. The show ends October 19th, catch it before its gone!

I will have several group shows coming up in October/November in the DC area as well. See in info below.

Sparkplug; NEW WORK

Jenkins Community Gallery, June 19 – August 22, 2009

Opening Reception: Friday, June 19, 6 – 9 pm

Artists Talk: Wednesday, July 22, 7 – 9 pm


DC Arts Center’s resident arts collective Sparkplug is, at present, a spirited gathering of ten artists and curators who meet twice a month to discuss their work, explore the arts in the nation’s capital, grow their community, and dream up creative engagements in DC and around the globe. In the context of this closely-focused show, Sparkplug’s mission will be to testify to its own mutable now: the now of its production, the now of its collective exchanges, the now of individual stances outside of the collective, the now that will inevitably be then soon. For a collective whose very existence is based on a charter of becoming, of sharing, of transitions, of emergence, of change…the privileging of a specific Sparkplug moment presents a persistent (albeit purposeful) challenge.


Curated by Lea-Ann Bigelow and Blair Murphy, the show will highlight painting, drawing, video, photography, and mixtures thereof by:

Deborah Carroll-Anzinger, Peter Gordon, Lisa McCarty, Kathryn McDonnell, Michael Matason, Mark Planisek, Karen Joan Topping and Jenny Walton.

Upcoming Exhibitions at The Phillips Collection

I can't say how much I'm excited about this exhibition being right next door to work! I think most of my lunch hours will be spent here.

Upcoming Exhibitions at the Phillips Collection: "Paint Made Flesh"
June 20-September 13, 2009
Through about 40 paintings created since the 1950s, Paint Made Flesh reveals a wide range of artistic responses to both the sensual properties and metaphorical significance of human flesh—and the ways in which artists continue to use traditional methods and the human figure to explore the human experience. Works in the exhibition are by 32 internationally renowned modern artists, including Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Alice Neel, Philip Guston, Julian Schnabel, and Lucian Freud. Paint Made Flesh is organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, Tennessee."

The Art Registry

This promises to be a great show of talent!

The Pink Line Project is working with The Art Registry to bring you another uber awesome art installation by one of my favorite artists, DECOY. Come by and take a look and also see works by other great artists.
