spring planting will be shown in march 2008 - plenty of time to start something growing in a pot, take pictures, and get them to me for inclusion in the piece.
i mentioned that i want to make this piece a few months ago to my mom. she took a ton of pictures, something like seven hundred i think she said - couldn't believe it but it makes sense, daniel said after talking to me that he believes my suburban upbringing was definitely a key influence in conceptualizing this piece.
anyway, my mom also emailed me a few of the pictures she took, here they are. thanks mom!

haplapnaptap (have a painting? leave a painting. need a painting? take a painting.) is over. we facilitated the giving-away of sixty-two original works of art, fostering connections between one hundred and twenty-four people.
basically everything which occurred last week exceeded our expectations.

many thanks to everyone who participated in the show and made it happen.

still takes forever. hours and hours and hours. the machine works at one thing, i work at a lot of other things, and i enjoy my little breaks so much too - it's a nice division of responsibilities we share.
editing again
ok, so the hard drive situation is nowhere near resolved. but today i got a new one so at least i can start making new work again. here are two video still from the first g.l.u. (global lawnchair unit) collaboration. g.l.u. is nuala clarke, erik sanner and jose villalon.

judson is helping me figure out how to make an interactive piece also inspired by rauschenberg's "erased dekooning." here's an initial sketch for how it's going to work, more to come. will likely be shown in november. excited.

thanks a lot.
oh yeah and we're looking for volunteers, either 12pm-3pm or 3pm-6pm. if you're interested please shoot an email to pennytray@gmail.com and i'll invite you to the calendar, you can see what's available and pick a slot.
finally
steph and i have been talking about doing something together for maybe two years or so. the problem was what - how to combine still photography with new media. i have all these picky little rules about my work (for example, it has to always be changing). the solution was for me to relax a little bit (this was really a result of trying to be open-minded in the g.l.u. collaboration) and say "hey, it's not my work, it's our work, it can include my input without adhering to my strict methodology."
so, i present you three images out of hundreds (at least twenty of which we both really like). what you're seeing is steph's fire escape picture projected by onto real fire escapes.
