the projector runs the show October 21, 2006
I think I’ve found the projector I want to acquire for 48 Hour Run @ Normal Space: a Lumenlab pre-made-but-DIY-driven projector that supports component, s-video, tv (coax) and vga signal. Inputs aside, the main reason to acquire this projector over many others is the $30 replacement bulb. Yes, only $30! Whereas most Sony or InFocus or other manufacturer’s bulbs cost around $300 to replace (meaning after replacing two bulbs you could have bought a new projector!), LumenLab claims to have found a way to use a $30 lamp to produce approximately 6000 hours of lamplife at 1000 lumens. Of course those aren’t too many lumens, and the unit only supplies a 600:1 contrast ratio, but for the cost and for affordable art projects, this projector should run the show!

re-title listing October 9, 2006
Re-title was kind enough to list my call for submissions for 48 Hour Run, a video screening project I’m planning for the future in my studio at Flux Factory. I’m listed in Artist Opportunities #44; for those who don’t know re-title have a service where every fortnight they publish (via email) listings of opportunities (from residencies to awards to exhibitions) for artists. If you’re not already signed up I highly recommend it. Not to brag or anything but their listings tend to be highly filtered (around 10-15 per issue) and offer some of the best opportunities of the moment.

Normal Space aftermath April 14, 2006
the inaugural opening at Normal Space was a great success, judging by the volume of Stolichnaya vodka and Baileys Irish cream I dispensed!
thanks to all the artists I have worked with over the years to make this show possible, thanks to the artists who showed up, and brought along their crowds to what was one of the more-exciting Flux Thursday events in some time.
other thanks are due:
thanks to Jacqueline for working the bar.
thanks to Morgan for getting me those lamps.
thanks to Stefany for the ice.
thanks to Anthony for screening his film.
thanks to Jean and Kerry and Robert for their art and support.
thanks to Emma for the coconut i scream.
thanks again to Jean for the excellent dinner.
I will compile documentation shots soon, and make much of this material available on the web for future reference or access elsewhere.
