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.

slideshow is up April 17, 2006
at the opening of Normal Space @ Flux Factory I had a slideshow running on my computer monitor. the images are from various vectors, and while some of them are years old, I think they all helped lead up to the fabrication of Normal Space.
images of studios I have worked in, or friends and fellow artists, or me buying work at exhibitions!
the slideshow as it is now is as it was at the opening, 147 images and randomly displayed. obviously I have plenty more documentation material available so I will probably be adding to this slideshow over time, but for now you can experience it as it was.

artist map April 12, 2006
it’s approaching 2am monday morning and since i’ve pretty much resolved the location of all the work for the show, i’ve gone ahead and sketched out the artist map for the show.
the artist map of course will allow visitors to put name->to->work.
i considered several options for the show no doubt. name labels on the wall are the most obvious option, but as there are already over 20 works on the Space wall, with other works scattered about, the Space is already pretty crowded and name labels i think would have only served to add confusion to the array of works on display.
so i considered writing on the wall, with pencil. while i think this is a nice aesthetic, i didn’t conclude it added anything to the work or the show, and so dropped that option.
i eventually concluded upon a hand-drawn (with pen) map. this was simple as a majority of the works are all located upon a single wall, consolidated, of simple sizes and shapes in relation to each other, and could be simply drawn with annotations of artist names.
i will post the map online after the opening (i just don’t have the time to scan it and do this now), and it will be available at the Space as a letter-sized photocopy for viewers to walk away with.
cards arrived March 23, 2006
the postcards for the opening show arrived today! they look GREAT, and were super cheap! they’re completely blank on the backside which i really love, none of that small-font informational crap, just blank. so i can scribble notes all over them. yay!
cards printed March 16, 2006
I remade the postcard for the show. Actually, I never had a card made, just that other image (which I was distributing photocopies of by hand because I don’t have enough ink to print these en masse), which is very similar to the one used for the card. But I found a great printer online with a discount going on for this month for regular 4″x6″ postcards and thought I should test their quality, and what better opportunity than for my first studio show! And this way I can send actual cards to the artists involved so they can show everybody else how important they must be because I collect their work.
I mean, that is why we make work right? So other people can collect it. Right?
It’s nearly 1:30am, the file has been uploaded to the printer, the cards are scheduled to arrive on the 23rd. If you want one and aren’t sure if I have your postal address, then send me an email and I’ll send you a postcard! Pretty cool huh?
