one million dangers of devil'sland

2008-02-12T20:17:00.000-08:00

Sculpture by Gian Pierotti
Installed on anonymous graffitti

Today Gian invited me for an art adventure at a little post-apocalyptic ruin paradise here in the Utah wilderness we know as Devil'sland
We extracted Ruel from his sickbed to join the adventure.
Gian shot photos of his little ceramic sculptures

and I dropped my sunglasses into a pit half filled with insecure ice.

Just one of the seven dangers of Devil'sland.

one million tapes holding together styrofoam drawings

2008-02-12T18:09:00.000-08:00

New work from Berlin.

Styrofoam and electrician's tape housing pencil drawing on paper. Although I consider the tape lines holding the styrofoam together a drawing itself.

one million Berlin Bild proposals

one million Kompact Living Spaces

2008-02-06T14:00:00.000-08:00

"Bild 36: Kompact Living Space" (Berlin Bild)

Balancing these computer monitors was a strange afterthought addition that I ended-up loving for the unexpected StarWars reference.

one million toads, ballerinas, and frosties

2008-01-18T10:44:00.000-08:00

Six weeks ago I made two new "Kitsch Paintings" while in Richmond but never took photos of them before taking-off for the holidays in Utah. Then last week I made one in Utah also. Here are the snapshots of the three together then:

"Toad Trap"

I found these garden toads in Vermont and couldn't pass them up. Since I was focused on other work I boxed them up and mailed them to myself in Richmond so that they could be permanently organized into this tar black rubbery trapezoid they were begging for.

"It All Comes to a Head"

While working with the toads I was also making the soap installation (a few posts down) and came across a huge box of these ballerinas I bought with Casey Smith when we were shopping in a dollarstore in Alameda. I went with the triangle form on this one - I love how the jagged bottom gives a stealth fighter reference against the feel of the pink color field.

I was pleasantly unprepared for the field of Larry Poons-esque gold ovals dotting the surface: 'made in china' stickers .

"Snowball"
I got seasonal with my thrifting in Utah and gathered all the snowmen in for this one.

one million tiny fake art 21s

2008-01-14T13:33:00.000-08:00

http://www.zanisnik.com for Brian boxing a wolf

I had forgotten about this until an email today. A guy with a camera called NewArtTV came to the Art Omi Open Studios the last day of July and filmed me and some other artists, namely, David Ford, Seeman Ho, Brian Zanisnik and John Nicholson. Mine is the most boring and I don't recommend it, but they are all linked in the title if you dare.

one million mystery berlin residencies

2008-01-10T12:40:00.000-08:00

As some of you know, I will be boarding a plane in a week for Berlin for a residency I know almost nothing about. Now I know a little more due to this new "webbsajt for Kompact Living Space":
http://kompactlivingspace.smorgasboard.org

After Berlin I'd like to invite anyone who can to join me for Casey Jex Smith's show at the Drawing Center in SoHo on February 22nd (worth crossing the country). Soooo excited!

And then, as predicted and as depicted above, I'm launching from New York into Mexico City!

one million christmas lists

List Drawings I've made in December here in Utah

one million colors of paper, tape, and yarn

2008-01-04T12:14:00.000-08:00

Vermont Studio Center (October)
Blame it on my stolen computer, the holiday laziness slump, or the rain; but two months later here is the second part of my Vermont work I've been meaning to post.
If you look closely you can see the housefly hanging out on this one.

Some bigger versions of the drawings i've been up to. These start as giclee prints of enlarged to-do lists, paired with a newer idea: construction paper/electrical tape 'drawings'.

The first stack rarely stays put does it. I guess that's how they figured out the wheel: while trying to stack really round rocks into a wall. In the terms of Andy Goldsworthy "the stone was speaking to me, I had to listen to the stone and try again."

Jorge and his smoking aura.
