Oops, I’ve been negligent in my duties! If you are in the Chapel Hill/Raleigh/Durham area this weekend, be sure to check out the Infinite Folio at Fort Grunt. Lou Joseph organized 8 of us to create a pool of images based on clouds and smoke, and then we all remixed the images to create a series of digital collages. They will be projected in a continuous stream throughout the exhibition. This weekend is the Durham Art Council’s biannual Art Walk, so they will be open today from 10am-6pm, and tomorrow from 1pm-5pm. Here is the list of players:

Micah Bornstein (Chicago, IL)
Grayson Cox (Brooklyn, NY)
Ben Fisher (Durham, NC)
Jerome Grand (Chicago, IL)
David Huyck (St. Paul, MN)
Lou Joseph (Durham, NC)
Mario Marzan (Chapel Hill, NC)
Mark Rice (Bloomington, IN)

ALSO! If you are in the Twin Cities this evening, be sure to head over to Franklin Art Works to see my friend Nicola López’s installation, Constriction Zone. The reception runs from 6-8pm, and admission is free. Her HUGE installations of woodblock prints are pretty amazing– even the MoMA thinks so, so they bought one. How cool is that?

So GET OUT THERE!

It looks like the AA boys have a spankin’ new website for your viewing and purchasing pleasure. Here’s a classic video of their silkscreen process:

Tiffany Bozic has long been one of my favorite contemporary painters. In the spirit of Audubon, and along with Walton Ford and to a certain extent Andrew Brandou (see his “After Audubon” series), Bozic takes her passion for nature and animals and translates it into amazing works of art. I still haven’t had the pleasure of seeing her art in-person, but this beautiful video further illustrates what I had already assumed from looking at her work: she LOVES nature and its various lifeforms.

It appears that the work from the residency filmed in this video, an exhibition titled From the Depths, is going on display this week. Here is some more information, and the opening is tomorrow. Wish I could be there!
