A Funny and Silent Night

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Brad and I started SAMETIME one year ago yesterday. It has been an awesome and sometimes sobering experience. We're going to keep going for another year and will be joined by 4 more artists: Kate MacDonnell, Bryan Martin, Jesse Sommerlatte, and Soung Wiser. We are designing the new format for the project and it will no longer be housed at my website, but instead at www.sametime715.com.

We hope you'll visit (we'll be snapping along regardless).

She didn't say Duchamp once!!

I just found out today that Liz King is having a gallery talk at VACR this Thursday at 6pm. I'll let you know how many times she says "Duchamp" (that wasn't nice). Or better yet, maybe you'll come, we'll talk, and count together?

Whew. I'm wiped out. I've been doing nothing other than working to get ready for the Visual Art Center's grand reopening celebration. The weekend of events is over, I didn't get any calls from our security service, last night, I only have to go there tonight at 6 to lock up. I think Im going to get a portion of my life back but first I'll have to recover.

Stop by to see what's going on. The newly renovated space is really amazing and for now it's clean. The first exhibition in the new gallery is work by Liz King, a sculptor and professor at VCU. The show, a retrospective of her work that will travel to four other venues over the next year is titled The Sizes of Things in the Mind's Eye.
