Recently Peter Cramer, Jack Waters and I were invited to collaborate and present new work at FRISE in Hamburg. In addition to the exhibition, we did a performance and screened new videos. Here are some images of various elements from the project titled “Triple Threat”.

Silverman Gallery is pleased to present THE SHOP: Summer Blow Out, a curated exhibition/ pop up shop featuring artist editions, prints and other ephemera. In the spirit of Fluxus, DIY and punk, THE SHOP explores the ongoing dialogue between printed culture and artistic production, tracing the ways in which self-produced multiples blur the divide between art and commerce. The featured works—alongside limited edition publications, records, CD’s and specially produced zines—question the nature of aesthetic access and dissemination, while expanding the practice of “collecting.” The exhibition will coincide with the launch of The Shop, the gallery’s new online store committed to the support and distribution of artist produced ephemera and rare publications.
Featured works, editions and artists books by Terence Koh, Ari Marcopolous, Bozidar Brazda, John Baldessari, Dash Snow, Matt Keegan, Kathryn Garcia & Richard Lidinsky, Ryan Foerster, Matt Furie, Joseph Akel, Malik Gaines & Alexandro Segade, BLAND, Christina McPhee, Job Piston, Arnold J. Kemp, Hanni El Khatib, Tammy Rae Carland, Aaron Krach, Luke Fishbeck, Marc Arthur, Neil Ledoux, Susan Silton, Yuval Pudik and many more!
August 7 – 22

I’ve been developing a new project called “The Key” at David Cunningham Projects. Performance dates are: 4/31, 5/1, 5/10 and 5/30
Every performance is the expression of a single thought whose tentacles extend to enwrap gallery, performer and spectator in the necessity of its expression. This thought is not simple but extends through ontology, phenomenology, aesthetics and metaphysics. It does not beg forgiveness for its complexity. My process began with research on the Polish visual artist and theater practitioner Tadeusz Kantor. Kantor believes that expression and speculation, not elucidation or understanding, are at the center of the artistic effort- both physically and ephemerally.
