Vermont Studio Center Residency

I have been awarded the Civil Society Institute Fellowship to participate in a residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont. It is a four week long intensive program, which includes, room, board, and 24-hour access to a studio. The residency begins in May of 2011.

I am truly grateful for this award, and excited to document this experience on this blog.

Photos from the Art of the Times Gala

The Art of the Times show in Queens in the Spring was an excellent experience. When you are, and have always been, a painter and what you create is a sculpture. You are naturally left asking yourself many different questions. When you work out the all the answers you quickly realize their irrelevance.

71 inches in three-dimensions has proven to me that the relevant issue at hand is space.

Art of the Times Gala

I will be one of 14 artists exhibiting at the Art of the Times Gala at the Times Building in Ridgewood, Queens on Saturday evening, April 10th from 5:00 to 8:00. The exhibition will be up until April 24th, I will be exhibiting six paintings in the Cube Route.

Kwadrilaterals: The Cube Route

The Cube Route is a kinetic sculpture created out of non-objective paintings. When complete, it will hold six paintings and be suspended from the ceiling by one of the vertices of the cube. The dimensions are 58 x 58 x 40 inches and the sculpture weighs approximately 120 lbs. Numerous conceptual blueprints were created; a tiny prototype looked encouraging; but it was my dear friend Mr. Jeffrey Chandler and his love of woodworking that vaulted this project off the pages and into my studio.
