SNUG HARBOR STUDIO ARTISTS- SUMMER SHOW 2019

8/31/2019

My new collages are on exhibit as part of
"THE SUMMER SHOW: SNUG HARBOR STUDIO ARTISTS"

The series is composed of the “Chance Haiku” collages, created using the Dada method of generating from chance, with the 5-7-5 syllable and image structure of haiku poetry. The lines are collected with no prior intention and then put together to create the stanzas. I am always amazed at the concepts that are produced by this random method.

In the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art galleries until September 29, 2019, located at 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY

Dollars de dada at fluxfest toronto 2019

7/7/2019

I brought a new Dollars de Dada series to Fluxfest Toronto. Hoping to get people moving the score was something easy and I was happy with the performances. Dollars de Dada is a score where an audience member performs the score wriiten on a dollar bill and then get to keep the dollar bill, some payment for their work. The score this time was “Slowly spell your name in the air, using your arm and/or your whole body. Be expressive!” Performers included Allan Revich, Dan-Wyn Jones & Bibiana's son, at the Sheldon Rose Gallery, on June 21, 2019
Some video can be viewed on YouTube.

Yesterday when prompted to update my WHOIS info for this website I realized it’s been too long since I posted news. Art took somewhat a backseat in September when I fell on a freshly mopped floor and broke my patella in half. At first I thought I would be able to create MORE art since i would not be commuting into a job, but the immobility and depression was more than I expected and I got LESS work done.

• I did manage to make it to the Day de Dada “Dress-Up, Show-Off” event at Westbeth (Manhattan) at the end of October when I was starting to move around more on my feet, and performed the crow piece that had been percolating in my brain for a few years. Video of that is on YouTube.
• And I got back into the cre-a-tion dance collective practices, and we performed the Pina Bausch Nelken Line Dance on the Staten Island Ferry. Video of that is on Vimeo.
• Day de Dada had a successful show from our “What Does Your Dragon Look Like?” call, exhibited at ETG Book Cafe, with all work for sale to support the 2019 St. George Day Festival.

And I sent out a piece for Chuck Welch’s mail art show “Errors, Fakes, and Oddities” (March 8-April 14, 2019) at Sharon Arts Gallery, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, Peterborough, NH. Some of the show has been selected for permanent acquisition by the Smithsonian and my “Mona Lisa” painting with installation score will be going there!

So I’m back to doing stuff, going to Toronto Fluxest in June and getting ready for a group show at Snug Harbor in July, and Day de Dada Performance Art Collective at Le Petit Versaille in August.
