I recently taught a six-week monotyope printmaking workshop at the Lower East Side Printshop (in midtown). For the third class artists made images by putting found materials through the press…leaves, string, bits of plastic, lace, steel wool, sandpaper, paper cut outs; whatever can be run though an etching press without destroying it. This group of artists have been particularly interested in integrating non-traditional papers into their images.

Trees I have Known

"Trees I Have Known is a juried exhibition featuring artwork and ephemera made by and collected by a diverse group of over thirty artists, thinkers, and neighbors who have created work that reflects upon the tree as subject, metaphor, and inspiration in many media." I showed a 5-image suite of photographs documenting an installation called Human Hugger. I couldn't make it to Kansas to see the show but it looked great from the images I saw online.
Running on Empty: the fossil fuel addiction
curated by Bart King
opening reception: Saturday January 31, 7-9 pm.
January 31 – March 22 2009

"The United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said emissions of greenhouse gases–released when fossil fuels are burned–must peak and begin to decline within ten years if the planet is to avoid the worst effects of global climate change. The American public finally seems to be waking up to this global threat, as evidenced by the popularity of recent films such as An Inconvenient Truth and Wall-E.
This exhibit–our 30th–is designed to to raise awareness of this critical issue. From apocalyptic images of a drowned planet to the promise of future energy sources, these 17 artists address this pressing issue with passion, humor and urgency."

Queens International 4 (QI4) (as a participating artist with the SP Weather Station)
opening reception: Saturday, January 24th, 6 pm – midnight
exhibition run: Jan 24 – April 26th, 2009

"Queens International 4 (QI4), the fourth installment of this biennial, is a survey of new and on-going projects by 42 emerging and established artists, artist collaborations and artist collectives from 18 countries that now live and/or work within Queens. QI4 reflects the multiple influences, thematic breadth and broad range of traditional and experimental approaches employed by the vibrant and growing artist communities in Queens. By developing their own artistic perspective from a position on the art world periphery rather than at its center of influence, the QI4 artists explore the contradictions of the mainstream art world and the real world."

Ephemerality
opening reception: Saturday, January 17 2009, 4-7 pm.
exhibition run: January 12 – April 12, 2009
The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education
8480 Hagy's Mill Rd
Philadelphia, PA 19128
215-482-7300
www.schuylkillcenter.org
"Ephemerality is an experimental gallery exhibition that explores ways in which art, communication, and technology can be used to create a greater sense of connection and meaning within reclaimed wild spaces, natural time, weather, and seasons. In this exhibition, artists will present works that directly reflect the impact that 24 hours on the land of the Schuylkill Center can have on their own awareness, creative process, and use of visual material.
Six artists and one artist team were selected to create temporary artworks with natural materials on the grounds of the Schuylkill Center, with the guidelines that the artworks created must last no more than 24 hours. The installations, sculptures, interventions, or events created were documented by the artists using photography, video, sound, and text. These documentations of the outdoor ephemeral artwork will comprise the gallery exhibition."
