The show’s title “Minus” represents how women and minorities are underrepresented in the art world.  Works will be of multiple mediums, including painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography, and deal with issues of identity: gender, sexuality, culture and the body.  This group exhibition is designed to manifest the influence of the “minority” on contemporary culture and on the art world.

Some of you guys met my friend Logan a few years ago when he came to visit Atlanta. I recently attended his MFA thesis exhibition at Artspace 111 in Fort Worth, TX titled Identity Crisis. Here’s my interview with him.

Just want to let all the people who contacted me know that I dropped your work off in Savannah last Thursday morning. Sorry I heard that some of you were not able to get in touch at the email address I left. I don’t know why that would happen, I’ve never had any problems with that email in the 10 years I’ve been using it. I wish I could have helped everyone, this is the best I could do on short notice.

I’m going to Savannah very early on Thursday morning and can take your Silver and Ink work. However, you have to get it to me.
I will be on campus today from 11 to 1:30. If you don’t see me then, you will have to come to my house to drop it off NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY AT 8 P.M. Let me know if you need my address.

I have no idea how the work will get back here.

Just read on the ACP blog that Weems’ book on the project she did with some of us here in Atlanta last year is coming out.
Maybe you’ll get to see me playing dead in the back of a Cadillac.

Hey guys, just thought I’d let you know about some of the video work I’ve been doing lately. I’ve been shooting a lot of stills, but I haven’t been working toward a particular project (that I know of yet). But I’ve felt inspired to make more of a shift toward video lately. Really makes me wish I had taken a final cut pro course in grad school. Dang.

Anyway, I’ve added a few new pieces to the video section of my web site. If you have a chance, I’d love to hear feedback either on here, or through email.

Also, how’s everyone doing? =)

Does anyone know anything good and/or bad about the Pentax 645?  I’m looking at one and have done some research, but i’m just wondering other people’s thoughts…. and a good price range for a used one.  Any comments would be helpful.  Thanks!

Maybe it’s his humility, but Kyle didn’t even tell us about his lecture last year. Heck, I didn’t even know he had a blog. He sounds like a pro! Nice…

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!  Hope everyone is doing well.

What say ye, Awesome ones?
