Format...

The format of the site will consist of 1 to 3 month long exhibits (paintings or videos) that I've made over the past 9 years. 

This room, behind the blue door, will be a space for conversations, journaling and interviews. My hopes are for active month long discussions on art and all else. Please feel free to ask any questions, leave comments, proclaim likes and/or dislikes. I love the physical product of art, but as important to me is the invisible discourse and culture it generates. Life breeds around good art, like it does to clean flowing water.

My intentions are to run this site for 10 to 12 months, share around 20 of my pieces, write a lot, and by the end of that time we'll have a nice collection and a better understanding of my artistic footsteps. At the conclusion of the 10 to 12 month run there will be no new exhibits.

PB&JC...

For my first exhibit I've chosen to share a Lo-Fi rap video. This video was shot three years ago, in Oakland and Long Beach, CA.  I'd describe it as dark and humorous. The project ended up getting shelved, but I liked the performances, so I ended up using the footage to experiment with. There was no crew and was done in the similar style of a pickup basketball game... Whoever was there was shot, and whatever we got we got.  I wanted a dirty look, so most was filmed with a $100 Sony handycam. I wanted to experiment, and be free and stupid with some editing and coloring techniques.  Hopefully, through all the filth of my style you've found something interesting for yourself.

There's no good reason for me choosing to launch the gallery with PB&JC, I can only imagine how most will receive it. It isn't a particularly good or bad example of my work, but I would say it does contain a good sample of the artistic styling, encoding and technique that I employ. I try to put a level of interaction in my work, so I have a tendency to fill it with types of puzzles and pathways. However, for Chaos to manifest into clarity it has to be literate, so I figure if I deconstruct some of my work then people might find it more accessible. 

Life and being human is crazy, and the artistic life attempts to come to terms with that. I don't yet know what the purpose of this site is, but if you've made it here, I hope you enjoy the ride and I thank you for visiting.
