Check it out!

I’m proud to announce my first curatorial project in a long time, a film screening (possibly the first of many) at the Museum of Contemporary Photography. My friend and co-curator Kate Bowen have been working on this screening event called Video Playlist to explore and promote contemporary video art at the MoCP. The screening is free on October 21st at 600 S. Michigan Ave. The first installment is Mixtapes and Mashups:

A free video screening featuring artists who playfully and profoundly remix media ranging from youtube monologs and home movies, to Survivor’s Tribal Consul and Mathew Barney’s Cremaster 4. Come watch the re-shaping of the media that shapes our lives and stay for reception with free refreshments.

Work by Natalie Bookchin, Jesse McLean, Nicolas Provost, Jon Routson, and Sterling Ruby. 

Curated by Kate Bowen and David Oresick.

So after twenty some years of continuous education I have decided that
I am finally smart enough and I’m going to graduate. I want you to be
there! Well, not there at the graduation (that would be boring) but at
the opening of my thesis show! Come watch the debut of my new video
work as well as the work of my classmates and enjoy the champagne keg.

Also I know most you can’t come but that’s no reason you shouldn’t get a
sweet limited edition post card. Send me your address and I’ll send it
straight away.Trust me. It’s cool.

My graduate thesis show is coming up May 14th at the Glass Curtain Gallery on 1104 S Wabash. I will be showing work alongside my very talented classmates Heather Christoffer, Jennifer Ray, Jason Reblando and Leilani Wertens. There will also be a website and catalog to go along with exhibit.

I’m excited to announce that my video “Soldiers in Their Youth” can be seen in the 2010 Fotofest Biennial in Houston, TX.
