Willoughby and Washington

by


I had this crazy experience. I googled Brooklyn brownstone to find an image for the master background of willoughby. When I went out for a film jog yesterday I think I found it. It is on the corner of Willoughby street. I don’t exactly believe in God, but I believe in art. It is these Coincidances that make me keep going. I love science, but art seems to be the way that the universe speaks to me.

The Other Night At Barbès

by

Barbes
The other night I was home alone and bored with drawing on the computer and bored with all manner of other digital media distractions and most importantly, bored with being alone. I became nostalgic for Paris. So inspired by the recent and past collabs with UU, I decided to grab the old Montmartre valise of magic (drawing supplies and paper scraps,etc.) and head out to a local spot I haven’t haunted in a while, Barbes. There to make a mess with ink and paper and people and the ultimate solvent: alcohol. Tango music filled the air as I made some scribbles. It was a nice time and today I am playing with the drawings and thinking about how mixing up video images and digital drawing for Willoughby could be as fun and sort of familiar as making Café Collages, or whatever you call those things I’ve been doing on books and maps and scraps since at least Paris and then Galapagos back in ’97 or 8 I think? Still, it seems important to keep people and place and paper involved at least on a conceptual level.

In other news, it seems official that I will be doing a residency at 17 Frost from November 3 Through the end of the Year! This will be a multimedia installation for the project we’ve been collaborating on since last summer, CAGE.

Some paintings I photographed at a PopUp show I had at 17Frost a couple months back. Only getting around to looking at them now. The one above is spray paint on a Do Not Enter sign and those below are expanding polyurethane foam over wire with spraypaint and they are wearable masks made for CAGE, a film we are still editing.

While in a four month fever dream of animating Pain, I also shot some flip vid (much was lost in a tragic language change to French in my interface, but that is a different story) of goings on at Frost, etc. There is some Jillian Salik, some comedy nght, so x box, some editing Cage, and the world premiere of Pain in the garden on an airflow screen.
