Was great to collaborate with the Design and the Arts Library at ASU for our 3rd Annual Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. Glad to be a part of these global events
This animation still from Kingdom 5KR, as a DiBond mounted C-print, was recently included in the Wassaic Project Winter Benefit raffle at the Invisible Dog, Brooklyn, NY (February 2016). Kingdom 5KR is the newest of my series of short animations using ready-made 3D objects – boats, cars, pills, booze, pretty people – as metonymies for leisure and privilege. Kingdom 5KR is a super yacht owned by Al-Waleed bin Talal, member of the Saudi Royal Family; the boat is named for his investment company The Kingdom Holding Company, his lucky number and the initials of his children. Waleed purchased the boat from Trump, who called it the Trump Princess. The yacht was originally built in 1980 for Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi, and named for his daughter Nabilia. It was used in the 1983 Bond film Never Say Never Again and referred to as the Flying Saucer.
The wonderful Eva Davidova invited me to show my new animation as part of Happenland, a show she curated with Almudena Baeza Medina at Radiator Arts. They also included Pyrite, an AR app made by Mitch Miller and Phoenix Toews with my help back in 2011. Happenland opened on Oct. 30th and will run through Dec. 11, 2015. It is a wonderful show that includes lots of great artists including Cliff Evans and Marina Zurkow. We are going to do a talk at the gallery on Dec. 10th.
We got Fish Stories Community Cookbook back from the printer and it looks great. We have been sending copies out to contributors and gave a bunch a way for free at the Pier 42 Fall Celebration on Oct. 25. Email us if you would like a copy. Many thanks to Andy and G&P Expert Printing on Center Street; if you are looking for a terrific printer with good prices in Lower Manhattan look no further then G&P.
