Here’s a stop-motion I made today while making a piece for the show at Klimat in NYC. RSVP on Facebook or just show up :)

You get a sneak-peek at one of the new pieces – even mounting on the new Plywerk panels.

Back in August I went out with my night photo buddies from the newly-coined group “Reciprocity Failures” and decided to mix it up a little. I cut a simple paper mask and asked passersby on NYC’s High Line Park to done the mask and pose for portraits. I love the results and have big plans for more mashup work like this in the future:

I’m pleased to announce an upcoming show at Klimat in the East Village in NYC

The show will run the month of October and will feature all new work. In addition, I’ve teamed up with Portland-based Plywerk to hang a special show for you. Since my last experiment of hanging naked paper, I’ve been thinking about how to display paper without glass, but in a more protective manner. :) And then I remembered meeting this swell guy named Kjell at the Portland Saturday Market.

I was impressed by their seamless mounting of art on maple plywood or bamboo. I kept the info and then when this came up, I decided to give them a ring. Wonderful people – you should try ‘em out!

2 things caught my eye – the finish on the edges is gorgeous:

And they mill out the hookspace on the back – such a clean presentation, I couldn’t resist:

So, back to Klimat – I’m working out the date for the opening with the owner, Peter, who is a really swell guy. Will post details and invites when this is confirmed. Come ready to drink delicious Eastern European beers and wines, and taste some delicious food. We’ll have some special space set aside in the wine tasting lounge in the basement. I know I’m looking to having some more Staropramen – a beer I had not had since Prague back in ’94.
