they fixed your brain when you were young

started thinking about denver stuff alot more heavily today. debating making another zine/artistbook edition for the show. the last ones were a massive hit today. think it's something i can sell? cause that shit is expensive and time consuming. deaaamn


on a different note, go buy the new as cities burn. it's incredible.


corn updates later

salmon/corn installation

As if this week wasn't big and busy enough, I also installed a sculpture i've been working on for the last few months at the Hull House in chicago this week. If you're not familiar with the hull house, they are a group created by Jane Addams to give social services, education, and support to chicago citizens, especially youth. One of their big initiatives is a new program teaching about sustainable eating, including an urban farm on the UIC campus and a weekly free soup event with guest chefs coming in to talk about these sort of topics. In short, it's a great place and I'm honored and extremely pleased to be able to install here.

About the piece. It's titled "Salmon! Now eating corn and loving it." and is a response to the extremely mind blowing facts that farm raised salmon are now being bred to eat a heavily grain diet, and in doing so are loosing their omega 3s and have become the most highly medicated live stock.

The piece is going to be up for a week, and i'm planning to try and photograph it everyday and post here to hopefully get some interesting evidence of it's returning to the earth via animal eating

check back to see what happens...

the mononivores is up

the show at GBU/UIC is officially up. turns out hanging a solo show is dramatically more difficult then expected. either way, here it is! i'm excited about the opening thursday....

mononivore show details

The final details for the MONONIVORE show have finally been knocked out! i'm really excited about putting up (and finishing YIKES!) all this work...

The show will be up at the GBU Gallery in the Art and Design hall (400 S peoria st) on the 5th floor at U of I Chicago from April 27th-30. I'll be having an "opening" reception on the 30th at 7-830pm. afterwords, we will be walking a block north to Jak's Tap to enjoy some adult beverages.

I would love for anyone able to come see this show to come see it.
