January, 2007 at Creative Electric Studios: "Past Lives: Thrift Store Ephemera." New paintings, installations, and photographs inspired by used stores.
"Thrift stores are aesthetic: all the terribly ugly objects, lined up on shelves, aisle after aisle: bad designs, bad color choices, bad quality, bad idea, bad time in my life, etc. - but put them all together and it's a beautiful testament to human blundering. Beautiful strivings, beautiful nostalgia, beautiful past times: like people, a beautiful, messy spectrum." Opening reception January 20, 2007 6:30 -
11:00pm.

Formerly on display at the Shoebox Gallery, at Chicago and Lake,
"Sunset on Lake and Chicago" - new paintings inspired by my
disappearing neighborhood. "My neighborhood - Chicago and Lake - is
undergoing a transformation inspired by the renovation of the old Sears
building; it feels like a curtain is about to be raised on a new
neighborhood, one with new corporate neighbors, new sidewalks, new
faces. The paintings in "Sunset on Lake and Chicago" pay homage to the
old neighborhood: it wasn't very friendly, because it was poor, but I
lived there, so I'll miss it. And I wonder where the people from the
old Chicago-Lake will live now, who always have to live somewhere no
one wants to think about." Visit Paintings to see some of the new
paintings.

Snowbird Fundraisers - Throughout 2007, we will be producing a series of gatherings to raise money to shoot Snowbird next winter. Currently in preproduction, Snowbird was written by Wyatt McDill, who will also direct; Megan Huber will produce. Set in the snowy streets, gray parking lots and strip-mall restaurants of North Minneapolis and it’s adjoining suburbs, “Snowbird” is about a woman who’s lost her memory and must learn how to live, work, and make friends among America’s hardworking underclass. Justin Kirk is slated to co-star in Snowbird and the soundtrack will feature music by The Ashtray Hearts, The Nice Canadians and Yo La Tengo. |
