thru 5/16: Chain Reaction 11
Updated January 30, 2009
I was nominated by art critic and curator Glen Helfand to participate in a network-based exhibition; in turn, I invited Pablo Guardia. Visit our and other chains of artists at three sites.
Since launching a quarter century ago, Chain Reaction (the 11th exhibition of this kind at the SFAC Gallery) mimics the format of a chain letter. For this Chain Reaction, ten artists will be selected by a group of advisors, curators and luminaries; those artists will then each choose an artist and then those artists will choose an artist. Works by thirty artists will be exhibited at our three locations: the Main Gallery in the Veterans Building, our window installations site at 155 Grove Street and our exhibition space at San Francisco’s City Hall. Chain Reaction 11 takes the pulse of the current Bay Area art scene and allows us to get inside the artists’ minds to see what they find most compelling.
The ten chains include the following artists: (Initial choosers are not exhibiting work.)

5/6-7/31: We have as much time as it takes, Wattis Institute
Posted February 20, 2010
I'm looking forward to exhibiting Unlimited Promise (2009) this summer.
This exhibition takes as its starting point the multiple conditions of artistic production and display associated with the unique space of the Wattis Institute: an art gallery located within an educational institution. Responding to this set of conditions, We have as much time as it takes presents practices that expose, directly or symbolically, the unquestioned systems and economies of its setting. The exhibition features nine international artists and collectives, working in a variety of media, including sculpture, site-specific installation, performance, and video.

Posted January 30, 2010
Armed with found calendars, a cutting mat and a sharp blade, I made two collages for Monster Drawing Rally to benefit Southern Exposure.

Providing the basic necessities of the drawing practice—pencils, charcoal, pens, markers, ink, and paper—Southern Exposure creates the context while the artists create the content of the drawings. The evening will consist of four one-hour shifts with approximately 30 artists drawing simultaneously each hour. As the drawings are completed they will be hung on the walls and available for purchase for $60 each.
Participating Artists (as of January 29, 2010): Seth Armstrong, Brian Barneclo, Scott Barry, Ben Baumgartner, Iris Berggren, Michelle Blade, Brad Borevitz, Sara Bright, Monica Canilao, John Casey, Nancy Chan, Jon Clary, Serena Cole, Jamie Cortez, Adrian Cotter, Lauren Davies, Ryan De La Hoz, Robin Denevan, Sonya Derman, Inga Dorosz, Lafe Eaves, Christina Empedocles, Rodney Ewing, Kristin Farr, Adam Friedman, Matt Furie, Veronica Graham, Katie Gray, Henry Gunderson, Michael Hall, Jeffrey Hantman, Dana Harel, Nicole Hayden, Jesse Hazelip, Terry Hoff, Ian Huebert, Andrew Huerta, Misako Inaoka, John Kearns, Christine Kesler, Tashana Kjelland, Katrina Lamb, Chris Leib, Justin Limoges, Alexis Lopez, Marina Luz, Paul Madonna, Mitch Manitou, Jessica Martin, Vanessa Marsh, Elisheva Marcus, Sofia Mas, Mike McConnell, Honey McMoney, Anne McQuire, Jeff Meadows, Robert Minervini, Yvette Molina, Brendan Nakahara, Haden Nicholl, Olivia Park, Erik Parra, George Pfau, Genevieve Quick, Kyle Ranson, Lisa Ricci, Lordy Rodriguez, Ariel Roman, Thorina Rose, Zachary Rossman Scholz, Miriam Stahl, Jennifer Starkweather, Kirk Stoller, Nick Sung, Julie Sutherland, Charlene Tan, Katy Tanis, Kevin Taylor, Tracy Timmins, Jamie Vasta, Victoria Wagner, Kathy Warinner, Virginia White, David Wilson, Lena Wolff, Christine Wong Yap, Jesse Wright-Jackson
