Spare Room Gallery: Together/Apart

We had our 2nd Spare Room Gallery show on May 1st at our studio in Gowanus. The theme was Together/Apart. Photos from the show can be viewed on flickr and on the blog! It was a wonderful time- lovely people, a mini feast and great art! It was fantastic to see how each person interpreted the theme.

Here's my video piece- I also made a corresponding flip book. The song is Le Tigre's After Dark. It was my first foray into video... I still have a lot to learn, and would like to tweak a few transitions, but it was tons of fun!

Spare Room Gallery was brainstormed in another gallery, CANADA, in order to create an ever-changing place to show new work. The first show, "Sweet/Unsweet," was shown in Bed-Stuy in a spare room. The show took place in December and it was wonderful. Nine artists showed, and we had a brunch at the opening! Soon, we will be showing again, in Gowanus. It has been lovely to have a place to show and really great people to work with. It feels like I'm constructing an existence, not simply waiting around for the world to come to me.
