If you’re in the Boston area, you might like this show about art, technology, and spiritualism. My microradio sound art piece “Songs from the Portuguese” is in it. The opening reception is Friday, Jan 28.

A performance with handmade instruments at Barbès in Brooklyn, Wednesday March 3, 2010 at 8pm.
Like last year, I’ll be joined by Jason and Chris of the Glass Bees!
Good old Flux Factory is having a show called Housebroken to inaugurate their new home in Long Island City. They invited artists to come in and mess with the space. I grabbed a few sacks of dishes and cookware from their kitchen, engraved them with various texts and images, and gave them back. They’ll be eating off this “installation” for years – or at least months, until it’s all broken.
Housebroken opens this Friday at 8pm – go!
Here’s some pictures of bits of my contribution. More at flickr.
Vegevision!
We owe that awesome headline to Brooklyn artist Ranjit Bhatnagar, who sometimes uses the term for his flatbed scanner images of Greenmarket produce, a project he’s been working on since 2000. His carrots graced the cover of Edible Brooklyn’s Spring 2007 issue, and selections from his scans–lovely little sprays of garlic chives, slices of okra that look like stars, and of course, bacon–are being shown through the month of December at the Baby Grand (world’s smallest) karaoke bar in a show called Greenmarket Scanography. For those who’ve been to this tiny Soho spot on Lafayette St., you know the key component of that name is Baby: This is but a sliver of a space, and thus Bhatnagar’s work, like others previewed at the bar, is being shown in slide format. Literally–the slides, shown below, are displayed on the wall, lit from behind, and viewed using the provided magnifying glass. Oh yeah, should you miss the show, you can see some of his recent work on Flickr, too.
Preparing for a mini-show of tiny veggie photos at the micro gallery at r bean’s baby grand bar in soho, nyc! The show will be up Dec. 1-31.
I’ve been making these veggie pics for almost ten years now!
This month I’ll be the “artist in residence” on the Brooklyn Museum’s 1stfans Twitter Art Feed. Through Twitter, I’ll be conducting variations on the Surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse, in which participants make a collaborative work of art by alternating to add pieces to it. I’m reviving a game I first organized in 1992, back in the dark ages of the web!
You’ll have to join the 1stfans membership program to play the game, but it’s a worthy cause! And I’ll post the results of the game at the end of the month.
11pm Thursday April 2 at Galapagos in Brooklyn — I’m performing with some freshly-built electromechanical instruments, some of which are shown here. On Sunday they’re going to become part of a permanent sound installation at the Coney Island Museum.
