For the past two years I have been completing a Master of Fine Arts Degree at UC Davis. The Thesis Exhibition is at the Richard L. Nelson Gallery and Fine Arts Collection at the UC Davis campus. The show opens June 2nd from 5-7pm and will be up through June 23rd.

The work I am showing is a two-player arcade style video game I created called Simmer Down Sprinter. The game is a running race and whoever finishes a lap around the track first wins. However, the game is controlled through bio-feedback sensors and the more relaxed you are the faster your runner goes. Essentially the game is one of head-to-head competitive relaxation. more images and info.

Shopdropping, a show I was in at POND Gallery in San Francisco last year, has travelled to the The New Gallery in Calgary, Canada. It opens June 2nd 2006.

I will be giving a talk at Chicago’s Version Festival 06 this year as part fo the Free University Program/Version Conference. The talk will cover projects like the Anti-Advertising Agency and Budget Gallery, as well as other personal projects.

I have a drawing in The Lab’s Art Sale this year. It’s called Icebreaker: Drawing To Stand In the Street With, To Hang Above Your Desk at Your Job, To Put In Your Living Room, Or Places Like That. It’s a new work – I just finished it today – and it may look familiar. The sale benefits The Lab, and I want to help because The Lab does all the financial books for the Budget Gallery and the Anti-Advertising Agency. Come help The Lab and pick up art works from the likes of Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Tom Marioni, myself, and many more (Visa & Mastercard accepted). (more…)
