440 Broadway

The fine folks at 440 Broadway, a Brooklyn studio, played incredible host to Courtney Tramposh and I while we worked on TRADE SECRETS, an art presentation for (e)merge art fair.

The beginning....

Check out the cool mirror trick with The Supernatural piece.


Getting closer...

Check out that great piece in the background by Raphael Taylor. I would love to do a show with him.

I would like to thank Matthew Draving for inspiring me with his couch.

SHIFT + FLOW @ Dorsky

I recently participated in a group show at Dorsky Gallery in Long Island City in NY titled: "Shift and Flow." It was pleasure to work with curator Zelijka Himbele Kozul on a continuation of my "Spirit of the Age" series, which looks at empty buildings and courtyards of late corporate modernist style (ala 1980's).

As usual the piece is difficult to document, because it depends on the viewers movement through the room. The angled images have an eery depth when seen in person. But, here are few different perspectives to give you a sense of it.










The show is up until November 27th with a couple of events forth coming.

Amazing cover and interesting book. Here are some slices:

"The Baroque building can only be grasped through one's experiencing it in its variety of effects. ... Walls and vaults of Baroque buildings are liberated from the plane surface and interact vigorously with both interior and exterior space." p.10 Baroque and Rococo Architecture by Henry A. Milton

"The wall surface is difficult to determine. Even when the wall does show itself from between burgeoning masses, it is ruptured by nitche that presses against the plaster on either side. The main sensation is that of powerful massive structural members purposefully describing a strongly conceived space and not simply subdividing a wall surface." p.11 ibid

Some illustrations:

Love these stairs.

Cool corner.

play with the pieces

Some fun with the dis-assembly and take down of Architecture on Architecture.
