Interesting read especially as we're at the ISEA conference at Dortmund, Germany where we've heard rumors that 30% of our host cities buildings being empty.
Relatedly our friends Jack Stenner and Patrick Lemieux are promoting their related project Open House where you can virtually control a foreclosed home in Gainesville, FL. More here.

Kavi Gupta's Adult Contemporary - Dirty Black Summer
Kelly Sears. The Body Besieged (2009, 4:30)
Last night we went to Kavi Gupta's screening of film and video works. Biking over to a new neighborhood felt divine. Lots of exercise and fresh air after a day stuck in front of the computer. A nice size crowd gathered and felt approachable. Slowly getting to know this art scene, full of Americans. We are the what?...5th or 6th major wave of American expat artists to flock to this affordable city? And we're ok with that. Others worked hard, building a foundation, and we benefit from that labor. It's comforting to know everyone is so approachable.
Highlights from the films like here.

My friend Danny's work at Leslie Tonkonow, opening Thursday, September 16 at 7:00pm. Some of the same ideas I'm thinking about in The Sherwin Series, but how heartbreakingly powerful in the delicate rendering...
