Ghost Galleries 2010
"Ghost Galleries" is an ongoing series of speculative photographs of gallery and museum spaces in which the exhibited art has been erased, leaving a few ghostly traces and highlighting the gallery itself as the object of contemplation. The erasure process creates the aura of computer-generated architectural simulations, exposing yet another ghost: the ideal space that underlies the fetishization of the White Box. In some of these photographs, such as Ghost Gallery #7 (above) the erasures have been carried out in such a way that new elements arise, causing the images to shift into a terrain between photography and painting.
Ghost Gallery #7 is included in the current show "Professor Dialogues" (for details, see News column at right).
Other images in the series:Ghost Gallery #3, Ghost Gallery #4 (2007).
"Profesor Dialogues"

I am taking part in this exhibition at I-5 Gallery in Los Angeles that is part of a series of shows looking graduate art programs in Southern California. Participants in a prior show in the series (MFA Conversations) were asked to recommend faculty members who had "made a difference in their graduate experience." I'm proud to be included in this group. Information about my work in the show is at left. I-5 Gallery is at 2100 North Main Street, Suite A-9 in the Brewery Complex.

"OSCENE 2010"
Feb. 20-May 16, 2010
I am taking part in this survey exhibition with a new performance-installation work entitled Hangmen Also Die. There will be a live performance on opening night (Feb. 20) that will be incorporated into a programmed video installation that will run for the rest of the show, slowly morphing over the course of the 12 weeks. Below is a preview of the video installation segment (click for a larger view).
