I don’t know why, but the above banned XBOX 360 commercial, and the suggestion that we are, as a species, now trained to recognize and participate in gun play, sans guns or any kind of actual threat/reason, telling. The audition tape is possibly more compelling. It’s like Pavlovian social programming put on more [...] Last Thursday’s Ruins performance was awesome. A ton of people came by, and folks were beyond supportive, getting all involved, wearing Edith’s gorilla suits, engaging with the work, the whole shebang. My evening was made by the appearance of one of San Pedro’s most active lunatics, an apocalyptically-minded conspiracy theorist who goes to [...] Flashback to 2006. When John O’Brien asked me to organize a show for The Brewery Project. It was awesome, because I usually don’t get to participate actively in the shows that I put together. What came about was Contemplating Apocalypse, an examination of apocalyptic themes by nine artists. If you’ve been reading this [...] ぎゅうちゃん、こと篠原有司男氏「1億人の大質問！笑ってコラえて」に出演。 from First and last name on Vimeo.

Following the performance in the Aratani Theatre, the crowd [...] About a month ago I shot Jocelyn Foye’s first Roller Derby Project, the results of which are currently on display at Angels Gate in the show New In Town. You can read all about that shoot here. Joceyln wanted to try another take on the project, a version that was more focused on [...] For those not in the loop on her work, Jocelyn Foye captures the performances and actions, primarily by athletes, in clay and then uses those imprints to make sculptural works. Live performances/actions or photographic documentation of performances often accompanies the work. I’ve been working with Jocelyn for a while now, and commissioning, promoting [...] The first of Slobodan’s Rolleiflex photos from Fluids at Angels Gate are in, and awesome. The photo above is my favourite photo from the project so far. Check the other four out over at the AGCC blog.
