A Bit Belatedly, the opening of Urban Utopia, April 24th at 32 Greene Street

On the 24th was the opening for 'Urban Utopia,' a show I had work in at 32 Greene Street in Soho, and put together by Kipton Art. Lots of my friends and family showed up and I forced them to pose with my work! Here they are....

Armory Fair /Kipton Art Launch Event at THE BOX

Well, it is art fair week and everybody's crazy with parties! Last night I went to the Armory Fair party at the Box on Christie Street, hosted by Kipton Cronkite of Kipton Art. It was a blast, with tons of art lovers, artists, and all other fabulous folks crammed in to sip cocktails and watch performances; a singer/ songwriter in a large dress, a beautifully singing too-handsome man with piano backup, and several others.

KIPTON ART at Saks Fifth Avenue

This Monday night I attended the Kipton Art announcements of the 'Kipton Rising Artists of 2010' at Saks Fifth Avenue. The winners---Kiritin Beyer, Julie Combal, Bon Duke, Emily Korman, Avery McCarthy and Matthew Satz---were announced following music and cocktails---congrats to all!

ARTIST UPDATE

I definitely have already fired myself as the writer of this blog---in fact, I had to ask my graduate school sister to start giving me assignments so I"m more on top of it.
It's been a busy few months, with lots of openings and writing-of-grant-applications.
In a nutshell:
-applied for grants from the Graham Foundation for Architectural Research, the Guggenheim Foundation, NYFA, and several others. My fingers are crossed for all of these, as grants are the only way I can possibly continue my world's fair project at a pace that is faster than that of a dead snail.
-sold two prints, of my newest variation on the 1893 Chicago site at night (as seen below)
-had openings at the BOFFO show in Brooklyn Heights and Dutch Kills Gallery in Long Island City, where I was the October guest artist
-made it to the semi-finalists of the Photolucida Critical Mass competition
-set up a solo show at the South Oxford Artspace in Ft. Green, Brooklyn for March
-and, have been always, always, making new work
