I am curating an exhibition entitled Edible Ephemera which will be at Root Division in San Francisco during the month of April. Edible Ephemera examines the fleeting, temporal nature of food in artwork utilizing transmutation to create a more permanent state.  This exhibition is also part of their one night fundraiser "Taste" that invites local chefs and mixologists to prepare tastings for the evening.

My curatorial project, MicroClimate Collective (in conjunction with Glenna Cole Allee) curated an exhibition, A.D.D., which addresses the malleable nature of concentration and memory, in the age of multitasking.  The artwork reflects the disruption of continuity, evoking disjointed, staccato, arrhythmic experience  The show runs October 20th - November 17th, 2012 at the Emerald Tablet in San Francisco.  A.D.D.  is a featured weekly pick in the SF Weekly NIght + Day section, and a featured event in the 96 Hours calendar in SF Gate.

In conjunction with Phil Spitler, my public art piece Reaching For the Top will be exhibited as part of the ArtHERE program of the 2012 Zero1 Bienniale September 12-December 8, 2012.   Reaching for the Top is a site-specific LED installation in an old ticket booth kiosk in front of the Touchstone Climbing Studio in San Jose. CA. 

 

Reaching for the Top utilizes the metaphor of climbing to symbolize the history and driving force behind Silicon Valley. the piece includes a digitally created landscape of circuit board mountains, blue skies and a single tree with silhouettes of individual climbers scaling the mountains.  Participants from the Touchstone Climbing Studio were photographed to create individual and realistic silhouettes, and to create a connection between the artwork outside and the business within.
