August 2015

I am curating an exhibition, Technological Mediations, July 31st - September 11th at Art Works Downtown in San Rafael, CA.  The exhibition examines how technology has fundamentally changed how we experience the world.

 

July 2015

I will be an Artist-in-Residence at the de Young Museum in collaboration with artist Chris Treggiari.  Our project, My Museum, is an interactive project that stimulates a personal relationship between the de Young museum collection and its visitors.  The project attempts to break down a perceived wall between the museum and the public, between the makers of the art and the appreciation of it, and the function of the museum as an institution.

My curatorial project, MicroClimate Collective, has an exhibition opening May 9th at Alter Space in San Francisco.  The exhibition includes artwork in a variety of media exploring obsession.

 

I have a solo exhibition of my series, 47 Years, at the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center in Palo Alto, CA.

Two of my photographs from my series, 47 Years, were included in a group exhibition, Relics, at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art November 8th, 2014 - January 24th, 2015.  Relics explores the consequences of today’s accelerated embrace of new technology as well as the political, social and environmental consequences of technical and functional obsolescence.
