Paul Bellini, a columnist for Fab Magazine, wrote a blog post about the Enriched Bread Artist’s Verticality Exhibition at O’Connor Gallery at opened on January 9th, 2009.

The post can be found here.

I find that there is so much discussion about computer security and then I come across things like this article with a quote “This is serious security”. I wonder what all the other people who claim they are secure are actually doing. See the article here.

As previously mentioned in this blog, I built the set for Propeller Dance’s “ViewFinder” Performance at Arts Court Theatre in Ottawa. Renata Soutter and Alan Shain were interviewed this morning on CBC Radio 1 in Ottawa.

The interview can be heard in Real Audio via the link found on CBC’s Ottawa Morning Website at http://www.cbc.ca/ottawamorning/archives.html on November 14, 2008 under the title of Propeller Dance: unique dance troupe at Arts Court

Emig Research is doing the set design for a dance performance entitled “View Finder” by Propeller Dance to be staged at Arts Court Theatre in Ottawa on November 13th and 14th at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the Arts Court Box Office: 613-564-7240. This is a performance by three dancers, Renata Soutter, Shara Weaver, and Alan Shain in an exploration of time and space. More information to follow.

Continuum was originally created as triptych for my 2007 exhibition entitled “Continuum” at Axeneo7, an artist run centre in Gatineau, Canada. There are two of the three on display at the 2008 EBA Open Studio. These large-scale works measuring 352 cm x 200 cm x 38 cm are constructed of high-density plywood, mirror, fluorescent lights, and paint surrounded by a cherry veneer frame.

Find below five different images of the two Continuum works at EBA.

Cindy Stelmackowich’s show entitled Embalmination at Kristie Engle Gallery in Los Angeles (mentioned previously in this blog) has been reviewed in the Los Angeles Times.

I went to the Golden Cherry award event last night. It was a fun event that allowed for lots of conversation but no ribbon.

Fun all the same.

I have been nominated for two Golden Cherry Awards; one as Installation Artist of the Year and the other as Artist of the Year in Sculpture. What fun…
