Next week I ‘ll be part of publishityourself, a two day exhibition of self-published photography books and zines at the Maison d’Art Bernard Anthonioz in Nogent-sur-Marne, France.
Curated by Laurence Vecten and Laurent Champoussin and featuring many friends and photographers who I admire, the show will take place on the 11th and 12th of September, 2010. For a full list of artists and more information, check out the show’s website.

One of the reasons I haven’t been posting a lot lately is that my computer has been broken. However, I’m slowly catching up now that it is fixed!
Awhile ago Paul Paper of I like this blog was kind enough to ask me to make a video for his “Hello I would like to talk about” series. The idea behind it is that he has asked contemporary artists to do video interviews not talking about their own work, but the work of another artist who they admire. I decided to talk about Laurie Anderson (one of my all time favs) and you can watch it here.
The entire series is really cool and I highly recommend checking out the other videos. I’m also going to start contributing to the main blog, so watch out for that as well!

This year I have the pleasure of again being part of the annual AREAWARE catalog, curated by Laura Hwang.
“AREAWARE is a New York City based manufacturer of everyday objects that are both functional and unusual. Our goals are to create thoughtful products that inspire an emotional response and to encourage a dialogue between people and their surroundings.”
Their catalogs are also always beautiful and well designed. The section that I was asked to submit to this year is a collection of stories about objects written by a nice mix of artists, designers, and other creative people. You can read my short story “Pair” here.




I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago–so many nice details and weird spaces in the city.

Next Wednesday is the opening for a group show I am in curated by Karen Codd at Capricious Space in Brooklyn. The opening is from 6-8, so please stop by and say hello!

Sometimes you have no choice but to be strong.
You wake up in the morning and lie in bed and think about some ideal version of yourself:
The better person you want to be, the more accepting person, the braver person.
Etc.
