This weekend on my way to the Armory art fair where some of my friends were working, I decided to make some business cards. All of them are unique cut outs from discarded photo prints and collage scraps with little white stickers with my info on top.
I guess they are kind of impractical and I’ve only really given them away to people who already know me–but if you want one of these babies, just run into me and ask for one. I’ll try to carry some around just in case you ever need to get in touch.
Hey! This post is a test.
I just switched over from Blogger to Wordpress. I’m still working on the how it looks but I’m 95% satisfied right now. Also hopefully if you RSS this blog you can see this! If not, the new feed is located here.
Above are some postcard sized collages I’ve been making–and the first is for a house show Matthew Richardson is putting on in London soon. I’ll post more info when I know it.
Also, thanks to Tim and Cab for helping me with the blog switchover! Especially Tim, CSS is really stressful.
Just a quick note: my latest photography publication Glance, put out by Mediabus in Seoul, is now available at Printed Matter in NYC. It is also available online via their website.
It is a bit more expensive than at the Book Fair, but I was shocked how cheap they were selling it for then. It really is printed beautifully and unfortunately not available anywhere else in the US at the moment! I’m also really touched by the synopsis though I’m not sure who wrote it..
“But nothing so delights the mind so much as fond and loyal friendship. What a blessing it is to have hearts that are ready and wiling to receive all your secrets in safety, with whom you are less afraid to share knowledge of something than keep it to yourself, whose conversation soothes your distress, whose advice helps you make up your mind, whose cheerfulness dissolves your sorrow, whose very appearance cheers you up!”
–Seneca in On The Shortness of Life
I love books and zines. One of the best feelings for me is having something you love in your hands. In other words: over the years I’ve accumulated a small collection of printed matter. I also recently spent a lot of time scanning and uploading it to my new Zine Library.
The library was inspired by a few things, but mostly I decided I wanted to have everything in one place to have with me always, no matter where I ended up in my life. Unburdening an unknown future move by taking advantage of the Internet. I’m not really a great collector so it gets a little idiosyncratic and/or personal. Most of the things in the collection were given to me by friends or acquired randomly—but I love them all. Here are a few of my favorites:
Ye Rin Mok, Mini-Zine, 2004
Raqs Media Collective, The Surface of Each Day: Questions for Cosmonauts, 2008
Jaakko Pallasvuo, Kievan Rus, 2009
Erik Winkowski, Still No Surprise (Jenny Holzer Ripoff), 2009
Dario Utreas (Editor), Skìmky 2: Fall Two Thousand And Eight, 2008
And then so many more..

I say come for the week
You can sleep in my bed
And then pass through my life like a dream through my head
It’s like I can’t stop posting to my blog this week.. But! I’m really excited about being part of the first issue of SCHEMATIC Quarterly, edited and designed by Ingrid Burrington and Kimmy Fung in Baltimore.
I just got some copies in the mail and they look beautiful. The idea is that there are 4 contributors per issue on 20×30″ bright white newsprint in an edition of 1000. One artist gets a full side/poster (my honor this time) and the others compose the back. Also in this issue is the work of Archival Editions, Joyce Kim, and Miranda Pfeiffer—all of it is great.

Here’s another guest mom post (a gchat) I thought I’d share:
according to a study done at UT, “Dog people” tend to be more social and outgoing, whereas “cat people” tend to be more neurotic but “open,” which means creative, philosophical, or nontraditional in this context.
P.S. If you can’t tell I’ve found one last pack of polaroid film.. and UT is the University of Texas.
