Dear Friends,
Happy 2015!!! I hope all of your holidays were sublime, and that your year unfolds with excitement and love.
I am
thrilled to announce that, on 12.30.2014, I became a finalist for a
Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship.
Douglas Herman, Senior Geographer at the National Museum of the
American Indian, nominated me this fall so that we might collaborate on
new media versions of
my interpretations of Javanese cosmology.
Really, if you're reading this right now please know that your support
is and has been instrumental in achieving this phenomenal honor. Your
thoughts are tangibly felt. Thank you!!
It’s also very exciting to have this same work included in
Living With Endangered Languages In The Information Age, curated by Hanna Regev, and it has already earned some
very nice press. The show opens this
Saturday, January 10th, at Root Division. I would love to see you.
This fall, I left Djerassi Artist Residency with a new
videosculpture series, which I test drove in
Mutable Commute,
an expanded cinema performance with Scott Stark (12.13. 2014, Other
Cinema, SF, CA). In November, our dual-16mm film performance,
Nocturnal Symmetries, also featured in Scott Stark's retrospective, More Than One Way To Find Out at Anthology Film Archives (NYC).
Post-Djerassi, surprise events led to the immediate re-relocation of
OOwen Labs: we are now perched just off of lovely Lake Merritt in
Oakland, CA.
Again, as always, thank you all for reading and for your incredible support.
I hope to see you real soon!
