grateful and very excited to officially be located now in a new stellar workspace.
thanks to enklave berlin for allowing me to join their creative community housed inside this lovely brick building deep in the heart of neukölln.
email for studio visits, directions.
thank you to everyone that came to the group open studio at the swatch art peace hotel last week and made the entire evening so visually charged, unforgettable, and such a perfect way to wrap up the last few days of my time in shanghai.
i am proud to have worked alongside such an amazing group of artists, who fulfilled their separate artist residencies and realized their own work during the same time i realized mine. it has been a pleasure be able to show the results of my research and and energy during these last few winter months as part of this saph event with the work of the following talented people: alexandre and john gailla, elena monzo, dominique othenin-girard, yuan jinhua, chiara luzzana, sofia ortiz, zhu ye, sandro del pistoia, juliana ong, george van wetering, mujin, jovanna tosello, kwang-ju son, maria paz, phillip reed, linda spaman, and michael maurissens.
four of my selected drawings made during my stay.

so the year of the snake is, by far, the most productive year so far ever. with paint literally everywhere.
most of this sewn text compilations are from a secondhand book of collected chinese jokes I found in a bookshop here. they are assembled in such a way that the jokes are still readable …
and to top the list [or close to the top] of reasons why we may actually be living in the end times – 696 weihai lu’s artists are officially farewell-ing off into the sunset with a last group exhibition/party/blowout-celebration this saturday, 30 april, 2011.
the flyer, as it was sent to me, is just below but will be posting more details as they arrive.
thanks to all that came to the open studio tuesday night! it was lovely seeing so many faces there, especially since so many were some of my favorite faces. when people come together over caiprinhas to check out brains and talk shop it makes for good times – as well as good photos.
above are some photos taken by talented friend, xepo w.s. – fellow shanghai-based artist who has been working together with me recently on a video project, URBANVIDEOSCAPESHANGHAI. more to come on this project soon.
