September 2012

   An update and a flashback for September 2012. In January of this year I participated in the exhibition "Things Not Seen Before- A Tribute to John Cage" at Tempus Projects. The work that I exhibited was titled "The Fungus Garden of Every Possibility"
   "The Fungus Garden of Every Possibility"consists of 1. a drawing of 64 mushrooms, each with one of the 64 hexagrams from the I-Ching 2. A table with 64 sculpted mushrooms, each with one of the 64 hexagrams from the I-Ching 3. A dart and 4. A marker.
The visitors to Tempus Projects were able to throw the dart at the drawing, thereby picking a mushroom (if they actually hit one) and take away the corresponding sculpture from the table. The participants were also expected to sign or initial the mushroom they hit on the drawing.

"The Fungus Garden of Every Possibility" is also being shown at the Bob Rauschenburg Gallery from August 24th- October 13th 2012 although the version being exhibited is a new drawing with the 64 mushrooms with the 64 hexagrams.

   Also recently two of my Nazar multiples were shown at the Ybor City Hillsborough Community College Art Gallery. They were both hung from the ceiling at the gallery entrance to protect the space during a tribute exhibition to Steve Holm and Jerry Meatyard.
