SFMOMA 75th Anniversary

I was in San Francisco recently and attended the celebration weekend for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's 75th Anniversary show. Wow. Seems like every major artist working in America in the last hundred years is on display, with multiple pieces. And they had 75 artists, critics, and curators giving 7.5-minute talks about specific works of art throughout the museum. Artist Tony Labat (above) spoke about Howard Fried's super-8 film installation (presented in video) Inside the Harlequin: Approach-Avoidance III and II.

Videos on Leadership Institute Posted

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation has just posted three videos I produced for them on their multimedia page. The videos feature three alumni of the Massachusetts Institute for Community Health Leadership at their workplaces reflecting on how the Institute experience impacted their work. Their supervisors also speak to their improved effectiveness on the job. It was a pleasure working with the Foundation and the three featured alumni on these pieces. You can also see the clips on my site: about Joe Iannelli of Massachusetts General Hospital, Lindsey Tucker of Health Care for All, and Jennifer Chow of Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA Foundation. Thanks to all three for their generous participation in the project!

New Installation Page on Site

We've just added a new section to my website with information about the art installations I've begun making in the last year and a half. My first work of public art, 60.30.1 (pictured above in a photo by Matt Stacey), was set at 11 sites on Harvard University's campus in December 2008. In the summer of 2009, I took a great installation course from Felipe Dulzaides at San Francisco Art Institute and further explored this avenue of work. I see it as an interesting way to develop and present my ideas about the intersections between cultures, histories, and time.
