Web Updates Coming!

A detail of Ami Tallman's mural that was located at 7065 Lexington, Los Angeles

Over the coming weeks, my webmaster, Zachry Horn, will be adding text descriptions to the various galleries on this site. You'll be able to read a few sentences about what you're looking at instead of simply wading through 15 years worth of images! Dates will be added to the galleries to provide a sense of when various projects were completed, and in what order different bodies of work were made.

Circus Gallery no longer exists. Even Ami Tallman's beautiful mural, for which she received a Durfee ARC Grant, has been painted over. The Masons have started a gallery called Affinity that operates in the erstwhile Circus building, while Circus' esteemed Director, John Knuth, is now the LA Director of Country Club Projects.

In October, will begin showing with an energetic young gallery that just moved from San Diego to Bergamot Station, Luis De Jesus. (luisdejesus.com)

I'd also like to mention my inclusion in the beautifully published book Hammer Projects 1999-2009. It's an impressive, slip cased, volume that I'm extremely proud to be a part of. If you didn't get a copy of Amy Gerstler's exceptional essay when the show was up, it's reprinted here.
