The Making of Americans: Being a History of a Family’s Progress
January 19th, 2012 11:12 am : Brooklyn, NY
In celebration of the opening of 155 Freeman, Triple Canopy is pleased to present a marathon reading of Gertrude Stein’s enormously long and allegedly unreadable novel The Making of Americans: Being a History of a Family’s Progress. This weekend, starting on Friday at 7 p.m., an invited list of New York–based artists, writers, publishers, scholars, and other collaborators will gather in Greenpoint to perform the entirety of Stein’s text in a continuous read-in, expected to last 48 hours, more or less. Additional information on the event is here, and the schedule is below. We hope to see you there!

january student rent edition
January 10th, 2012 10:41 pm : Brooklyn, NY
The studio rent editions are a monthly edition series that subsidizes the cost of my studio in Long Island City. Each month I make a new small work that is printed as an edition of ten, and sold for $34USD each.
Some old editions are available here.
The new edition for January is available here.
January’s edition is a still from this Youtube video for New Order’s Leave Me Alone:
I don’t know who made the video. A friend sent me the link. The image of the silhouette standing on the beach looked like it was possibly from a series of photographs I made over the past five years or so, culminating in Public Access, a project commissioned by SF Camerawork in 2011.
In Public Access, I made photographs up the California coast, in which I was standing on California’s publicly accessible beaches (most of California’s coast is public). The photographs were then placed onto Wikipedia such as:
There is a double play on the word public. The California coast is a physical public space. It is legally public property. The internet, where the images end up, is also a kind of public. It is where information is distributed, accessed, altered, re-distributed, re-accessed, etc… There are three parts to the project. The making of the photographs up the California coast. The insertion/ distribution of the images online. And the third, their future beyond.
The person who made the New Order video explains how the images were acquired:

I have a small contribution in this issue. It is a list of hashtags surrounding the Occupy movements that I collected with my friend (from Pittsburgh), Ed Steck.

beat the bounds
January 7th, 2012 2:52 pm : Brooklyn, NY
I found a photograph of myself on an Irish news site. I did not think about it at the time, but it now reminds me of a section in Lewis Hyde’s book, Common as Air: Revolution, Art, and Ownership. Screen shots from Google books.
