December 2009 Archives
There is an article in the current issue of Damn magazine from Belgium.
ROLU in Minneapolis commissioned Mylinh Nguyen and myself to do a project with them. 6 posters were made, which will be released once a month starting now. Each poster will also serve as an invitation to an open call for photographs resulting from different ideas. All submitted photographs will be exhibted at Art of This Gallery in Minneapolis. Complete sets of posters are available at various stores. Other relating events will be held in Minneapolis and other areas. Check the link for information.

Commissioned by NYU, the above white neon sign was made. In the night it is turned on in a dark location where people can come and congregate around. It can be used in different contexts and intents, but always under the same circumstances of a meeting in the dark.

December 6- December 16, 2009
Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY
In Into the Archive, seventeen works (sixteen digital reproductions and one artist’s book) by six contemporary artists are integrated into the Bard College Stevenson Library collection. They are bound and shelved alongside the texts according to the subjects that inspired or informed them. Each piece is assigned a call number and is temporarily annexed into the library’s online catalogue. (library.bard.edu)
The discrepancy between the well-organized, strategic arrangement of knowledge in a library comes into contrast with the vastness of the work, allowing it to stand in relief against the concrete subjects that frame it. Marked by conceptual rather than aesthetic landmarks, the works of Into the Archive span all four floors of the library, enabling a more active viewing experience. The contemporary is juxtaposed with the historical, the lone star with a constellation of knowledge.
