Grass

So it seems I'm a terrible blogger. But if it comes down to getting online and blogging or painting. I'll take painting any day. More to come soon.

Day 4

My sincere thanks to all of you who came out for the Graduate Fellows Talk last night. It was a very good turn out and a wonderful evening. The talks went smoothly and Taha Belal used the opportunity to present an extraordinary performance/lecture delivered in Arabic on translation of language.

Day 3

Began experimenting with the video component of the installation. I also started a watercolor and worked on my presentation for tomorrow night (Graduate Fellows Talk - Thursday May 14 at 7:30, Headlands). Don't want to stay up too late...

The first night and day and the difference between the two

Day 1


First Night. Building 944, Project Space East. The prep began. Mainly just acclimated myself to the amazing space I had just been granted.

Dinner was great. Of course. Chris Nogoy met me up at the Headlands and we discussed our plans for the following day. 7 am start construction - not a morning person.

Day 2

Construction starts as planned. I would like to take a moment here, in advance, to thank Chris Nogoy, , Ben Cabrera and Fred Goykhman for their incredibly generous donation of their time and skill. Without them I would not have been able to build the bunker - especially in one day!

Beginning



Above, a rendering of the proposed "bunker" to be constructed in Project Space East, Headlands Center for the Arts, California, in May 2009. Below are illustrations of Base End Stations (BES). BES and their associations with both the military and as places of observation were the impetus for this project.
