-coincidence, connections (real and imagined) and the inability to comprehend possibilities...
"Bulletin of Atomic Scientists: "Unique as we may think we are, it seems likely that we are genetically programmed to a natural habitat of clean air and a varied green landscape ... For centuries in the temperate zones we have tried to imitate in our houses not only the climate, but the setting of our evolutionary past: warm, humid air, green plants and even animal companions."

"The adult brain is also bound by conceptual limits for space and time. There has been a problem in science to understand the principle of action at a distance. It is assumed that two objects must be close together or connected in some obvious way before the two can interact. Alternative approaches are cumbersome and apparently insoluble. One can imagine the astronomer's first impression when his data suggested that opposite sides of a quasar, tens of light years apart, were responding in a similar manner. Despite immense distance and with no apparent connection, simultaneous reactions were taking place faster than even the speed of light could accommodate."

"Katzen haben von jeher einen tiefen Eindruck auf die Menschen gemacht.
Es gab Zeiten, in denen Katzen vergöttert und verehrt wurden, und wieder andere, in denen man sie als Überbringer allen Übels gnadenlos verfolgte.
Wenn wir heutzutage diesen Tieren auch objektiver gegenüberstehen, eine gewisse Faszination ist geblieben. Mythen und Legenden ranken sich um die Katze, und bereits seit Jahrtausenden spielt sie eine bedeutende Rolle in der bildenden Kunst, in Malerei und Dichtung.
Die große Familie der Katzen lernt der Leser kennen."

"The drumming noise made by the rapid blows of a woodpecker's beak on a tree trunk is one of the most characteristic sounds of the forest. The birds do not produce it solely when they are feeding or excavating a nest. They beat tattoos on resonating timber for the same reason that other birds sing, to declare possession of a territory and to attract a mate. Each species has its own length of drum roll with its own characteristic interval between one burst and the next."

June 7th
I will have work at Mixed Greens during the month of July. The reception is Thursday July 9th.
April 3rd
Opening for inaugural show at Possible Projects, a new space I created.
January 7th
I will be participating in a group show at Fleisher / Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia entitled Rich Text .
The show opens on Thursday, January 22 with a reception at the gallery from 6pm to 9pm, and will be on view through February 21, 2009.
The show includes work from contemporary artists whose use of text varies from single words to involved narratives, anti-aesthetic to highly designed, powerfully specific to poetic and nonsensical. In some cases, text retains its communicative power, while in others, it dissolves into form and object, blurring the line between looking and reading. The artists featured in the exhibition include Conrad Bakker, Mel Bochner, Natasha Bowdoin, Anthony Campuzano, Alex Da Corte, John Evans, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Mark Lombardi, Mark Mahosky, Jayson Musson, John O'Connor, Justin Quinn, Trevor Reese, Isaac Resnikoff, Kay Rosen, Josh Shaddock, Jack Sloss, Bob and Roberta Smith, Jina Valentine, Wayne White and Andrew Jeffrey Wright.
