San Diego, Here We Come
We are headed to San Diego to be part of Family Matters, a group exhibition in March at SUSHI Centre for Urban Arts!
From their website –
Family Matters
Family Matters introduces Sushi’s audience to a group of artists who reflect on the esoteric legacies of the avant-garde through work that is formally – if paradoxically – influenced by popular entertainment.
A visual art exhibit interspersed with performances, lectures and film.
Featuring San Diego based new media artist Lisa Hutton making dada nonsense poems the subject of her multimedia animations. Andrew Kaufman plays the role of artist-as-amateur-magician in his Kiss series, which pays homage to the lineage of sculptors, from Constantin Brancusi to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, who have made work based on the subject of the kiss. The Hague-based artist Oscar Prinsen takes on the persona of a self-help guru who erects playground sculpture (for adults) that comically institutionalizes many of the themes of early performance art. Iowa based artist, Donna Stack embraces the feminist legacy of using soft, gendered materials in a series of profanity-laden, handstiched welcome mats that would make Martha Stewart blush. And the two-piece Canadian band The Cedar Tavern Singers compose pop songs about such avant-trivia as the Futurist Manifesto and Robert Smithson’s iconic earthwork, Spiral Jetty.
*Exhibit opens Thursday, March 4*
*Opening reception Friday, March 5*
Performance by The Ceder Tavern Singers Saturday, March 6
*Film/New Media presentation Friday, March 12*
Lecture presented by exhibit curator Brian Goeltzenleuchter Saturday, March 13
*Exhibit closes Saturday April 24*

Spoke too soon
Recording has been delayed because the back of our studio caught on fire. Now we have no power and it smells like a camp ground and the bathroom has been reduced to rubble!
Hopefully we can get back to work soon. Sorry!
