Rogue Video and Performance Presents
“Speculation and Spectacle”
Art Video Screening
Thursday, May 3rd 2012 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, near 240 Meeker Ave
Curators Elisabeth Murray and Jonathan Brantley in collaboration with Rogue Video and Performance will be projecting video art out-of-doors in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. This event will take place on Thursday May 3rd from 7:30pm to 9:30pm in the area on the underpass of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-287) by 240 Meeker Ave and Father Giorgio Triangle in Williamsburg. The exhibition is a discourse on gentrification, a multi-faceted issue that can transform and transition a city into a place of speculation and spectacle, and holds many different meanings depending on the stakeholder.

Participating artists include; Alexandria Ben-Abba, Aaron Bowles, Alice Bradshaw, Flora Bradwell, Jorge Catoni, Russell Chartier, Javier Chozas, Artemisa Clark, Jian Cui, Mike Estabrook, Samantha Hookway, Amy Jenkins, Jones and Roa, Jason Mitcham, Marco Pareja, Mia Pfeifer, Megha Rajguru, Kat Schneck, Jessie Scott and John Wetterau.

Residencies Residencies Residencies!
I am hooked on Residencies. LOVE them. Loved the autumn at the MAD Museum, loved the cold and snowy February at the Vermont Studio Center and have no doubt I will love the hot and humid summer at the PAA Residency program at the Pajama Factory in Williamsport, PA. SO excited to spend all of June and July there making work!

As hoped (and applied for) I have been fortunate to get a few opportunities granted to me in the form of Artist Residencies. And although it does make life a smidge hectic to only commit to things a couple months max at a time. This first year out of Grad School has been a pretty productive and fruitful year for my work. So sending out thanks and love to all who have touched me and my work this first year in "the real world."
