List-Makers Everywhere!
I am excited about "Guarded Crossings," my Intervention at the Portland Museum of Art Friday, June 28th from 5-7 pm!
All highly overqualified for the job, nine masterful mark-makers* will be offering the free service of crossing things off to do lists that have been encased in protective sheaths. Come experience the frisson of having everything currently hanging over your head knocked off your shoulders in one fell [faux] swoop.
Read more about it here in the PMA's blog post including an interview with me about what might happen tonight in the gallery that houses Roy Lichtenstein's Brushstroke VI, a relief sculpture that simultaneously pays homage to and satirizes the great Abstract Expressionist brushstroke -- hearkening back to a time when telephones were tethered to walls and couldn't delude us into thinking we can do four things at once.
