Artistic Collaborations

It's not every day that artists meet other artists who are interested in so many of the same things, and even have an appreciation for one another's aesthetic.

I have known Tokyo-based Colombian artist Klaus Fruchtnis for many years, but it is just recently that we discovered our similar interests in using photography as a way to capture urban spaces, in particular public ones. We also seem to always end up in language-based exercises.

We first collaborated on the Thing-a-Day blog run by some great people over at Eyebeam, and most recently decided to continue these ideas in a project we are calling Cross Urban.

I also recently met Brooklyn-based artist Annie Leist, (we were in a group show together at Broadway Gallery) and when I read her artist statement, I had to make sure I was not reading my own. I'm sure we'll find a way to work together as well - something I look forward to!

A collaboration in Guatemala: Opening @ Parsons on 09/24


THE NEW SCHOOL COLLABORATES: Ajkem’a Loy’a & CARE
An in-progress exhibition of an ongoing collaboration
Aronson Gallery - 66 5th Ave, NY, NY
09/19 - 10/03, 10AM - 6PM
Opening Reception
09/24, 6PM

During the month of June 2008 I was one of two faculty, 14 students, and 1 project coordinator from The New School who lived and worked in the small lake-side village of San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala, to collaborate with a group of Mayan artisan women, Ajkem’a Loy’a. Come check out this exhibition which displays documentation of that process that started in a Spring 2008 class on campus in New York City and culminated in Guatemala in late June.

Recent (old) Work





I actually dug these two images out of my vault recently. The one with the lens flares of the fire is probably going to go into the book I'm working on for my 'points of interest' series but the one of the doorway is a bit of an orphan right now, it may find it's way into the same body.
