zapping the southwest

I must drop my taser for a moment, as this guy has one pointed directly at my brain.

Brooklyn based artist, sound-maker Brad Kahlhamer has been/is be combining almost everything I ever hoped to see in the push and pull where Native American influence meets expressionistic impulse in action.

All of it, the drawings, paintings, and especially sculptural work, strum my strings.

No more words from me. There are plenty out there online already. However, I suggest just going direct to the source: http://www.bradkahlhamer.net/

this exhibition by franklin evans...

seems absolutely taser factory, and tops my recent list of action that i'd love to experience in person. 
however, seeing as how i will not be in new york anytime during the run of eyesontheedge, that won't be happenin'. 

oh well. but. this is exactly what i go crazy for in a gallery setting. overwhelming mixed media installations that present a full environment that combines process, past, present, and future with material in raw and refined forms...so much.


aside from the mass of work here, i really appreciate the organization with it's blocks, frames, and screens.

i have to plan carefully to take in such exhibitions. if something is off with me, the experience will make my head hurt really bad.


i would really like to go to this.

jeff moerchen's zephyr project (Xerox)....

jeff moerchen is an exciting documentarian, a lover of life, and a great friend and collaborator. jeff's photos are also totally taser factory, and are step-ladder of motivation for my own recent interest in trying to click good and print.

he recently did a xerox installation of his Zephyr collection on this corner in greenwich village. 

to view very good work, go here:
