| 07/29/04 07/23/04 The New York Times reports on Participatory Democracy: A
Farce and a Crapshoot The show is set up as a carnivalesque polling station. Candidates on the ballot include Two-Headed Ed, who sees both sides of any argument; "The Contortionist," who can wrap himself around any issue; and "The Great Incumbo." Visitors cast votes by dart-throwing and ball-tossing, under the supervision of the artists who collaborated on the show, among them Ravi Jain, Natalie Loveless, Jeff Warmouth, Andrew M. K. Warren and Douglas R. Weathersby. Whatever the voting method, the Great Incumbo, represented by the image of a huge grasping hand, is overwhelmingly favored. 07/16/04 The Boston Phoenix's Christopher Millis wrote on Participatory Democracy, calling it "great fun". 07/15/04 My entry into the Stockstock Film Festival, "The Spaces in Between", was selected and will be screened in Seattle on August 1. If only that atmosphere skimming plane I dream about actually existed to jet me there in 90 minutes... 07/15/04 WBUR's Morning Edition did a report on Participatory Democracy last week. Mmmm.... 06/26/04 Transportation Pioneers triumph once again! Last night, I rode the final elevated Green Line train from Lechmere, through the old elevated North Station, to Haymarket. While Stefan, my usual compatriot, could not join me, a whole fleet of enthusiasts were there! I'm thinking of starting "TEAM TRANSPORTATION PIONEER" -- kind of like Thunderbirds or something. The Globe's piece manages to include Stefan's soundbites even though he wasn't there... 05/15/04 Today's Boston Herald features the Participatory Democracy show, calling it a "zany art exhibit". And that is NOT a quote from me! 05/03/04
Participatory Democracy, a group show with fellow artists Natalie Loveless, Jeff Warmouth, Andrew Warren and Douglas Weathersby, opens this Friday, May 7 at the Art Interactive Gallery in Cambridge! Come to the festive opening on Friday night. 03/05/04 I'm revamping the back-end of this site with a sage's help so that updates and expansions can be handled more dynamically. I'm learning the joys of BBEdit in the process. The Gallery at Green Street is having a "Resurrected From the Dead" screening of Cyberlounge -- my entry into the first 72 Hour Feature Project -- this Saturday evening, March 6th, at 7 pm. Check out the updated Cyberlounge micro-site!
