Hello Everyone!
The past few months I have been curating an exhibition at the Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art (PhilaMOCA). The show, a tribute to the late comic genius, is called, simply enough, I Love Mitch Hedberg. It has been been a lot of fun work, and I am anxiously awaiting opening night-- Sat, October 1, 7:30pm-- a night that promises to be full of great art, comedy, reverence and homeade beer. For those of you in the Philadelphia area, I invite you to join us--it's going to be a riot!
Along with the Hedberg show, the arts/music/poetry collective started by myself and my friends, the Fuhrl, is really taking off. We had our fourth showcase in August and the turnout absolutely blew us away. It took place at the Bookspace on Frankford Ave, which has become the new home of Kerdieekrdaad's thesis piece--it creates a wonderful backdrop to the bands and dancers that fill the space each night!
It's no longer as much a space as a tapestry now, but at least it isn't rolled up in my basement. Our kind hosts lets us play with the lights (it's lit from behind!...pictures and video to come) and we found that the big warehouse is a perfect home for it...it can really breathe and to see it behind the wonderful performances at The Fuhrl's Midsummer showcase (thank you to the Band With No Name, Kickin' Bear, Your Sister's Canary and The West Philly Orchestra) made it feel more alive somehow. If you want to swing by and take a look (also check out the hanging installation of wire and buttons by Maximiliana Eisenmann) The Bookspace is open most days between 12 and 5.

Well, that's all for now! When my camera starts working again I can start posting all the work I've been doing! Wouldn't that be nice?
