2009-04-04T19:32:00.002-04:00

I had a second reception at my studio this past week as part of the Triumph Property Group's event at the Hello Living development in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Guests toured my studio as well as watched excepts from some of my videos at the Zebra Lounge's screening room located within the building. It was quite fun as i did not have to do host duties this time around and could enjoy the party.

On January 9 there was a lovely opening party for the show Seen/Unseen curated by Peg Curtin ( shown looking at my piece in the photo)It is a great non profit space in East Williamsburg. I showed four pieces. Two were new; a large scale Giclee videograph and a new single channel video. The video was shot in June 2000 in the Lobby of the World Trade Center during my residency there.
