USA Tour 2008

Today is my last day of rehabilitation of my knee. After 3 weeks of 5 hour a day training, I may finally be done! Sorry if I haven’t been answering emails or responding to comments, I had my knee to take care of.

More importantly, I am currently planning my 2 month (August/September) USA tour, where I will take both new and old works to the public in various venues. Currently I have dates in the works for the Buffalo and several locations in Florida and am looking to fill out my dance card. Any tips or requests; please let me know, I would be happy to fill you in!

Sickness and the results

1. Upgrades to the Bolex.
2. Sewing circles.
3. Coughing fits.
4. Great Unachievable sounding plans.
5. Googling.
6. Neverending Skype conversations.
7. Books on Forgetting.
8. Movies and love stories

March 20th, 8PM at Kay Salon

Not only has Kay given me the best haircut I’ve gotten in my entire life, but in his beautiful salon, he organizes a many events including art, music and food. I was extremely flattered that he asked me to participate in the Loft Spectacle III.

For 7 Euros you can enjoy a great atmosphere, great music, amazing food and some nice visual stimulation. My contribution to this show is a selection of films looped including; Escape, May Day Silent Noise, Self Study Course, Suburban Lanscape #1, Un Viaje (the yet forever unfinished film!), Character Study 1, Streetwallker and Creation Death Memory.

Probably will get in trouble for posting this...

but the MFA Public Art and New Artistic Strategies at the Bauhaus University really blows, for lack of a better word. I have never been exposed to such a lack of professionalism in my entire life and if not for the other students, I would’ve dropped out well into my first semester.

I’ve noticed that people who surf to this page often come via the MFAs website; so I thought I’d give you a warning. Don’t be fooled! Because of an incompetent employee, I’m really considering throwing in the towel and starting somewhere new; credits be damned. And because she is the only regular point of contact, as the head professor is about as interested in us as I am for a ball of lint, she is completely unavoidable.

I rarely rant via the World Wide Web, and this could possibly have bad repercussions, but I no longer care.

Some would argue that this is due to a lack of care in the german education system, but as I have learned in my 6 semester experience in Berlin, this have everything to due with bad hiring.

Extraordinary Machine

Der Freund und der Fremde | 10 minutes of fame, ein Diaabend. Part II
Die lang ersehnte Fortsetzung des erfolgreichen Diaabends “Der Freund und der Fremde” vom Oktober 2007! Noch längst nicht sind alle anonymen Diapositive aus dem Archiv der FOTOTHEK, dem Fachgeschäft für vergessene Privatfotografien, gesichtet worden. Noch mehr Bilder und neue kreative Fotoristen werden das erregte Publikum wieder mit einem improvisierten Diaabend überraschen. Neun geladene Gäste stellen sich erneut dem Fremden. Es wird ein Spiel auf Zeit: In maximal 10 Minuten sollen den willkürlich zusammengestellten Diaserien Leben eingehaucht werden. Spontaneität und Improvisation sind gefragt – der Unterhaltungswert ist gesichert. Von der schönen fremden Bilderwelt herausfordern lassen sich diesmal Diana Arce, Walter Bergmoser, Philipp Heine, Frank Hiddemann, Christine Hill, Ronald Hirte, Olaf Nenninger, Bernhard Post, Micky Remann.
Die Damen Anke Heelemann und Alexandra Janizewski werden Sie charmant durch diesen Abend führen.
Eine Kooperation der ACC Galerie mit der FOTOTHEK, dem Fachgeschäft für vergessene Privatfotografien.
