Coming off of a great summer I wanted to share my general excitement that I wrapped up Moving Units, an exciting event series at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, and my first full year directing the Social & Studio Practices department at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia where we hosted a ton of artists this summer and you can check out some videos from our inaugural In/Out symposium here. The event was focused on the theme of Time, Pacing and Perspective in Socially-Engaged Art and seemed to really strike a chord with the audience and speakers alike – which makes me think that time is really something worth exploring further.
Related to that theme, I recently finished making my first feature-length video essay entitled Future Perfect: Time Capsules in Reagan Country and I am posting here to share a few upcoming screenings and also to plug a few events I am either participating in or hosting at Moore. Details and links below:
