01 Dec Time lapse video
I just took this fun time lapse video of the early stages of cutting down a F-94 aircraft tank for my latest project. If only these things went as fast as it looks in the video!
11 Nov Photos from Re:New
On October 25th the exhibition “Re:New” (Curated by myself and Jeff Hantman) opened at Lost & Foundry Gallery. The show featured works produced by former Artists in Residence at Recology after they had completed their residencies.
I’ve uploaded a slideshow of the event here: Re:New at Lost & Foundry, October 2014
09 Nov Re:New show featured on Virgin Atlantic blog
Here is a nice write up about Oakland’s burgeoning art scene. My gallery Lost & Foundry gets a mention:
05 Nov By Car, By Plane, By Boat, By Train…
If you’re in the vicinity of Ephraim Utah, I’ll have a piece in this show, opening Friday November 14th.
Here’s details:
“Modern man has always been fascinated by mechanized modes of transportation. From the invention of the wheel to the first space flight, the compulsion to travel further, higher, faster, deeper has resulted in a multitude of mechanized vehicles and vessels. This exhibition explores the obsession to motate, and showcases assemblage contraptions which reinterpret modes of transportation on land, in the air, and at sea. The exhibition includes both unique visions of 2D collage and 3D assemblage work.”

09 Oct Animation armatures
I finally have a few more short screen tests of the tiny animation armatures I’ve been working on. These little guys have been incredibly challenging for a number of reasons, but its worth it to see them come alive on screen. Despite all the hours invested so far, I’ve still only spent a few of them actually behind the camera so there is still much to be learned about the actual art of animation. Up to this point I’ve been focusing on miniaturizing my process and learning how to produce reliable linkages between the parts that will allow for a nice range of motion. Up next is further study of the pacing and strategy required with the camera work to produce smooth, lifelike motion. As you can see in these clips, things are still pretty choppy.
04 Oct Group show at Lost & Foundry October 25th.
Hey Bay Area people. I’m curating a show with Jeff Hantman that features former Artists in Residence from the San Francisco Dump. I’ll have some of my new tiny pieces to share and I’ll have my studio open, as will several of the other awesome people in our compound.
Facebook event here.
See below for full details, tell a friend!
On October 25th, Oakland-based Lost & Foundry Studios and Gallery will present Re:New, an exhibit featuring work created by a selection of artists after they completed their residencies at Recology’s Artist in Residence program.
For nearly 25 years Recology’s Artist in Residence program at the San Francisco Dump has been providing artists with the facilities and support necessary to make art from the city’s waste stream. Over 100 artists have passed through the program making their own personal statements about art, waste, and reuse. Through the years Recology has amassed an impressive collection of these works, and has worked hard to exhibit them throughout the city at a variety of venues.
Lost & Foundry co-directors Nemo Gould and Jeff Hantman are both alums of Recology, and have felt the impact this program has had on their work. This exhibit will pool together several diverse artists who have been similarly impacted by their experience, and demonstrate Recology’s role in shaping art in the Bay Area.
The Re:New exhibit will open Saturday, October 25, 2014 from 5-8 PM at Lost & Foundry Studios and Gallery, located at 305 Center Street, Oakland CA (only half a block from West Oakland BART.)
Featured artists (year in residence):
–Ellen Babcock (2007)
–Micah Gibson (2007)
–Nemo Gould (2007)
–Barbara Holmes (2008)
–Ferris Plock (2011)
–Lauren DiCioccio (2011)
–Jeff Hantman (2012)
–Benjamin Cowden (2013)
–Yulia Pinkusevich (2013)
–Hannah Quinn (2013)
Lost & Foundry Studios and Gallery is a collective art space in West Oakland. Twelve artists and craftspeople currently work in the three building compound. In addition to the exhibit in the gallery, many of the workspaces of the tenants will be open for viewing during the event.
