disLocation Tampa

disLocation Tampa was a collaborative exhibit with Justin Martin in February of 2010 at the William and Nancy Oliver Gallery in Tampa, Florida. At the center of the exhibition are 1600 photographs, all pulled from the photosharing site Flickr, all triggered from the keyword Tampa. Each photograph, printed at the common four by six inch size are placed on the wall in stacks. The viewer is invited to remove, replace and reorganize the photos creating new compositions. At the same time, video projections of YouTube videos and current Twitter feeds around the central theme of Tampa are being displayed on the walls. A blank map of Hillsborough County Florida was also on display, viewers were invited to mark on the map in any way they felt necessary in order to respond to the exhibition.

A Twitter Feed and Tumblr Blog were set up for the exhibition as well. [February 2010]

Send me something you made…

So on December 16th I posted on twitter “Do you want to send me something you have made? I would like it.. and I will send you a grab bag of things I have made in return…” – well, I’ve started to receive things from people.

Pretty awesome that people are willing to send me stuff.. hopefully they won’t be upset when they realize they are getting artwork from me..

First package I got was from Anna Janosik. Anna sent me a mask, a homemade box and a card with a print of a painting she did. I came in contact with Anna through the world of Twitter.. make sure to check out her work.

Second package I got was from Brandt Hardin. Brandt sent a sweet framed drawing of his. Brandt’s one of the hardest working artist I know from back home, you should check out his website and support him.

Third package I got was from Kelly Poole. Kelly sent me sweet homemade domestic goods. She sent a duster, a pot/pan scrubbie, a veggie scrubbie, and some sweet coasters with cats on them. Shelley got mad that she couldn’t start using everything right away because I had to photograph them…

I’ll be sending out grab bag packages to all my friends who’ve sent me stuff so far after Shelley and I get back from her birthday mini-vacation to Disneyworld.. staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge! If anyone else wants to be send me stuff let me know.. I’ll trade you addresses.
