Now Published in Rainy Day Activities Book

Cool news - I can now say I've been published in the UK!

The field guide from Three Mouth-Light Arrays to Counter Frightful Darkness, a collaborative piece I worked on with Phil McCollam, is being published in The Wild Pansy Press Book of Rainy Day Activities, and will be available for free at "Crunchtime2010"

The Wild Pansy Press has produced a publication in which a range of contributors make concrete suggestions for new cultural activities in a Post-Crunch society, with an emphasis on the practical, the cheap and the sustainable.  You can read more about this exciting project, and the artists involved at this link.

"Crunchtime2010" is a festival taking place in the City of York, UK, January 29th - February 6th, 2010.  Global issues and concerns are increasingly on the minds of everyone.  Using a variety of venues as galleries and the city's sites and streets for projects, "Crunchtime2010" offers a snapshot of artists’ responses to the issues of living in the early 21st century.  Read more at this link.

Three Mouth-Light Arrays to Counter Frightful Darkness

Check out my latest art project!
It is titled, "Three Mouth-Light Arrays to Counter Frightful Darkness."
It is a kit including an illustrated, glow-in-the-dark field guide and three mouth-lights.

The field guide illustrates how participants can complete three performances, or light arrays, which respond with playfulness to the fear normally associated with darkness. The images shown here document myself and some of my cohorts completing the performances. More images are available in this online album.

The experience is to be performed on a street corner or road-side. The three light arrays involve three performers with lights in their mouths, moving through choreographed formations detailed in this field guide. A fourth participant may act as a director and documentarian.

The piece is available online at my Etsy shop. Enjoy!
