a study for staircase no. 111012

who: kenya (robinson) and jerome marshak

what: 
(in the artists' words) we are mounting a one-night intervention at a famous cultural institution. by using elements of the actual space (staircase) and a curious collection of materials (metronomes, laser pointers, vinyl decals, and people) we will create a choreography of unlikely interactions that speak to the accessibility of fine art, race and expectation.

tis the season for...screenings!

this fall has been really special in that a few projects i've worked on saw the light of day at a screening. such a rewarding feeling to see the culmination of your work on a screen and shown in front of an audience. the feedback is spontaneous, honest, and immediate. and...it can give an artist that extra little push that is sometimes needed to keep going.
