Dead Awake Sept 16, 2009

A photo tour deforce using a George Bush mask.

I print Brad's Halloween and Christmas cards.

I attended this lecture and asked Tyson to answer questions that I created. I then combined that with a Dawkins exam.

Photoed and video taped Terry Sallis for The Brennan Center for Justice talking about his first vote since prison.

A video that I got into N film festivals. I used a terrible consumer camera with on camera mic. Yikes. It sucked.

The thirteen-part film installation Manifesto, produced by Berlin-based film and video artist Julian Rosefeldt, is an homage to the explosive poetic power of key artist manifestos from the last hundred years. Australian actor Cate Blanchett plays thirteen different characters who navigate everyday situations. Here are my photos and some of the manifesto text. You can watch each video at https://www.julianrosefeldt.com/film-and-video-works/manifesto-_2014-2015/

I worked for several weeks in the art department on this small film that was mostly film in Newton, IA, at dirty unused Maytag factory. I was the Swing Gang and worked closely with Lead Man, Chad Branham. Producer/Writer Harel Goldstein was sentenced to jail for four years May 2010. I secured all of the lab monitors from friend. We made the pile of bones from plastic tubing, styrofoam balls and plaster. The axe was made of styrofoam. Watch entire move free at https://youtu.be/pdNQKrhWOFI?si=ehpCduQ5Qz94uQM7

A St. Louis radio station ran a "Pop Art for Pop Mart" contest for U2 tickets. I submitted several items in a see through poster holder. I won tickets and took my then girlfriend to the show. I threw away all of the art entries. I recreated two of the submissions at the bottom of the page. One was a drawing of Max Beckman's woodcut portrait. Maybe I thought they would think it was Bono. I also created a monkey to man thing from U2's own designers. Take a look at the videos of the show from Mexico. The opening is similar to a prize fighter entering the ring.
