¡¿Que Barrio?!

"¡¿Que Barrio?!" is an upcoming bi-national exhibition that I'm participating in. It's being held in two venues, Johnny Cab in El Centro and Mexicali Rose in Mexicali, with each artist contributing one piece of work for each gallery. A very large and diverse group of artists is involved so it promises to be an awesome show. It opens April 30th in El Centro and May 7th in Mexicali.

A Book About Death

A Book About Death is an exhibition of mail art by hundreds of different artists. It originated in New York last year, where each of the 500 participants received a copy of the other 499 artists' contributions. Thus all 500 artists not only collected the show's entire catalogue but are now able to restage A Book About Death at new places and with additions from new artists.

With Sheila Dollente and Bibiana Padilla Maltos bringing the exhibition to SDSU-Calexico's Steppling Gallery this week, I've had the chance to add my own work to the show and am very excited to be involved in it. It opens on Wednesday, March 10 at 6:30 p.m.

Exhibition at Mexicali Rose

January 29th will see the opening of an exhibition in Mexicali that I've been invited to participate in. Everyone involved is doing great stuff. I'm currently hard at work on the pieces I will be contributing; by the end of the week I'll be posting some images of them and hopefully some documentation of their construction.
