My solo exhibition at the Jackson Junge Gallery “CUCKOO Im Not Crazy You Are” has officially opened! In this new show I took it upon myself to engage in a performance/ installation piece in which I lived and worked out of the gallery space for four days straight. The goal within this performance was to continue to produce work just as I do in the studio and invite viewers to come in and take a behind the scenes look at how I function as an artist. One of the main focuses during my time living and working at the gallery was a new work that I am calling “The Book of Knowledge”. This new piece acted as a pivotal tool in allowing me to engage with the viewers of the exhibition, I would ask anyone willing to participate if they had a word or phrase of wisdom that they would like to share with the world. As the performance progressed I would take the time to include each word or phrase given to me into “The Book of Knowledge” itself or the surrounding walls. This experience of extending my performance piece out to others proved to be a very collaborative and fruitful way for me to shine some amazing thoughts and very powerful words to the world through my work. I would like to thank anyone who was able to stop by and see me operating out of the CUCKOO nest during my time at the gallery. Your participation in helping me put together “The Book of Knowledge” has inspired me and left me feeling fulfilled as a creator. Additionally I would like to thank anyone who was able to make it out for the opening reception for the show, your support means the world to me and I cant thank you enough for spending your night with me at the nest. If you were unable to make it to the exhibition opening week don’t worry! “CUCKOO Im Not Crazy You Are” will be open from now through September 21st. So be sure to stop by before it’s to late!
