"Battle of the Sexes," Clayman Institute for Gender Research, Stanford University, Stanford, CA























Currently making drawings, prints and masks (take one!) for the show at the Clayman. The drawings are imagined sports posters of Billie Jean King in her prime. Conceptual historical intervention. Masks are Bobby Riggs on one side and BJK on the other, classic girls vs. boys circa 1973. BJK achieves Wheaties box fame, and cancels out Reagan America Cold War heroine Mary Lou Retton in the process. More soon.

"De-Tranquilizers," 925 Penn Ave., June 5-14, 2009



























The Three Rivers Arts Festival finally paired smart people with pristine (see partially torn-up carpet and industrial adhesive on floor) empty spaces. The result is "De-Tranquilizers," curated by Eric C. Shiner, Milton Fine Curator at The Warhol.

Eric C. Shiner, the Milton Fine Curator of Art at The Andy Warhol Museum, curates the work of Cara Erskine, Fabrizio Gerbino, Gregory Witt, and James Wodarek in two vacant commercial spaces on Penn Avenue downtown. Featuring paintings, sculpture, illustration and video, the show brings together a diverse grouping of works that undermine notions of tranquility.
