The lecture will take place from 5-6pm and will be followed by an opening reception and artist performance in the Redux galleries.

______________________________________

For the first exhibition of 2008, Redux Contemporary Art Center proudly welcomes Baltimore artist Dane Nester and collaborator Ben Crawford from Durham, North Carolina. Together they will present an interactive installation and performance that addresses issues of value and reuse in contemporary society. Nester is a recent graduate of the Yale University School of Art and currently lives and works in Baltimore Maryland.

In the past, Nester has ventured into the outside world to construct moveable and contained gardens, collect discarded materials and reclaim land that has been lost to urban ruin. Abandoned post-industrial sites that only contain traces of human presence are fertile grounds for Nester's mysterious experimentation and documentation.

For more information, please contact Redux Contemporary Art Center./136 St. Philip St. Charleston, SC 29403./ 843-722-0697./ reduxclasses@gmail.com

SEE YOU THERE!

Christmas lights for you-

2006-12-14T12:08:00.000-05:00

My friend Brad's photography final used a bunch of Christmas trees and lights. I thought it was beautiful...and wanted to share it. I hope you enjoy it.

This is my favorite:

i want to take a moment to encourage everyone to make presents for people this season. Homemade christmas presents are the best. I am knitting scarves and leg warmers for people this year. It has been quite an endeavor.

and also, try to use cinnamon in as much as possible. it's so delicious. why wouldn't you want to?

This is the beginning...of a blog that will cover as much music and other artistic reviews, ideas, discoveries or quandaries as I can find.
Some things you might want to know before this all begins:
1. Cephalopods and cnidarians are amazing creatures (in particular, squids and jellyfish).
2. being homeless is something everyone should try (even if it is just for a short time) at one point in their life.
3. creating art is something everyone is capable of doing...even you..

Things that interest me..or that I am involved with are:

s. the music industries-
(including but not limited to d-i-y, independent, underground, and college-related.)
q. improv comedy
u.printmaking
i. photography
d.pumpkin carving
s. knitting

I am looking forward to this project.
