*I donated a photograph to the Art Helps Auction to benefit Food & Friends. I donated last year as well and went to the reception- It’s definitely an event you don’t want to miss. Check it all out on Wednesday, December 7th from 5-10 pm (cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served & admission is free). The reception is held at JAM Communications (1638 R Street, NW WDC). For more info, www.arthelps.org
*Photographs from the WDC: 8 x 10 series will be up from December 2nd through December 31st at the Center for The Arts at St. Mark’s School in Southborough, MA. This is the second part of my solo show, as currently, photographs from Hiroshima are hanging there. For more on the WDC series, check out the review on Thinking About Art
*The Hiroshima photographs move to the Gallery @ Porter Exchange at Lesley University for a solo show titled From Hiroshima. The show will hang from December 3rd – January 22nd and Lesley is located at 1815 Mass. Ave in Cambridge, MA. A portion of the proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to the American Friends Service Committee. For more info on AFSC, www.afsc.org

Corrective Spectacles is not a “short film” screening. We are not interested in imposing discrete boundaries onto our thoughts. For approximately one hour, the audience will be exposed to a barrage of sound and image experiments, presented in succession and intended to resonate as a grandiose composition. These video works will be linked, in both direct and scenic-route connections, by their fixation on the Spectacle. It is here, in the spaces that impress us and press themselves upon us, that we have set to work. We have dissected established spectacles and sculpted new spectacles where they did not previously exist. These spectacular corrections span the real and metaphorical world: literal corrections to lands and bodies (development and physical therapy) are sites of curiosity, along with psychosocial and metaphorical corrections (language and intuition).
Our tone is manifold. We are skeptical and motivational. Instructional and destructive. Mostly, we are simply attempting to be aware. We hope this introductory statement helps you decide how best to spend your Thursday evening.
