Brooklyn painter (and former VCU comrade) David Duncan has a show opening in LA:
The George Billis Gallery, L.A. is pleased to announce an exhibition of oil paintings by painter David Duncan. The work will be on view from May 10 - June 18, 2005, and a reception for the artist will beheld on Saturday, May 14, from 5 - 8 p.m.I saw one of Duncan's paintings last year in Richmond and it was really good. He's a thoughtful, patient and quietly fantastic artist and I wish I could see this show in person.
David Duncan's paintings depict scenic locations often known before experienced, and the activity which occurs when one visits these locales in person. Headlamps, English Breakfast Tea, Post-it Notes, and Halter Bikinis are integrated into scenes of American natural splendor, with results conflating the private and the commercial.

New York artist Tom Moody (of the great blog fame) will be part of a drawing/digital/performance in an old office space:
Tom Moody, "Office Reality: Channeling My Art Life from 1995-2000," performance work, 2005. Moody will keep "office hours" while the exhibition is open (Tues 9-5; Sun. 12-6 from May 10 to 31), and will sit and draw on an old computer. Portraits, abstract art, and tasteless cartoon imagery will be pinned up in his cubicle as he works. All will be drawn using MSPaintbrush (precursor to Microsoft Paint); Moody's attire will be "business casual."
He's part of "ART)@*!WORK", taking place in a 16th floor office suite at 8th Ave and 36th Street:
ART*!(%WORK, 520 Eighth Avenue Between 36th and 37th Street. Suite 1602; opening reception with live performance by Irene Moon May 10 2005 7-9 p.m; regular "office" hours: Tuesdays 9-5 and Sundays 12-6
May 2005, New York City—Ignivomous, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to nurturing and developing new genres, art forms and mediums presents ART!@*<>WORK, an art exhibition exploring the tension between the art of doing work and the work of doing art.
This show will take place in the cubicles of a midtown Manhattan office space. Fifteen artists will transform and exhibit projects inspired by the act of doing work and the spaces created for working. Visitors will be invited to explore and interact with the space during "office hours."
Moody's workspace reminds me of my days in a cubicle in a converted warehouse full of cubicles (like a forest of them) secretly making art. There should be a grant to set up a permanent office full of cubes for artists to make stuff while in business casual attire.
