Evening Magazine 1980

"Way Bay, an innovatively organized exhibition of art, film, performance, poetry, and archival materials, is a sweeping exploration of the creative energies that have emerged from the San Francisco Bay Area over two hundred years. Featuring more than two hundred works by Bay Area artists and others whose work engages directly with the region’s geographic and cultural landscape, the exhibition highlights artists—especially women and artists of color—whose contributions have been under recognized."

I am represented via a TV promo aired in 1980. I have very short hair because of a performance I was part of at Inter DADA 80.

One component that interests me is the San Quentin Prison Studio Mail Art Exchange. Some mail artists I know are sending in work.

Exhibits and activities are held January 17–May 6, 2018

Artists Participate in Discovery Ride

Yesterday was an important milestone in art and in my own participation in NASA’s space program with the launch of the last manned shuttle Discovery heading to the Space Station. A reproduction of my work is included with a group of international artists aboard Space Mission STS-133 which departed the NASA Kennedy Space Centre at 4:50 pm EST.

A recent project was created by Gary A. Bibb, in collaboration with Cecil Touchon.  Fluxface in Space documents the entries by 127 artists from 26 nations to NASA’s public program whereas you could submit a photo and your name to be added to a microchip going along for the ride to the Space Station.

This wasn't my first participation with art in space but one of many "performances" on the theme - go to June 2010 entries in this blog to see more about past activities. 

Last September I arranged for a group of Fluxus artists to visit Kennedy Space Center, performing throughout the day. See the blog Inter-Florida FLUXUS Tour  for full documentation of the tour. During this tour we exhibited (and almost lost in weightlessness) a copy of the Fluxface in Space project.
