These are slides from an interactive infographic I designed for a company that specializes in "retirement solutions." 

They picked something else.

Francesca Eros

At the turn of the twentieth century Marcel Duchamp said "I point and it is art." In his doodling on a postcard of the most famous European painting to date, The Mona Lisa, Duchamp turned this adored portrait into an androgynous girl-with a mustache and stated L.H.OO.Q- "She has a nice ass."

Man Ray and Duchamp collaborated in a portrait series were Duchamp turned himself into a his female alter-ego Rrose Selavy, (Eros c'est la vie).

In a post-post-modern society, or a sort of "post-truth society" we see this kind of social schizophrenia happen all the time. Take a glance at anyone's facebook page and you will see a "real" person's alter-ego online. In collaboration with wardrobe and make-up from the New Paltz theatre department, and photographer Nick Alciati, I have also created for myself a female alter-ego...Francesca Eros.

She premiers on October third in the Rotunda of the New Paltz Fine Arts Building in a series of large scale digital and silkscreen prints. It's a bit more drag than Duchamp but I'm okay with sexual ambiguity. Please spread the word on this collaborative project and event and friend her on facebook.

FRANCESCA EROS

Rotunda

Here's a link to my friend Joe reading some stream of consciousness that he painted on bent sheet metal to an improvisation of bass keyboard and drums. ridiculous? Yes. Listen to this with the woofer on high. We're working on the third installment of this type of video with Man Ray projections.

If you'd like to see more of Joe's work you can check out his youtube channel. I personally love this video that I have nothing to do with.

This video was on display at a show that I was also showing in at the Shirt Factory in kingston. It was the only time I've ever shown sculpture outside of school and probably my favorite show to date. I couldn't stop laughing at this video.

Ray

Some friends and I have created a twitter account for our buddy Ray. He has not posted to the twitter and in fact he is not allowed. The account is a place for us to post somewhat demeaning nicknames for him. I think that it's funny even if you have never met Ray or have no idea who Ray is. The potential for internet meme is there- i think.
