Recently I’ve been asked to lecture about my work at the Pacific Northwest College of Art as part of their pre-college program.

Civilian Art Projects is pleased to present Exquisite Corpse – a collaborative photo project curated by Corcoran Photography alums Jessica Cebra, Dave Gustine, and Marissa Long.

Portland State University MFA group exhibition at Disjecta, 8371 N Interstate Avenue, Portland, OR, June 5-July 3, 2010. Opening reception on Saturday, June 5, 2010, 6-9 p.m.

In addition to screening the completed shorts from this ongoing project, audience participation will help fill out the evening with additional readings from the original stories and the adapted screenplays. (There will be conference inspired prizes as well–based on the “Making Things, Making Things Better, Making Things Worse” theme of the conference.)

I will be giving a lecture about my work at Portland State University’s Shattuck Hall Annex (corner of SW Broadway and Hall on the PSU campus) on May 12th from 12-1 p.m. This is part of the spring PSU MFA Candidacy Lectures series and is in conjunction with my MFA graduate exhibition STORIES!!!! on view in The New Video Gallery, PSU Art Building, 2000 SW 5th Avenue. A closing reception for the exhibition is to follow later in the day from 6-8 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.

I have been invited to be a part of an upcoming exhibition at Apexart titled “The Incidental Person.” Curated by Antony Hudek, the show runs from January 6 to February 20, 2010.
