FotoFest and MOPLA

Coming out of March which had truly roared in like a lion with an intense 10 days at FotoFest, the incredible Houston Biennial.

A reviewee. A visual enthusiast in heaven between the many exhibitions in Houston, my favorite visit always to the Menil Collection (and the Rothko Chapel, the Twombly and new for me, the Byzantine Chapel!), and of course the special opportunity to see the work of fellow reviewee's, from all over the world. Incredible inspiration. Tried to take it all in. And so I did, meeting some terrific new people who could be photographers, could be reiewers but who became professional acquaintances - Facebook anyone? - and hopefully in time, many will become good friends.

Good reviews. Much hard work ahead. Some announcements to come!

And then MOPLA where, within a week after FotoFest, two projects were up for exhibition... both projected, getting away from the print for a moment. The first through a trailer, 'Lucy," onto chance walls for the GroupSC 2009: AN INTIMATE VIEW OF LA. The second: A one-night projection of four artists, part of MOPLA's themed show 160/160 CELEBRATING 160 YEARS OF LOS ANGELES BY SHOWCASING 160 PHOTOGRAPHERS.

Great fun and a fresh new way for me to think about my work: a quick slide show, not always in my favorite order, but...

Some installation pics from the opening nights:
from GroupSC 2009 at the MOPLA opening, 3 April, at Bergamot Station (The Santa Monica Airport project).
from Pro'jekt LA: LA Sights + Scenes, Tuesday, 6 April at Space15Twenty in Hollywood. (The Gridlock Project).
