Dinosaur Church

This is what we call the "dinosaur church." The architecture of the building is amazing. Abby's husband is an architect and he too can't figure out how the original architect came up with the design. We agree that the guy must have been high on something. The arches that hold up the buildings create something that looks like concrete backbones and spine of a large dinosaur. You have got to stand in the church to see and feel what I mean. It is an awesome space and we are honored that Central UMC has allowed us to exhibit unFound in their space.

unOfficial photos of unFound opening

Go here to view more pictures of unFound's first official weekend. If you missed the opening, consider seeing unFound in Oakland and Berkeley:

On Oct. 3rd, unFound will make a one night appearance at Interplayce in Oakland, and from Oct. 12th to December 15th, the exhibit will hang in the Bade Museum at Pacific School of Religion.

unFound was found at Central UMC on Friday nite!

On Friday, we opened the unFound exhibit at Central UMC in Stockton. These are some photos that I took of the event. (My trusty digital camera which I had taken all the way to VN is broken so the clarity isn't very high and some of the photos were taken with the lens cap partially open. So while it may look like I did something neat with the photoshopping, it was b/c my camera lens isn't opening and shutting properly.)

unFound exhibition 2008

Some of you may already know that I've been working on a poetry/visual art installation for the past year or so. I'm pleased to announce that unFound will actually open this weekend, Friday, Sept. 5th, in Stockton, CA.

I'm excited that we actually get to do the "work" that we do -- it's easy (sometimes) to imagine and dream about artsy and poetic stuff. But to actually get the ideas out of our heads, off the ground (and the written page) and onto the walls, and to show it to the public, well, it's really incredible.

I have never primed and painted so many shoes in my life!

This Friday, I'll be heading to Stockton with agkk. The opening reception and reading will be on Friday at 7:30 p.m., and on Saturday, we'll have the workshops.

It will be a long road ahead, but I'm looking forward to it!

Check it out, folks. It really is legitimate!
