So I am in Copenhagen working on an exhibition of new works on paper that opens this Friday, the 24th, at the AMAZING gallery/’zine shop/artists collective TTC.

Cherry Blossom Festival 2009
So those of you who live in Philadelphia might know about the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japanese Teahouse in Fairmount Park.
A few of us went there to check it out, and although my camera ran out of batteries in the first 10 minutes of getting there, it didn’t matter because the whole event can easily be summed up by this youtube video:
Next year I want to see you all there!

THE GREAT DEPRESSION by Bill Daniel *opening TONIGHT 4/03*
Filmmaker, photographer, and artist, Bill Daniel presents “The Great Depression”.
Culminated from over twenty-years of work and cross-country travels, “The Great Depression” is a mixed media gallery show that has evolved from the on-going Sunset Scavenger project. The gallery will be jammed with a mix of Bill’s photography – from murals to snapshots, a mash-up wall of found things + friends’ work, a video projected onto signal flags, and some stuff that he’s been dragging around from state to state, waiting for a place to stick it up.
ALSO on SATURDAY April 4th 7:00pm @ Space 1026
Join Bill for a special screening of his epic and beautiful documentary, “Who Is Bozo Texino?” The black and white film shot in 16mm and Super8mm over 16-years chronicles the search for the source of a ubiquitous and mythic rail graffiti– a simple sketch of a character with an infinity-shaped hat and the scrawled moniker, “Bozo Texino”– a drawing seen on railcars for over 80 years. Daniel’s gritty film uncovers a secret society and it’s underground universe of hobo and railworker graffiti, and includes interviews with legendary boxcar artists.
The night will also include musical performances by The Extraordinaires and Sweatheart.
