Lynn Badia and I would like to invite you to the culminating exhibition for our Cultural Extraction: Energy in the Humanities course, taking place in the Robert W. Hoffert Learning Center at the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art. The opening reception for this exhibition will be on Thursday, December 13th from 5-7pm. Feel free to read more about the course here. We hope to see you at the opening!
I am so excited to announce that Arts Programming for the Anthropocene: Art in Community and Environment is available now from Routledge Press! I have worked on this book project for the past few years as a contributing author and as the books illustrator. The book charts the paths of five field-based arts programs in the U.S., Europe and Australia, making a case for a shift in current arts education pedagogy to a more community-based and environmentally-focused model.
Excited to be in Day 3 of a residency at the Lynden Sculpture Garden in Milwaukee! Thanks to Joseph Mougel and Cynthia Brinich-Langlois (and baby Yvette!) for arranging it for us!
Water keeps leaking into my brain (pun intended). The work I create here over the next couple of years (I’ll be traveling back and forth) will most likely be consumed by it.
Come and see Chasm of Bingham in the Made In Colorado exhibition at UC Denver’s Emmanuel Gallery. The show was curated by Olga Viso (Former director of Walker Art Center and The Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum ) and Cameron Keith Gainer (Publisher of The Third Rail and visual artist). Opening – next Thursday, June 7 from 6-9.
Very excited to team-teach a course with Lynn Badia on the intersection of energy and culture. Thanks to the College of Liberal Arts for starting this team teaching initiative and for letting us have the first run at it! If you know of any CSU students who might be interested, please pass on the info, registration for the fall is happening now!
Please take a minute to read my studio newsletter for 2017. It was a busy year!
Jennifer Clary Jacobs wrote this wonderful article about my Art and Environment class, the David Brooks exhibition I curated and two of my favorite grads – Emily Sullivan and Kyle Singer – who collaborated on the project.

As I was going through flat files trying to make room for some new drawings, I ran across these old Donkey Journals. The Donkey Gallery marks the heyday of art in Albuquerque, at least for me. In an old shop in Barelas, David Leigh, Larry Bob Phillips and Sherlock Terry started something that was magical for its run. Thanks to the innovative art, community building and best openings ever!
