FEAST ON THE LIVING

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Thanks to everyone who came out to FEAST at Traffic Zone Art Center for Visual Art Saturday evening; our collective won a grant for several hundred dollars that will fuel the project Public Consumption in the next few months.

Thanks also to people who attended Late Nite at Pillsbury House Theater the same night.   My collaboration with Pramila Vasudevan of Aniccha Arts manifested in a multimedia/dance project titled Words to Dead Lips. A hell of a lot of work in a short amount of time was poured into building this surreal, post-war trauma narrative. The performance was received very well, and the groundwork is being laid for an expansion and re-imagining of the project into a full length project in 2010.

This upcoming weekend for the Holiday Art Sale at Carleton Place Lofts in St Paul.  The show will feature Thea Peltier, Angel Teske, Erik Pearson, Pat Garrahy, Natasha Poppe, Joshua M Murray, and Matt Wells.  I will have prints and original paintings there, and some new work; perfect for subversive gift-giving, and confusing the relatives.

Cheers,
Matt
