I was tagged by my dear friend and collaborator j/j hastainto participate in the ongoing blog interview project, "The Next Big Thing." For this project, I am to respond on my blog to the same questions j/j used, then tag five others to do the same on their blogs--or to guest blog here-- each of whom then tag five others themselves. Here, the questions refer to one of my forthcoming books. And I will add names and links to the blogs of the authors I "tag" right here, as they agree to participate: |
publications, process notes, art practice: issues and challenges, experiments, poetics, poetry, poetry market, press, nicholas alexander hayes, blogging, j/j hastain, The Next Big Thing project, Brooklyn Arts Press, Telephone, michelle naka pierce, christine mcnair

Last night I was very privileged to be able to participate in Miguel Gutierrez's performance/movement workshop, "Ineffable Intangible Sensational" at Defibrillator. It felt transformative in so many ways, and the psychic dust has yet to settle, so to speak. But one thing that I want to comment on immediately is an idea stemming from a conversation we had in a discussion period. I had asked Miguel if he saw teaching workshops as part of his own research process--and what I meant, basically, was whether that kind of teaching was important to his life as a maker of art. |

Come up (or down, or over) to Rogers Park's own Mess Hall this Friday for the Between Reading!
The Between Reading presents texts based on the creative reading of and response to Nicholas Alexander Hayes's first novel Between. The source text examines perception and identity in a decaying American town. True to the shifting planes of perception in the book, writers and poets were invited to respond to the work through whatever modes they preferred. Their responses have been compiled in the Between Compendium.

I've lately been adding some of my own Impossible Project™ instant photographs to the gallery area of the Impossible website. See them here--and check there often, as I am taking a lot of photos these days! |

 You know the feeling.
You set up a shot with your instant camera, loaded with Impossible Project™ film. You've taken every precaution against light contamination in the first few seconds after the shot exits the camera (perhaps purchasing an accessory to aid your efforts in image-shielding). But for whatever reason--you're in a hurry, you're distracted--you later discover that you've accidentally blown out your carefully-composed photograph. It hurts. It stings. |

Ever since I got my Polaroid Spectra, I've been experimenting diligently with various "guerrilla" techniques for making and altering instant photos. One of those techniques, the double exposure, is particularly wonderful for adventurous people who want to make equally adventurous images. The exciting truth is that these methods allow you to set up a double-exposure--combining subjects and textures and lighting conditions using your imagination & experience--without completely controlling the results! |

It's been a long time since I posted about what's happening in the studio. I've lost interest somewhat in traditional oil painting, though I'm confident there will come a time when the paint imperative takes hold once more. I've got a stash of new canvases on standby, for when I catch the flash of motivation for the painting project I'm toying with in my head.
Instead of painting, lately I've returned to photography (the discipline I've pursued for as many years as I've devoted to poetry). |
