SOUTH WATERFRONT
PORTLAND OREGON

…had to be in Eugene for a few days, I was crowned the Director of Digital Arts, a new addition to my title here at UO.  I am following a great artist and director, Colin Ives.  He is really responsible for getting our whole Portland White Stag program off the ground.  If you saw any of my students speak at the swf studio, he can take the credit for having helped launched their thesis research back in september.  I understand Colin Ives to be the next artist-in residence at the swf starting in the fall.  Residents can look forward to a depth of insight concerning the environment, combined with high technology, during his stay at the John Ross.  As for me, I get back the John Ross friday and I will be in the home stretch of my installation.  3-4 long days.  I swing back home early next week to go to my kid’s end of school picnic, and then return from the opening-closing-unveiling-release-launch by thurs eveing at 6pm.  I believe Jeremy will be manning the grill serving up hot dogs, a perfect compliment to my work.  In attendance that night will be our UO art department’s friends and collaborators from the ShanDong University of Art and Design.  These are faculty from China with whom we had a fruitful and fascinating relationship with over the past few years.  Help us greet them to the USA, help me by checking out the show, and help Jeremy by eating hot dogs.
