Tom and I had the chance to head down to the CAC while they were setting up the new show “Spectacle” and lend a hand. The exhibit is all about the art of the music video so there were lots of monitors to get set-up, queued and ready to loop. While storms raged outside, we took [...]

His work is also up at the CAC and a detail from his installation appears above. I’m doing a disservice to the entire composition and scale of the piece, but you can get [...]
