First friday +

Last night was not only Good Friday, but first Friday as well for art enthusiasts here in Indy.  I made it to 3 different locations along with Autumn to keep me company.  I was disappointed in the fact that no one was working in a similar manner to me, but needless to say there were a few interesting exhibitions and I got to talk to some old friends. 
Perhaps the best news is that the manager of the Wheeler Arts Center will allow me to install my piece there for documentation.  I did point out that I wanted to do it after the first Friday of May, when the Art school seniors usually want to put on their thesis shows.  No charge for the space!  She has been trying to get some quality in there, and it runs in waves as to when they will have a packed building.
Okay, a new twist kind of hit me like a ton of bricks....pardon the pun, but as I work and think about all of the connections that I am making with my installation....the one that I hadn't connected the dot with is the back and forth rhetoric between male and female components, or the odd relationship I inadvertently created.  The TV is made of simulated bricks in a standard format which is stereotypically a male dominated trade, and opposing that is the couch which is created out of weaving pizza boxes....an old fashioned home craft relating to the female skill set.  Somehow I may have also touched on part of my own issue....without meaning to interject such a personal threat of how a man in his self is overbearing and power ridden to control.......much as a TV in a ritualistic daily life.
Maybe....I am that small couch waiting to be crushed.

ok...... too much thought....photos!
