Performing a deinstallation



After what amounted to a languid eight month run in the Seattle Storefronts program, Pollinatrix was deinstalled on November 1. A street performance ensued, in which elements of the piece were given away to passersby, who in turn indicated they would photograph the work where it landed after they took it away. These images will be chronicled in the Pollinatrix blog, here. Anyone interested in participating in further dissemination of this project should contact me at thepollinatrix(at)gmail(dot)com.

Special thanks to photographer Tom Schworer for the images in this posting, and to Doug Nufer for riding his bike over in order to be the first in line.

Pollinatrix: Seattle Storefronts





I'm pleased to announce an installation entitled Pollinatrix, featured as part of the 2011 Seattle Storefronts program, designed to activate vacant storefronts with art and creative ventures.  From March 15 through June 15, the piece can be viewed at all hours of the day or night in the windows of 409 Maynard Avenue South in the International District. 

Over the course of the three-month stretch, I will be maintaining a blog about Pollinatrix to document the work and announce time-based engagements with the space.  Look here for upcoming acts as they unfold.
