Limited Edition Poster for Ballroom Marfa

"The blood of a Poet"

http://ballroommarfa.org/archive/event/the-blood-of-a-poet-with-eluvium/#event-media

Back in January I made posters for Ballroom Marfa's screening of "The Blood of a Poet" with live score by Eluvium. This limited edition of 30 is made out of pigmented cast cotton and abaca paper with calligraphy. The cast frame is made to mimic a mirror, like the one the poet passes through in the film, while the calligraphy font is similar to those used in silent films.

I spent the month of January in Houston assisting Mary Temple with her large installation at Rice University's Gallery (pictured on bottom). I first met Mary when I was working at Dieu Donné. She was the first Workspace Residency Artist I had the pleasure of working with. The image pictured on top is a large blow-out piece created in collaboration with Rachel Gladfelter at the former Dieu Donné studio space on Broome Street. It was great working with her again. The show has been extended until the end of August. Go check it out if you are in the neighborhood.
