Tarble Art Center Installation

dh

I spent several days this week down at Eastern Illinois University installing my show at the Tarble Art Center. The installation went very well with the help of my Dad, Amy, Erica, Michael, Michael, Andy, Jess and Gabe. There were no major problems hanging the work, many of which had never been fully assembled or installed before.

Average running mileage determines the shapes of the moving panels in Range. The eight panels depict the 30-day rolling average of all miles run for the years 2002 – 2009. On a few panels, the averages fall to zero while I am away on extended cycling journeys.

Columbia College Chicago A + D Gallery Install

Last Friday we went up to Chicago to install Fort Peck in a group show called Data Mining. The show is at the Averill and Bernard Leviton A + D Gallery Columbia College Chicago curated by Bill Linehan and Terence Hannum. Jennifer and Megan at the gallery provided me with loads of help so the job was finished in about 6 hours. The piece looks great in the front window but I didn't get very good pictures.
