\"sirens'<\/a>Haydn<\/a> and I gave very brief talks to the the Contemporary Irish Art Society<\/a> last night, about my recent print work<\/a> for Art on Paper Gallery<\/a> (South Africa) and Haydn Shaughnessy Gallery<\/a> (Ireland and in Second Life<\/a>). It was really fun to be with an audience who knew nothing of the technologies I normally use (they were so curious and interested when I showed them one of my interactive installations, stuttering<\/a>, for example), but who could completely appreciate the trajectory coming from that work, and leading into my performative printmaking process. The most buzz from them came out of the art historical referential pieces, such as nude descension<\/a> and nude descension II<\/a>, or Joburg Boogie Woogie<\/a> and Joburg’s Ghost<\/a>, as well as the locally made works. The Society<\/a> itself wound up buying sirens’ dillisk<\/a> (shown right, and a detail is in the header of this blog), a piece produced in West Cork in the middle of last year. They often purchase Irish works that are later donated to museums, galleries, hospitals and other official bodies, so I’m curious to see where it winds up.<\/p>\n

Tangentially, today is my blog’s 5th birthday. It’s gone through many refigurings, so I appreciate any and all who have been “with” me for any length of time, as well as newcomers to my work and occasional rants. This means MTAA<\/a> also had a recent blog birthday – Tim, here’s your yearly reminder<\/a>.<\/p>\n
