In my current  extended painting practice, I wish the viewer to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153enter into the work\u00e2\u20ac\u009d  and find themselves occupying a different parallel space, narrative, and  time.\u00c2\u00a0 The spatial\/architectural constructions in three recent  installation projects deconstruct the cinema house into 1) a panoramic  painting rotunda, 2) a funhouse mirror maze, and 3) a miniature  architectural model of an apartment building in Warsaw.<\/p>\n<p>In the broadest sense, the crisis of  representation as seen in the history of painting provides me with a  dynamic conceptual meeting point between material, process, and  language. My recent installation work reconstructs or invents narratives  of distant geographic, and temporal moments, allowing a collision of  virtual \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpresent-moments\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in an installation space designed specifically  to stage these orchestrated time-collisions.\u00c2\u00a0I am currently working on a  series of paintings, collages, and architectural models, which explores  an intersection of image, film, painting, screen, and the history of  theater design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Remote Lecture Series <\/strong>is  a series of once a month lectures by people in different places across  the world who are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153beamed in\u00e2\u20ac\u009d live (via the internet) to speak to a  Johannesburg audience.
