Chronicles

Thursday morning bright and early I will be headed to Minneapolis where upon arrival I will be giving a lecture at the Northern Clay center. I will stay through the weekend and attend the exhibition opening of, “Self Contained”, which I will have 7 new works included.

In between the Lecture and the opening, you will find me at the Walker Museum, The 5th Element, Muddy Waters, and wondering the streets of Minnesnowda (thank goodness its not the winter)

Heres all the info you need on the Northern Clay Center and the show:

More pictures and documentation to follow, upon my arrival back to NY.

Hello Everyone,

I am putting the final touches on my first solo show in NY.  It will be taking place at the Greenwich House Pottery’s Storefront Gallery.  On March 1st from 6-8pm.  I will be creating a small scale site specific installation; somewhere between altar, “tomb”,  street scene/urban landscape, place of worship or reflection, and sculpture.  I hope you can join me March 1st, if not i will post pictures.

I hope you are all well.

Best,

Derek

Hey Everyone,

So I attempted to give you a glimpse into Pow Wo 2012.  But my attempt pales in comparison to the real deal coverage that went down.  So if you want to see more and get a fuller sense of the week in Hawaii and Pow Wow 2012 check out these blogs:

Thank you to Jasper Wong, Kamea Hadar, Michael Inouye, Utopium Estates, Tiffany Tanaka, Christa Wittmier, Fresh Cafe, Loft in Space,  for making Pow Wow 2012 happen, and all the amazing artists and people I met and worked with in Hawaii to make Pow Wow an incredible week!

POW WOW IS A GATHERING OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS THAT ENGAGES WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS AND CREATION OF ART.

From February 13 to 18, 2012, Honolulu will host over thirty artists from around the world. Opening and closing events will be held at Loft in Space, with the production of art being done all over the streets of Kaka’ako. During Pow Wow, the community is encouraged to interact with visiting artists in a creative environment.
