Hi folks. I'll be doing video improvisations as part the following event, which should be quite a shindig. I'll be going on at the Necco Court party when it gets dark enough to see my work, probably around 8:30, and will continue projecting for the duration .

Focused on expanding the visibility of this vibrant and vocal community, the Fort Point Cultural Coalition (FPCC) is continuing its ambitious public art series. This year's events commenced in April with the successful "Fort Point Vision for Public Art: A Multidisciplinary Charrette" hosted by Ricardo Barreto, Christina Lanzl and Jed Speare. The Art and Sol: A Summer Solstice Parade & Party will spill the spirit of that charrette out onto the sidewalks and into the channel. Public and performing artists will have a field day merrily making a creative splash on the water and streets of Fort Point. They will also regale the audience with a rollicking reception, a rolling bike parade, and a rockin', reelin' block party! The solstice public art lineup includes: *Bike Parade - a decorated bike parade, beginning and ending on the Summer St. Bridge [pre-solstice decoration opportunities: June 15th-16th,Sat.-Sun., 10:00 am-4:00 pm, at 205 A St., 2d floor] - organized by Melora Kuhn *Bridge Play - 100 sets of chimes hung along the Summer St. Bridge - by Claire Eder *Labyrinth - a bright blue tape labyrinth (a second one is located on the Children's Museum wharf) - by Margaret B.
