Projects

The Los Angeles Project, 2006 – Ongoing

Established in 2006, The Los Angeles Project (brought to you by The Imaginative Action Regime and Stacy Elaine) focuses on creative adventures in thinking and living in the nuclear age. Experiments include a translation series— where writers mail handwritten letters and art pieces are built, based on content and each writer’s cursive style.

Project Journalism Revisited, gallery revisited, Los Angeles, CA, 2008

An art project in the form of writing, Project Journalism Revisited conceptually takes on the guise of reviews, and considers editorial relevance to galleries and artists in the context of art media.
