"Day Job" Opens Tonight at Atlanta Contemporary Art Center

I have a piece in “Day Job”, curated by Nina Katchadourian and Stuart Horodner, which opens tonight at Atlanta Contemporary Art Center at 7pm. Good Food truck will be there!

Here’s the idea behind the show:

Day Job: Georgia brings together 15 artists whose various modes of employment have a clear link to the art that they produce. Selected from a statewide call for submissions that yielded hundreds of applicants, those chosen work in the food, architecture, gardening, sales, security, customer service, home improvement, and childcare industries.

I made my piece while driving (while seated) to my day job, over the course of a month or so, while stuck-in (and/or slowly moving through) Atlanta’s irreducible traffic.

Article about “So Help Me” in the Atlanta Journal Constitution

I was in DC when this article about a photograph from So Help Me hit the newsracks this weekend. It’s always interesting to see how things look in print. This is the picture they chose to write about - a boy eyeing his barber’s Barack Obama pin, in August of ‘07.
