It was the catalog for the "Out of the Frame" exhibition at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography. Here are a few snapshots of the catalog that I took at the U earlier this week:

Exhibition Images of "The Shape Of Things"

Two weeks ago was the opening reception for "The Shape of Things" at the Praxis Photos Arts Center. Praxis shared a link of images from the exhibition, and below are a few photographs from that:

There weren't many other "overall" views, but here's one that shows a bit of the space.


And here are a few photographs that I feel really work with the show's theme.

Here are a few pics from the opening reception from a few weeks ago, and here are all the images (and a video) of the exhibition shared by Praxis.

The Opening Reception for "The Shape of Things"

Earlier tonight, my boys and I went to the opening reception for "The Shape of Things:" an international juried exhibition at the Praxis Photo Arts Center. I have a piece in that exhibition that can be seen in the last 2 photos here:

The last time I was there, there was talk of developing this space as an
extended exhibition space, but this was the first I saw it used. Nicely done!

The exhibition is up through October 2nd if you want to see it for yourself.

One Week Down at the U!

My first classes in the University of Minnesota's "College of Design" went well this past week! I taught in the Art Department on the Minneapolis campus from 2005-2011, and now I have a class on the St. Paul campus. My classroom has a ton of whiteboard space and 21 (yes, I counted) whiteboard markers:

Happy to be back at the U! (Even if it might just be for a semester.)

New Teaching News!

I have an announcement:
