Oceans and Parks - Year 3 - updates and changes

Once again, I am curating and organizing a unique Fine Art exhibition in late June 2013 (sorry for the late notice) located in Brooklyn NY, US of A. I can not discuss any other details of the exhibition here. If you are interested in participating as a Fine Artist or experiencing this recurring mysterious project, please e-mail me (studio@benknight.net). As before I'd be excited and happy to share all information with you by that means.

Artcodex, Ghost Modernism in Quartair, Den Haag

Last month I was in the second version of the Artcodex Ghost Modernism show in The Hague, Netherlands at Quartair Gallery.

I showed the EL wire based work, Spectral In-Sourcing.

Originally this was shown at Transparent Studio at Bose Pacia, Brooklyn.

Here are two writings on the show: One, Two. and Google translation of the 1st article.

Big shout-out to Brian Higbee for all his help.
