Left Field Project’s RIGHTtoLEFT


Tonight at Artifacts:
Right to Left is an exhibition of multi-media art created by artists that are driving the visual aesthetic of today’s pop culture. The exhibit was conceived and curated by Duane Fernandez of Left Field Project. The tour opened in Carrboro, North Carolina at Wootini gallery on May 9th. The next stop for the show will be Artifacts gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma - Opening reception Friday, June 6th. The show will remain in Tulsa for 2 short weeks before it will make its final trip to the Super7 gallery in San Francisco, California - Opening reception Friday, July 18th.

The show's curator, Duane Fernandez, chose specifically to bring this exhibition to cities that are often left out of the crowd. He says, "Shows like Right to Left are abundant in New York and L.A. There's a huge following of people who appreciate this style in places like, Tulsa, and they rarely get to see these works first-hand."

Andy Mueller - Andy founded OhioGirl, a small design/photo/film studio.
Morning Breath - Brooklyn based Morning Breath, Inc. was founded by Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto in 2002.
Brian Flynn - Brian founded the San Francisco design studio Hybrid Design and Super7

Windy Thursday


I left for lunch at noon and ran over to Borders and bought a copy of David Sedaris' new book. He hasn't really come out with anything new since Thom and I saw him speak a few years ago. So I went directly home to my apartment that got power back only yesterday (we had a huge storm on Sunday with 75mph winds) to read. I warmed up a can of soup and got to it. Forty-five minutes later I woke up on the couch with the book on my lap, late for work. It really wasn't boring, I am just still so exhausted from staying at other people's houses while my power was out. I could stay at home during the aftermath of the ice storm because I had heat and hot water, but 75 degree nights without ac is really uncomfortable.

So tonight? I am looking forward to relaxing and reading my book in bed in the comfort of an air conditioned apartment.
