If y’all will allow me an above-average dose of blog/scene nepotism (is that what it is?):

On May 8, Art Amiss’s 8th installment took place in Fayetteville’s Dickson Theater (info on Art Amiss, the multidisciplinary one-night art show collective/party here). One of my favorite pieces in the show was Inphysiblog, an installation by Fayetteville’s Julian Santa-Rita. The piece is a flexible-scaled series of sewn-together stamp collecting envelopes, filled with images from Julian’s computer, printed pages of a travel journal, and other goodies. Nearby was a semi-old-fashioned scriber tool, which viewers-turned-contributors used to write thoughts for the Inphysiblog. The whole thing was suspended on the wall by computer wires.

Also, Matt pointed me toward (and maybe he’s already pointed you there, too) an interview with Sangram Majumdar at neotericart.com: “What I seek in the work is a sense of time and the range of human awareness and interest, from the sustained to the superficial. We never care or see something twice the same way. So, each time I look at my surface I try to take into account these tendencies. I don’t do studies anymore, partly because I don’t want to split up the ‘thinking’ and the ‘making.’”

Claire Sherman is showing new work at Kavi Gupta

We’ve posted on Ms Sherman before, but I think her work merits a second look, at the very least.

Michelle Oosterbaan

Michelle Oosterbaan’s densely detailed drawings are maybe not ideally suited for viewing as a jpeg.    Her work is a part of the Great Rivers Biennial at the Museum of Contemporary Art in St. Louis until April 20th.  Here are a couple of other links, with some details and installation shots:  To Roberta Fallon’s flickr photos.  And to a video made by the Contemporary.
