Berlin Shows 2013

As my time in Berlin draws to a close, this post recaps the past few months of studio work, exhibitions, my show and Tyson's, as well as other activities and observations.

Tyson and I leave Berlin at the end of the month, spending August in California visiting family and friends before heading to New York City to take up residence. A lot of changes and things to do in the coming weeks!

Recently, we also spent a week in Venice to see the Biennale and visit family. Another post will be coming soon, focusing on the "The Encyclopedic Palace" at the Biennale, this year's curatorial theme!

For the month of June, Tyson and I were artists in residence at the BÜRO FÜR BESTIMMTE DINGE a project of INSTITUT FÜR ALLES MÖGLICHE in Neukölln to present our work in the gallery space there. The following images are from my show, followed by images from Tyson's exhibition:
