 I
am an
artist and educator living in San Diego, California. He received
an A.B. in Political Science and Studio Art from Stanford University
in 1982. From 1993–1997 I served as Assistant
Curator at the Centro Cultural de la Raza where I curated Plan
9 from Aztlan and other exhibits focused on Chicana/o aesthetics
and cultural issues.
Throughout the 1990s I worked on developing an array of unique
artistic practices including motography in which recycled
motor oil is used for fine art printmaking. I also developed a
number of interactive artworks using tape loops, motion detectors
and sound collages. These works were done in collaboration with
Randall Evans and were featured in the Off Broadway Show at the
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 2000.
From 2000–2002 I was graphics specialist at the Interactive
Cognition Lab at UC San Diego, where I worked with Dr. David Kirsh
who is well known for his research on the cognitive aspects of
web design. The outcome of his experiences at the Lab was the launch
of Apollo13Art.com, a site devoted to multimedia learning and the
research and development of my artistic ideas.
From 2001 – 2004 I operated Ice Gallery in San Diego making
it a forum for regional art. Ice Gallery was the scene of many
community art events including fotoaktions, art exhibitions, fundraisers
as well as performances. The gallery was located in a former dry
ice factory in San Diego's North Park neighborhood.
Since 2005, I have been a teacher at Southwestern Community
College in the School of Arts and Communications where I teache
courses in painting, life drawing, design and printmaking.
Most recently my focus has been on my first film, a documentary
project, Fotoaktion! about the life and work of artist
Dois "Boris" Berman. I continu to do performances, paint and
make prints while promoting the Keep
On Crossin' Project. Keep
on Crossin’ became part of the permanent collection of the
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 2005. |
