GEISAI Miami Help

Dear Friends,

I am totally stoked to announce that I have been invited to participate in this years GEISAI Miami fair, curated by Joao Ribas, Matthew Higgs and Shamim M. Momin. If you're in Miami during Art Basel (December 3rd - 7th), you should most definitely stop by and say hello, buy a zine and bring me Polaroids of the beach since I will be holed up indoors all day.

However, I am not so stoked on the fact that I am poor. If anyone knows of cheap hotels within walking distance of the event (Parliament Building of SoHo Studios, 2136 NW 1st Ave (@ NW 21st Street), Miami, FL 33127), or will be staying in Miami for Basel and would be willing to let me sleep on their couch or floor between November 30th - December 7th, it would be very much appreciated. I can cook you tasty meals if it's a house or apartment, or will trade you a print or book in exchange.

See you all soon!

Also, if anyone knows of any emergency artist funding, I want to get my work framed for the fair, but can't afford it on my own. Any leads?

David Horvitz

I'm not a huge huge fan of his photographs, they're just a little too diaristic / of the moment for my tastes, but his writing and more process/proposal based projects are pretty beautiful and genius. Like this one, which is a proposal he made for a show in LA.

I had a really hard time picking 3 images, thus we have 5.

Postcards From Garrison, NY.

Everyday Objects

Pictures of the "Everyday Objects" performance I did during the Art Under the Bridge Festival in Dumbo, as part of Martine Kaczynski's "Sky Rights" Piece. Passersby were encouraged to trade and barter my personal collections for objects or services of their choosing, based on my desire for what they were willing to part with. Totally weird experience.

Video to come later (hopefully).

These are seriously beautiful.
