Digitized and edited copies of my 8mm family films are being shown along with other collected shorts in the window of 26 N Chester St. Baltimore as a response to Covid-19 and also so celebrate the recent SpaceX launch and station docking.

Window26 is a small local projection experiment taking place in the front window of Kelley Bell‘s home in Butcher’s Hill, Baltimore. It’s a way of sharing art in a public space that’s intimate yet at a safe distance. 

Time-based media artists of all stripes are invited to submit work for a series of programmed nights of projection this summer. Artists who do not work in time-based media, but have some interesting ideas of how to work with the site are also encouraged to submit ideas.

Learned that my thesis work was collaged into a beautiful webcomic by one of my favorite Baltimore Artists before we ever met. Jim Doran made Gin Rumi from images he shot of my worry slides and “inspired by the Sufi poet and based on something he wrote.” The mashup makes my heart sing in all sorts of ways thinking back on this project and what it meant to devote a year to focus on this collection.  Screen Shot 2019-11-12 at 8.29.47 PM
