When Pablo met Rembrandt

Here's an elevator pitch for you,

Shortly after Microsoft's first public AI experiment goes psychopathic fascist, their second produces a counterfeit artwork worth around $30 million. Using methods developed by the ultra-rich it begins a program of counterfeiting designed to crash the world economy. A savvy group of misfit hackers come to the world's rescue by tricking this new amoral proto-consciousness into revealing itself through a madcap series of profane hijinx. The twist at the end, the Rembrandt painting speaks, "and I would have got away with it if it weren't for you darned kids." The theme from the matrix plays as the credits begin to roll.

When Installing Artwork...

Personal Field Kit Impression Complete!

As we noted a couple of posts ago, we've been testing out the very handy and portable City Souvenirs Personal Field Kit, created by Nicole Seisler.  We'll be working with Nicole on our second ESP (Earthbound Special Projects) to deploy the travel kits at our existing installation sites across the United States.

Nicole created City Souvenirs as a way for the public to engage with their environment around them.  The growing library of imprints is a beautiful record of this exploration and they're pretty astonishing objects too!  You can read more and see more about city souvenirs here:  https://nysprojects.com/clay/city-souvenirs/

This past weekend Scott helped us take an imprint of a rivet and fencing of the first permanent bridge in Guerneville, California, that was build in 1922.  The field kit and impression now get sent back to Nicole for firing and becomes part of the souvenir library.

ESP in April

Hey Los Angeles!
May I suggest you get your butts over to A-B Projects in Claremont?

Charlie Schneider, an amazing artist whose work EbM fell in love with the moment we saw it (thanks for suggesting we check it out, board member Angela!) is showing there until April 17.
We like Charlie as much as we like his work. We commissioned him to create a work for our first coastal property -- whenever we get our first coastal property. (If you own some property on an ocean, and would like an artist made blow hole on it, let us know and we will buy or lease a bit from you.)

In the meantime, Charlie is the first artist installing as part of our ESP program. ESP is an attempt to use our sites in a continuous and evolving way, once they have work on them. Charlie will begin installing his pinhole cameras on our sites this June. He designed and built a pinhole camera security system for us. Once installed, the system will allow for constant surveillance of the sites, with no data retention threatening visitors' privacy.
Just from reading about those two projects, now you know why you want to go out to his show in Claremont, right?

But wait, there's more!

Our second ESP commission is Nicole Seisler. Even as I write, we are testing a traveling version of her amazing City Souvenirs project. This summer and fall we will be adding all of our extant sites to the City Souvenirs project.

Nicole is also the gallerist behind A-B Projects.

A-B Projects is located on the campus of Claremont Graduate University, 35 miles East of Los Angeles:
251 E 10th Street, Suite 113, Claremont CA
Exhibitions are open to the public Monday-Friday, 9-5.
