    You have done soooooo much and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to be a 'member' of the nadadada community. This thing you started will never die. It will continue to grow and thrive in venues all over. Las Vegas can stick it. We don't ...

    I'm with you Chad. I think you've done something quite remarkable. It's really hard to battle the system and also to be the front man of movement that has gotten far more traction than anyone has a right to expect. To me you are beyond incredible....

    Was the art shown in previous shows for sale or just on exhibition?

    Hi all,

    Nolan Preece believes that I should get The Governer's Arts Award for Service to the Arts.. I would like to receive it. Yes, as you all know, I stir shit up. In doing so, others become involved. Isn't this a good thing for art in Nevada?

    On NadaDadaism

    Power corrupts, community collapses.
    Equality is cooperation. Opportunity is earned.

    Let's embrace powerlessness, let's engage community. Let's earn opportunity, with equality. Let's build a powerless commune of opportunistic equals.

    There's been an organic development of the event/possee/movement that we're calling NadaDada Motel. In 2007, the first year, it was named Dada Motel by El Jefe. He brought a group of six artists together to put the wheels in motion and that is what we did and that… Continue

    Radio Interview on Sacramento NPR about Nada

    RADIO INTERVIEWS are my new fav: about Nada in Vegas... NPR Sacramento Radio: we're halfway thru the podcast... http://is.gd/hrO7

    We sat in the office at the Barrick while the show installation was being finished and talked about this whole ordeal.. I hope you think it's kinda funny. I focused on some politics of how we've formed our group and it's endeavors.

    All Hail Serendipity!

    On this, Thanksgiving weekend, I'd like to carry on the traditional gesture of offering up words of thanks to my God who's permeated the fabric of my life and made me into me.

    My thanks today goes out to a word–yes–this word I've recently declared my God. I trust this word above all others because I believe it is one word that stands outside of reason. It cannot, in this world, be taken away OR produced at will–by anyone; in fact, my new faith tells me that this word IS the world and it is ever… Continue

    NadaDadaParade Vids (the Evolution)

    These are my NadaDada promo videos all together now. Who are these people behind the 'DingDong'? I wanted to show the 'Motelistas' in action. One fact I've learned posting videos–people like to see faces! We're seen in Vegas at the big exhibition and at a couple sexy dress-up parties @ SK James' house. Photo-shoot parties have become a staple of the NadaDada crowd, it's been the best thing for self promotion. Where's the party? right here.

    As you can see, these are actually slideshows of photos… Continue

    You look a bit ruffled in that office. However, I admire the gusto! Do you sleep at all?

    oops - my comment didn't take. What I tried to say before was: Oh, yeah?? Well your piece in my house is in the most prominent position. You get the highest billing, art-wise. Now, I just need to build a little contraption to light the thing properly.

    These are photos of the 'performance' I did for Artown this year. I'm doing it again (you may have seen my new lil' vid), again for 120 hours straight. I'm staying in the vacant office space where some of my art hangs right now. 50 W. Liberty St. in downtown Reno.
    I call it "Artist In A Box" and I've done it in 5 different places now, including my room at Dada Motel in '07.
    "Artist In A BofA Box" will be Dec. 7th thru 11th. 5pm to 5pm. And this time around my purpose is not to draw or paint, it's to BLOG.

    Notes

    This site will serve what purpose?

    Let's talk about this concept of art in motel rooms and how this art event is different–and how to keep making it STAND OUT. What're we doing in these motel rooms, hmmm?? How much interest has there been? What's it like to attend this thing? Can other cities get involved? Who pays what to whom? When is check out time? If we find porn under the bed do we keep it?

    People have a lot of questions to ask so ask away–or answer away–hell, do both.

    Serendipity Gets It Upity

    serendipity gets it uppity for me because it can feel great to be out of control, not calling the shots, that can feel great. I like art in that way and art making, you know, when a drip just works. Usually it turns out the 'accident' was better than you possibly could have planned out. Well, that's kinda how this show should be seen. 50 artists have exhibitions in rooms next to each other, there's gonna be some juxtaposed serendipity gettin' it uppity in hee-ah.
