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.

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 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..

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

Why I'd Call Myself Liberal But Not A Democrat

American politics... two sides of the same coin? Well I hope so–shouldn't we be on the 'same coin'? But my problem is that we only have 2 choices since the U.S. political system is still a 2 party system. Why is that? Isn't this an outdated model? Most other countrie… Continue

An Artist Needs Critiques

It must appear very strange to people looking 'in' on artists that we critique each other. It can be rough, it can be cold, it can be friendly or it could be glorifying–all of these feel dangerous to us, fear runs up our veins, but we look past all that in a day or three and can appreciate what our peers have given us. It means that somebody cares if they'll be blunt with you or tell you what you don't like about your art. check it, it's all about how this artist is in town (Vegas) and giving a… Continue

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.
