Hi Emma,
Thanks for the invitation. Won't be able to make it to Philadelphia but
I am pleased to have been able to see your work online. I like the
strangeness and openness of the images.
Good luck with the opening.
:)

Philadelphia, PA
Dear friends and colleagues-
I'm writing to invite you to my solo exhibition, /Where It Falls/, at
the Print Center, Philadelphia, PA, opening on April 13 from 5:30 to
7:30. I hope you can join me!
An accompanying publication, with essay by Luc Santé, will be
available on site. I'm also honored to be the recipient of grants from
the Harpo Foundation and the Northern Manhattan Artist Alliance to
support the project.
Here is some work on my website

and at Gitterman Gallery
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109389020645&s=10490&e=0014tcVl14pXm6jDetJ2MwPNBDdQ8JUusUZQD_xpMA63UFlvBRpq-bSjPcBftTVyeuNY61k8t9-M9bAI25Pi5TrTqkKId0Fiw9vmMJzsZgkQDMwIH50U89FJK3rIsEEcMVi_emQj42-5ohTNnpU7322mIlazZZ64mqtQ6a3f49QmUBBk_h5Mt9ttd1hlWwwDmfozGxAssG9gOI=>.
/Where It Falls/ is titled after text fragments from the original 1713
survey of Newark, NJ. The survey defines the boundaries of the city
with 4 trees, each of which is individually described, and the Passaic
River. The exhibition includes large-scale silver gelatin images made
between 2002 and 2012, on foot and via helicopter, and digital imagery
from Google Earth and spycams of rooftop texts.
"Where It Falls", connotes, for me, notions of expectations and
resolution, and what paraprofessionals call outcomes. This exhibition
represents a summing up of about a decade of my work, and I'm excited
to share it with you.
In 2004, I began writing texts, in 12-foot + high letters, on rooftops
throughout Newark, NJ, and photographing them via helicopter.
Initially, this was a solitary act, inspired by the conceptual
function of eminent domain as instant blight, as well as by the
widespread, false assumption by many Internet users that Google Earth
functions in real time. In 2010, Google Earth updated their publicly
available satellite imagery, making the texts visible to everyone, and
will presumably continue to capture and update the digital record.
Almost 300 years later, the 4 trees named in the survey will be
written back into the landscape.
/Where it falls into Pasayack River/
/Thence Continuing Down where it began./
Philadelphia is not only home to the Print Center, but to more
galleries, museums, collectives, murals, etc than I could possibly
list without sounding like the tourist bureau. If you can, make a
weekend of it!
Thank you to all the people who have encouraged this project in many ways.
This project is supported by the Harpo Foundation and the NoMAA
Creative Grant Program, made possible by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation
and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation.
