Fun-a-Day in the Bay opens tomorrow night at Rock, Paper, Scissors in downtown Oakland. As always, there will be a lot to see and a lot of fun things happening for Art Murmur. I’ll have a bunch of drawings on found paper.
6-9pm, 2278 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA.
Fun-a-Day is almost here! Pick a project, do it every day in January and show your work in a group show the following month. There are 16 shows scheduled for 2012, with more being added. See artclash.com for details on participating or starting your own show.

Some videos from the performance I worked on for the Time-Based Art Festival in Portland have found their way to the internet:
There are a couple more excerpts on youtube.
Ted and I made some art for a show in an old convent in Brooklyn now known as St. Cecilia’s Gallery. It involved lighting prayer candles and watching videos of celebrities, before they were famous, talking about how they wanted to be famous. I’ll post photos soon.
Fun-a-Day, a show I started with some friends almost seven years ago, is coming up again! The premise is simple: pick a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, etc), do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. There will be a bunch of shows around the country this year and everyone is invited to participate. Check out our site for more details and to post your project ideas. Or read our quick start guide to starting a Fun-a-Day show if you want to bring Fun-a-Day to your community.

Fun-A-Day in the Bay went really well. There were 40 amazing projects, 2 great performances and an enthusiastic crowd that packed the gallery for the entire night. The show went so well that Queen’s Nails has decided to have a second showing on March 14th, from 11-6pm.
Fun-A-Day hits the West Coast next weekend for one night only! It’s being organized by Michael, Molly and me. Hope to see you there!

From artclash.com:
This January we will be holding our fifth anniversary Fun-A-Day Project! Guidelines for entry are simple. Create your own project and produce one piece of artwork each day for the entire month of January. Then submit your 31 pieces by February 7 to be included in our fifth anniversary show.
I began organizing this show in 2004 in Philadelphia with Kara, Corey and Mike (and now Sharon is involved too). Last year there were also Fun-A-Day shows in Pittsburgh and Houston. I would love to do a California Fun-A-Day, but I don’t think I have enough free time. But if anyone wants to take on a large chunk of the organizing responsibilities, I would be happy to help. And hopefully some new Fun-A-Day shows will come together this year!
