My single channel work "Aggwessive" was accepted to the Aegis First Biennial Graduate Student Exhibition, at the Hite Art Institute, University of Louisville! The exhibit "Imaging Desire" will run from February 12 to March 21, 2009 at the universitys Gallery X. The exhibition reception and symposium will be held on Saturday, February 14, 2009.

The theme for this years symposium is inspired by a collection of essays by contemporary artist Mary Kelly, also entitled Imaging Desire. Through her writings, she discusses how desire has influenced the art and art history of the last four decades by transforming the phenomenological presence of the body into an image of sexual difference, extending the interrogation of the object to include the subjective conditions of its existence, turning political intent into personal accountability, and translating institutional critique into the question of authority (taken from Hite website).
The Keynote Address
1:45 PM- Imaging Desire: Aegis Symposium on Art History and Visual Culture The Speed Art Museum and the University of Louisville Hite Art Institute are pleased to present the keynote speaker, Dr. Maria Elena Buszek, for this year's Aegis Symposium on Art History and Visual Culture. The topic of this graduate student colloquium is Imaging Desire. In her keynote address, Dr. Buszek will discuss her research from her recent book, Pin-Up Grrrls: Feminism, Sexuality, Popular Culture. Presented by the Hite Art Institute and the Commonwealth Center for the Humanities and Society, University of Louisville. Admission is free. (Auditorium) (taken from the Speed Art Museum site)

My video work "how i destroyed your apartment in 4 min 12 sec." will be premiered in Beijing, China in January 2009. This work was done in collaboration with Chinese artist Xi Wang. He sent me raw footage of his apartment and i destroyed it through using video filters and unconventional and experimental video processing methods. I also added an original soundtrack.
