Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon

Yesterday I took a trip out to Mt. Si with the Slaugherhaus Rose Arts Collective to show off our Wall Of Found at the Sound to Mountain Bicycle Festival.  You may remember our set up at the Georgetown Carnival with the tape strips glued to a wall and then played with modified tape head madness! 
Just across from our setup my collage "Envy" was on display as part of the "Inky Spokes" show of bicycle inspired art. And as an added bonus, the sun even came out!

Arthouse Co-op Sketchbook Project 2011

The tour dates for the Arthouse Co-op 2011 Sketchbook Project have just been announced; the tour kicks of on Febuary 19th in Brooklyn and after traveling the country will be in Seattle in June. I have several collages in the book that Slaughterhaus Rose submitted as well as a hand in overall design of the work. More pages to be uploaded soon! If you get a chance to visit this project you should do so. There are 28,838 from 94 countries represented.

Core Sample

Emerging from the final push to finish the submission from Slaughterhaus Rose for Brooklyn's very own Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project, I find that Core Gallery (the gallery representing Caudled Milk now) got a mention in City Arts Magazine. The group show will be up for viewing through the end of the month and my solo show will be in June. More on that to come!

My latest collaboration with Dubh Ros has just been uploaded to Vimeo; a video I made for a composition of his remixing the tracks from the Nam June Psyche/Slaughterhaus Rose freakout back in July.

Because we called that track "the Speckled Band" (based on the Arthur Conan Doyle's story and the gypsy idea of roaming the country recording with artists) the thought of snakes and in particular Ouroboros were what came to mind. Dubh listened to each individual track during a flight to NYC and so the loops and clouds below brought to mind a drone in flight. We suggest headphones.

Still Crazy After All these Years

And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years

Onwards & Upwards

Artopia was a load of fun; thank you to everyone who stopped by to wish us luck. Now that the dust has settled, Caudled Milk and the rest of combat happy joes of the Rose are working on or next project. What is that you ask?

Artopia

This Saturday, June 26th, you can catch video collage works by Caudled Milk and the other agents of Slaughterhaus Rose at Artopia in Georgetown. If you have never been, the one day art festival is an "annual celebration of all local innovative art and emerging talent. Artopia is a multi-disciplinary event that boasts an eclectic mix of art, ranging from the renowned to the obscure to the completely undiscovered."
Wander Georgetown and pop in on open studios, installations, performances, sculptures, POWER TOOL RACES, and of course, your friendly neighborhood Slaughterhaus Rose.
We will be in the Engine Room of the old Rainer Cold Storage Building.

Origin of the Species: Vol 2

The Slaughterhaus Rose Film Unit informs me they have just uploaded the latest in our endeavors: the video collage I did for Dubh Ros's DJ set at our May Day Freakout.

I was given a basic musical outline for the 30 minute set and based on the tones and mood, spliced together archived films to create the projection that would accompany.
Dubh was then shown the film and and began digging through crates (believe me, it's like Monument Valley in his studio) for his final loops, field recordings, sermons, and assorted audio madness.


After the show, we went back and reedited to sync the audio and video. Got some time? Check it out on Vimeo.

May Day

So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
The Internationale
Unites the world in song
So comrades come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race.


Perhaps we shall see you tonight.

The International, lyrics by Eugène Pottier, updated lyrics by Billy Bragg

May Day

Just a little over two weeks until the Slaughterhaus Rose show and still working on my 18 pieces. Bits of paper drift across my floor with every draft rattling the windows. The Queen of Spades came together magnificently in the end leaving only Jack of Diamonds and the King of Clubs reluctant to come out and play. I know you're dying for a preview but you'll just have to come to the show.
