Superpresent is an art Magazine which represents artist, writers, poets, both nationally and internationally. https://superpresent.wordpress.com/

Superpresent conveys multiple meanings. It could be something very much in the here and now, or something beyond the present state of being or thinking, or something surreal, or it could simply be a great and wonderful gift. In this sense, we seek to present poetry, essays, short stories, and visual arts that are compelling and in someway represent an aspect of the super present.

This Friday, I will be in a 2-person show titled “Kinetic Iterations” in Boulder, Colorado. This exhibition includes artist Jiffer Harriman and features work that bridges the gap between visual art, sound, kinetics, and viewer interaction. The work in this exhibition is meant to be interacted with in order to produce their full effect, whether creating sound, a visual experience, and/or movement. Although different in approach, both projects focus on kinetics and physics in the design of their unique, interactive pieces.

May 17 – August 6, Spartanburg Museum, “Off the Wall”, curated by
Associate Curator, Ashleigh Shuler

While in classical sculpture, art was made from raw materials, in the present day it is often constructed from pre-existing, reclaimed objects. Contemporary sculpture is about understanding the ways in which objects both acquire and lose meaning, and using this understanding to imbue them with new values. Off the Wall examines 11 sculptors who use this “alchemy of objects” to create new physical, conceptual, and political spaces.
