Update #6: "The Evangelists" now on view in San Francisco

Posted on March 12

Dear Backers,

Although I'm late announcing it here, you've probably received news that my solo exhibition The Imagined Chase opened Thursday, March 1 at Frey Norris Contemporary and Modern in San Francisco. 

"The Evangelists" animated video projection is now complete and showing Tuesday through Saturday at the gallery.  If you'd like to see it as it was intended to be viewed in the space, you can do so anytime before April 28. 

In addition, I will be screening The Evangelists and giving a talk on Thursday, March 15 from 6-7pm at Frey Norris.  I hope to see you there.

Currently, I am in the studio working on kickstarter rewards packages, so keep an eye on your mailbox in early April as you should be receiving something from me.

Here are some still frames for your viewing pleasure.  More updates soon!

Thanks again for your invaluable support.

Josh

Sorry for any confusion.  For mysterious reasons, Kickstarter won't allow two clips in one update, so please note that this animation is by Josh Johnson and that the thumbnail sketches below are for this animation.

Thanks,

There's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know. You know a good deal when you see one. You invented art patrons. What you get is everything the $1000 level gets, even the guest of honor status and gallery tour, but most importantly, you are only one of four people who will ever have the opportunity to own the final animated video installation, "The Evangelists" as it is intended to be shown. This includes all four projections as well as my help to make it display well in your particular space, be it at your home, business, or particular institution.
