It opened! People came! Thank you!
Last night was the opening of Identity Operation! The four other artists and I were so incredibly nervous and anxious for the response to our work. The turn out was incredible! (We, all amateur party planners, ran out of food in about 30 minutes) Thank you so much for all your support, I had so many kind comments about how lovely the prints were, the surprising scale, and just how powerful they thought the piece was!
I wanted to share some images (I'll post some higher quality install shots when I get around to accomplishing that)

Here's the title wall!

And here's a little hint at an installation view! You can get a sense of scale and clarity!

And a quick shout out to my kind friends who came to support me at the opening!
The show is open until this Friday at the Guggenheim Gallery - gallery hours are 12 PM - 5 PM Monday through Friday on the corner of Palm and Center in Orange, CA.

You are incredible. Thank you for even considering this much of a donation. I will take you to a local museum (somewhere in LA or OC) with me and treat you to a day of learning, looking and art talk! If you aren't in Southern California, we can work something else out - just let me know! Also you are invited to the opening of this exhibition on April 23, 2012!

My uneducated but thoroughly entertaining friend, Zach Green, will take you to a museum of your choice and give you a docent-guided experience of art history from the perspective of somebody who knows nothing about art but loves to tell stories.
