A Great Lakes Vista

Performance poetry show / 2013 Pillsbury House Naked Stages fellowship, Minneapolis MN

Performance art, installation, mock lecture / history and science as poetry / vacation slides with an eccentric host / an inner landscape drawn from real land, city, and waterscapes / exploring the place of nature in culture, parsing the terms of identity politics and environmentalism, and romancing the heart of a borderland

Installation - Tent Trace Place Lake Landing

Night-long participatory installation / 2014 Northern Spark Festival, Minneapolis MN

A camping tent with an overhead projector inside were installed in an urban park in downtown Minneapolis from dusk to dawn as part of a nuit-blanche-style Twin Cities street art festival. Passers-by saw Great Lakes images and live writing projected and collaged on the tent from the outside, and were invited inside to participate. A torrential night-long storm wreaked havoc on the festival, requiring tarp and raincoat.
