NewOrleans+Americorps+Awesome

My name is Bill.

I just moved to New Orleans. I took a year long position at the Community Center of St Bernard Parish through a program called CTC Vista Americorps. I'm pretty excited.

I'm also a project based artist, here are some projects I have done/am doing.

Last week I went to a kickball game that a bunch of my nashville friends are on. It was a pretty good time. I hope I can get in on something like this in New Orleans.

This is the second New Orleans/Brooklyn combo I’ve found while looking around for new orleans art on the interweb. This project was called ‘Your Neighbors steps’ and the artist did two pieces, one in Brooklyn and one in N.O. The other was an event a N.O. t-shirt printing company I like put on called Brooklynola. My brother, sister-in-law, neice, and one of my best friends live in brooklyn. Maybe we will be closer then I thought…

I just descovered a place called The Front in NO, that looks incredable. At least the artists there have real nice work after looking at the website. I especially like Kyle Bravo and Jenny LeBlanc’s work. Above is some images from their printstallation ‘Snowball’ - a video of the peice can be seen here. I also really like their peice ‘faceoff’. I really love the performance/print combo. I have day dreams of jess and I making work like this.

I hope this installation is still up and happening when I get to new orleans. Its called “The Apostolic Project” and was done in partnership with AORTA which has been helping out with a bunch of site specific artwork in New Orleans since 06. A good video of the piece here.

This past weekend I went to the Bain Project in Raleigh, NC. 12 artists went in to an abandoned water filtration plant and set up all this site based installation with the objects they found in the plant. Really, really great/inspiring stuff. Some pics on my flickr - and more of my musings on the project on my elsewhere blog.
