6.24.10 Americans for the Arts has selected my first major public artwork for the 2010 Year in Review. Curators Helen Lessik and Fred Wilson reviewed over 300 applications (I had no idea mine was submitted, thanks Florida!) and 40 projects were selected. For more information, check out the press release.
 
3.1.10 If you make it to VOLTA, be sure to ask Ben and Risa to see the new Forever Govern Ignorance portfolio. This little project has been in the making for ages, and I've finally settled on just a hand full of images. The photographs are of microfiche I've found in Federal Depository Libraries over the years while working on VOLUME.
2.27.10 By some small miracle, a new installation will go up this week at VOLTA NY. The one thing I didn't realize I had so much of before Azza arrived... Time. (What I wouldn't do for that much time again?) Very excited to be in the show. If you haven't been, each of the 80 booths are solo and there are some great artists showing this year. I'll be there every day so please stop by to say hello.
10.27.09 Come out tonight to the new ESOPUS Space to celebrate the launch of Issue #13. Many thanks to Tod Lippy for the opportunity to create an Artist Project for the fall issue... Included in the project is a 16x20 inch poster of the BLOOD Collocation.
9.28.09 A busy week ahead... IE will be installing the TODAY Collocation at P.S.1 for The New York Book Art Fair and a new Collocation will launch on 20x200.com Thursday at 2PM ET. (Be sure to check it out right away, the smalls sold out in 20 minutes last year!)
8.04.09 Maximilian Azza Pollock has landed.
2.03.09 Many thanks to the Lower Manhattan Cutural Council and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs for awarding Mickey a 2009 Manhattan Community Arts Fund grant for a public art project that will take place in the Lower East Side this fall.

10.22.08 The University of Florida's Art in State Buildings program has commissioned Mickey to install a major glass Collocation of NATURE in their new Biomedical Sciences Building, opening July of 2009.
10.01.08 Invisible-Exports now represents my work in New York. I can't say enough about Ben, Risa, their street level space in the Lower East Side, and my first New York solo show, You People, opening November 14.
8.20.08 The August issue of DETAILS magazine published a few of the Volume images to accompany a lovely piece by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Michael Chabon.
7.15.08 Did I mention we moved from Minneapolis to New York? In April? In an effort to keep up with news from the studio and share random images of interest, I'm attempting to blog... (Which is why the link is buried here.)
7.01.08 Thanks to The Webmomster, a Volume theme can now be downloaded at iGoogle. To use it on your search page, follow the instructions here. I'll write a bit more about the irony of this marriage and the Atlantic Google Stoopid article on the new blog.

12.31.07 The QuarterAcreLifestyle debut CD has been awarded Best Album Photography by the Independent Music Awards! If you don't have a copy of it (or the new album) you can get one at CDBaby.
11.14.07 It's not good to refer to one's work as cheap. Maybe affordable or accessible is more palatable... Either way, I love what Jen Bekman is doing at 20x200.com. Today WORD STUDY goes on sale exclusively for $20, $200, or $2000. Make no mistake, these are not posters! Thankfully we were able to get Eric Recktenwald to print the entire edition.
