"Amalgamated Debris Assemblage" Guild, Burning Man 2016 (link)
I created the premise for facilitating 'artist participants' in making assemblage art out in the desert for a week! Our Guild consisted of 6 members, and camped with our friends and colleagues from Salida, brought literally a ton of raw materials, hardware, and blanks of wood for folks to work on. Our table was severely built by Guild member 'Justin Aleutian' and when all was done, we helped 350 pieces, and then tore it all down and burned it with the Man! The most severe live art event I have done so far. SCENE VIDEO !!!!

"The Bureau Burden Of Indian Affairs" This piece was built in 90 minutes onstage in Salida for a free show, with a DJ, kaoroke drummer, and onstage paintist. This was by donation by patrons and silent auctioned. The Mayor bought it, and got a second piece of art, the title painting by Brink Messick, to match. After expenses, the balance of the door went to KHEN community radio, the free people's Clinic, and the nonprofit ArtWorks. The title refers to the pain of Native Americans dealing with white man's depressing and exploitive beaurocracy.

Rocking out for the 2nd time with hard rock band DiNOLA.

"My Baser Self Lives Here" This piece was my first onstage mega event live art show with the band DiNOLA in New Orleans. I had an exhibition at the Ogden Museum Of Southern Art upstairs, and we rocked the live venue on a Saturday afternoon, and I donated the art to the Museum's permanent collection. The title refers to a hard living life in New Orleans before Katrina and now when I visit.

"Instant Personal Art For The People" This event was me on a loading dock outside the gallery, working with tools, raw materials, and hardware; creating art from personal and found belongings of my clients that day. Each piece was rapid fire and took about a half hour. A train happened to be idling under the bridge all day too. I did 8 pieces for folks in 5 hours.

"Yah-Ta-Hey, Unusurped" This was performed in the parking lot on opening night of my Crutches show for 11th anniversary of 9/11. I took 8 vintage crutches and a vintage social studies project board from a friend's childhood and built this Native peace sign 'whirling logs' in front of a huge crowd who understood that it wasn't a Nazi swastika. At the end of the performance I had the audience write positive affirmations on strips of cloth and let them tie it to the finished sculpture, in an eternal wish for personal and worldly peace. The title is about the usurping of symbols for diabolic reasons, and I was giving it back to the peoples who knew it for communication and love in cycles.

"Conway Twitty and Bitty House City" Instant art event. Political/social statement of how country stars grew up in squalor, to rise above. The intent of new so called 'affordable housing' placed between stockyards and sewerage plant was really telling of the $ and powers that be, and how they treat the working people. March 2016 in Salida, CO. at the Emporium, with main man musician Cody Wayne of Alma, Mandolin Mike, and a cast of characters from Salida; Greg Walter, Brian Rill, Brett, Mohan, BeMan; adding to the mayhem of Instant Art and appreciation for country music. Thank you Miss Bonnie for being matriarch, and onstage personality, and helping women and families in need, and in transition.
