Okay, so I haven't updated this thing in a long time. However, I have a good excuse. I've been working on my real website. http://www.michaelpatrickmayer.com. Visit it. In addition, I've added stuff to my Flickr account since last December and I've got another load to put up sometime in the eventual future. But until then, http://www.michaelpatrickmayer.com

I checked out the lads in Loring Park last Monday as part of the Walker's Summer Movies & Music program. As usual, they rocked hard. Also, they were followed up by a showing of Bringing Up Baby, always a classic. Check the pix:

Photos are here. An experiment in the Forum gallery in winter, 2007. A few people (myself included) jammed out on a live PA while people drew on the gallery wall. Surrealism a go-go.

Check out photos from the show that opened last weekend: New ideas on photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art on exhibit at Museum of New Art, Detroit Detroit / Pontiac Michigan, 1 March 2007—Cranbrook Academy of Art candidates for Masters of Fine Art (MFA) will show innovative new works in the exhibition “Picture This: New Ideas on Photography” at the Museum of New Art, Detroit / Pontiac Michigan from 9 March through 14 April 2007. The exhibition will include works from seventeen artists whose research and current studio practice is based out of the Cranbrook photography program headed by artist-in-residence Carl Toth. Works range from prints-on-paper to sculptural pieces that examine the boundless possibilities of contemporary photographic practice. Picture This: New Ideas on Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art, shows objects, ideas, and insight that illustrate the program’s philosophy through the collective and individual vision of participating artists. The photography program at Cranbrook explains: “Utilized, theorized and debated across the full spectrum of culture, photographic images generate a virtual environment of seductive power and formal complexity. To artist/photographers this elaborate environment provides both a resource and a challenge… The creation and maintenance of this constantly shifting energized field, and the nurturing of the works that emerge from it, are the primary goals of the program in photography.” Participating artists include: Brookes Britcher, Christopher Durocher, Michael Glowacki, Sarah Harlan, Christopher Lee, David Lambert, Eric Lubrick, Andrew Maydoney, Michael Mayer, Fabian Morales, Christopher Motta, Michael Newton, Linda Phelps, Tommy Reynolds, Christy Shigekawa, Sarah Trahan, andTakafumi Yato Picture This: New Ideas on Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art will be on exhibit from Friday 9 March through Saturday 14 April 2007. The artists and Museum New Art, Detroit / Pontiac will host an opening reception from 6pm until 8pm Friday 9 March 2007. Regular gallery hours are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 12noon until 6pm. Artists will host daily gallery hours. A gallery talk and reception will be held by participating artists on Saturday 7 April 2007 at 3pm. Museum New Art, Detroit / Pontiac is located at 7 North Saginaw Street in Pontiac Michigan.
