Petroleum and Water Images at SPACES Annual Benefit and Art Auction
This Saturday, November 5th, from 8pm – 1 am is SPACES Pop Royalty Annual Benefit and Art Auction at SPACES gallery in Cleveland.
All proceeds from the evening go towards keeping SPACES the resource and public forum for artists who explore and experiment.
For the event – everyone is encouraged to dress as Pop Royalty, “Pop tarts, Warhol superstars, and anyone with a sequined glove..” for the art auction, food, live music, and dancing and a live performance by Brian Sabalausky’s performance art talk show, Late Night with SPACES O’Brian.
I have 2 pieces in the auction at SPACES’ Benefit and Party – and they will be on display at the event.
The two Petroleum and Water images are in the 12×12 area (a buy-it-now section where all work is $75 and 12″ x 12”.)
Want a little petroleum up close and in your life? The petroleum in both images is from Titusville, PA; site of the Drake Well, which was the first commercial oil well in the U.S.
All proceeds from the auction and evening go towards supporting SPACES.

Kbaumlier quoted in the U.K. Guardian – Miranda July’s movie the Future
Last week I was interviewed about Miranda July’s film The Future, which opened in the U.K. this weekend.
The movie focuses on the relationship of a couple have been together for several years but their lives are starting to drift into an odd malaise. The couple decides to adopt Paw-Paw, a shelter cat, in a month after he’s healed up, and they see that as the beginning of the end for any dreams they may have had. The story features quirky elements such as time-stopping conversations with the moon, a shirt that can move on its own, and the film is narrated by the cat waiting to be adopted.
The film premiered at the Sundance festival this summer, and is now playing in the U.K. and the rest of the world.
