I am in a group show at the Abrons Art Center (on the lower east side). The opening is this Sunday, March 6, from 6-8 pm. See infos below:

Inspired by a famous statement by French thinker Guy Debord, proclaiming that THE DAYS OF THIS SOCIETY ARE NUMBERED, this exhibition plays with the notion that at the beginning of the XXI century one is experiencing a period of fin de siècle, in which the state of affairs is questioned and a collective anxiety is emerging, a situation caused by the feeling of political, economic, and cultural crisis that is permeating the Western world and is creating a social entropy. Featured Artists: caraballo-farman (Argentina-Iran/Canada), Carolina Caycedo (Colombia), Hugo Canoilas (Portugal), Ruth Ewan (UK), John Hawke (US), Kiluanji Kia Henda (Angola), Nadja Marcin (Germany), Takashi Horisaki (Japan), Brooke Singer (US), Dread Scott (US). Curated by Miguel Amado, the AIRspace curator-in-residence. On view from March 6-April 16. Opening reception Sunday, March 6, from 6-8 p.m. Click here for more information.

This is going to be GREAT! I am on the steering committee and jury. We are looking forward to many fascinating, enlightening, fun and powerful entries. Please spread the word.

Data Viz Challenge Web Site

About: Every year, Americans fill out income tax forms and make a payment to the IRS. It’s an important civic duty, but it is also a lot of money. Where does it all go? Using data provided by WhatWePayFor.com, we challenge you to create a data visualization that will make it easier for U.S. citizens to understand how the government spends our tax money.

Soap Chef Rachel Winard will be joining us in The Counter Kitchen at Eyebeam in mid-March. More details soon. You will be able to sign up & help us reverse engineer something pink and BUTTery… That is all I am saying for now.

Here is a link to the Soapwalla site in meantime: http://www.etsy.com/shop/soapwallakitchen

I read a lot of environmental blogs and need help parsing through the info. But I also get awfully depressed once I come out the other end. So, the ECO NEWS TICKER keeps things balanced, the good and the bad in tandem. Because it does feel like the glass is half empty these days.

Jenna is cooking pop-tarts! I am so excited to taste them _tomorrow_. This recipe was inspired by the pesticides, petroleum and a lot of ??? in Kellog’s Strawberry Pop-Tarts®. Deconstruction by Hunter high, redesigned by TCK and next eating by you (if you visit our kitchen tomorrow at 1pm). More info about TCK pop-tarts, with video-assisted cooking techniques, on our new website thecounterkitchen.org. When? Soon.

I have finally posted a few of my photographs from my ongoing Superfund series. I have been working on this for nearly two years now, so about time, I know. The initial image download may be slow — be patient. Will get the kinks worked out tomorrow hopefully.

Oh, yeah, the URL: http://www.bsing.net/superfund_photo.html !!

While in San Francisco over the holidays, I was able to get back to Hunter’s Point and shoot some more. The Navy granted me access to most of the Superfund site, except portions that have yet to undergo remediation or are too dilapidated. I noticed a considerable amount of change since I was there last July. The cleanup seems to be moving fast, which makes me think that construction of a new 49ers football stadium might be in the not so distant future. Here are some keel blocks that were once used at the dry docks (shot with my iphone). My 4×5 negatives are still at the lab…
