UPDATE: Philippa Hughes has posted some clips from our conversation on her Pink Line Project site.
For two weeks, Andrew is living in a temporary space and broadcasting his daily, self-proclaimed "banal" actions via USTREAM. I stopped by his space on Monday to get a sense of his intentions for the project, and after hitting on topics as diverse as "The House with the Ocean View" (by Marina Abramovic), "I'm not here to make friends," (the notorious reality tv phrase spoken by at least one person in every reality tv show; see This American Life: Act Two), IKEA living, and sustainable materials, I'm looking forward to how our conversation develops as he virtually attends via webcam. (I'll be in my pajamas.)

"An Ordinall of Alchimy" opening at Cabinet Magazine Gallery

Last summer at the Mildred's Lane Artist Residency, us fellows were asked to collaborate on a project for Cabinet Magazine's gallery space. Under the direction of Mark Dion and Robert Williams, we applied principles of alchemy to the creation of the piece which will make its debut at the Cabinet gallery later this month. I am very excited to see how our project comes together, and catch-up with good friends from Mildred's Lane. Please stop by the opening if you can, or check out the show later on. Cabinet is a great magazine, and such a good resource for unfettered information.
"An Ordinall of Alchimy" - a collaborative installation organized by Mark Dion and Robert Williams, with Matt Bettine, Kathryn Cornelius, Joesph G. Cruz, Gabriella D'Italia, Scott Jarrett, Aislinn Pentecost, John Wanzel, Bryan McGovern Wilson, and Laura Wertheim

"An Ordinall of Alchimy" inaugurates "999," an occasional series of exhibitions presented by Cabinet in which artists are invited to assemble work under a single constraint: everything installed in the gallery must have been acquired on Ebay for a total of less than $999. When the exhibition comes down, its contents are offered for sale as a single item, once again on Ebay.
In 2009, Mark Dion, Robert Williams, and their students at the Pennsylvania artists’ colony Mildred’s Lane used Cabinet’s invitation as an opportunity to explore the theme of alchemical transformation. “An Ordinall of Alchimy” comprises the objects they assembled, a collection keyed to the seven basic processes of practical alchemy: Calcination, Fixation, Solution, Distillation, Sublimation, Separation, and Projection.

UPDATE: Philippa Hughes of The Pink Line Project has put together a video of a few parts of the conversation with Nevan - fortunately, he's a non-stop talker, and therefore made it easy on me as I was still coming off of a nasty cold...Check it out - he is hilarious and a force of information, talent, and passion.
