OREGON PAINTING SOCIETY AT TATE MODERN PORTLAND 2010

This is a video of the art collective I founded with some dear friends of mine in Portland called Oregon Painting Society.

In this video we can be seen at the Tate Modern’s 10th Anniversary celebration in 2010. We were invited to London by the artist Maurizio Cattelan and the curators Cecilia Alemani and Massimiliano Gioni to be a part of their No Soul for sale event in the museum’s Turbine Hall.

The festival drew 90,000 visitors and I’d estimate we met most of them. It was a beyond fun introducing OPS’s vibe to so many awesome people from every corner of the planet…not that a sphere can really have corners…more like fractal edges or…you get the idea.

I consider it one of the greatest privileges of my “career” (ha!) in art and music to have landed in a group like OPS. They are seriously the best.
