It’s been a few years since I photographed Bobby Tan removing glass from his eyebrow with butter knives. A little time has come and gone, but the same enthusiasm and intensity that motivated the butter knife incident are still definitely intact. Went over to his place a couple weeks ago to look through some of his art, mostly drawings and collage-mash books, all projects that have been consuming hours of his time each day. He’s got a little corner set up in his house, a set of pens, and has been churning out work for several months now. It’s quite a stack of stuff that really speaks to the time and energy he’s putting into it. Pretty impressed by his trajectory and definitely a fan of the work. Stepped out for a few minutes to catch his opening tonight at Double Daughters in downtown Denver. Figured I’d post this for today and put the hunt images off until tomorrow.

Three of my photographs have been selected to show in the final edit of Art from the Heart, a fundraiser-benefit for The Vanderbilt Republic Foundation’s Masters project this fall. The project is a partnership with Arn Chorn-Pond and Cambodian Living Arts, and will devote four weeks to documenting the lives of the Cambodian performing masters who narrowly survived the Khmer Rouge.
The show will be in the Galleries at Calumet Photographic and curated by Audrie Lawrence & Celeste Holt-Walters of Heart Art Productions. Donors will have the opportunity to select an unframed print from the show for their collection.
Preview the show at Calumet Photographic, 22 West 22nd Street, New York City Sept 8-9th or attend the opening from 7-10pm on the 10th. More information available here: http://vanderbiltrepublic.org/afth/
The three photographs selected by the show’s curators appear following the page-break.
