I'm a few days into my 3-week residency with StreitLab, a new venture from the wonderful gallery Streit House Space.
My project is part alchemical adventure / part public art installation and at the end of it, Streit House Space will publish my very first zine. I'm excited!

'Out The Last Closer' accordion book by Carrie Crow & John Greiner
I first heard about the Venice Vending Machine project in 2011. Curator Marina Moreno distributed a call for artists to submit a tiny art piece, no more than 9cm in diameter, which would be enclosed in a plastic sphere and 'exhibited' inside a life-sized vending machine at the 54th Venice Biennale. I loved the concept and quickly shipped my pieces to the UK where the project was being assembled.
The vending machine installation device interests me because frankly, art fairs (museums and galleries too) can be too serious. Too much head, not enough heart and this project provides a much needed infusion of whimsy into spaces that can sometimes focus on the metrics rather than the delight in experiencing art.

Thrilled to be in the Spring 2016 collection of Streit House Space, an experimental online exhibition space I have admired for a long, long time. Check them out here and on Instagram for wonderful photographic inspiration.

I have been following the online photography gallery Streit House Space with great interest for awhile and was delighted to be selected for their recent exhibit, 'This is It.' The gallery is run by Jordanna Kalman, a photographer and curator under the simple premise: "photographers submit their work via email which is then printed, displayed on a wall, documented and finally posted online."
Why is this interesting to me? Well, firstly, I think Jordanna's personal work is brilliant and I love her gallery's aesthetic and philosophy. As a photographer who obsesses over every detail, from inception to print production, it's a refreshing experience to let that image go entirely. Streit House exhibitions are essentially a photograph of a selection of photographs, printed on whatever paper and printer the curator deemed fit and I just love how each of those individual images cohere in a new, dreamlike narrative borne out of Jordanna's imagination. It's kind of like being in someone else's dream and that is a wonderful feeling.
I will be exhibiting two pieces from my Observatorio seres at Curious Matter in Jersey City. Thrilled to be joining this wonderful gallery.
Very excited to have my Observatorio series part of Astoria Art Festival this year. Lots of amazing work taking over 30 venues in Astoria from October 10-19.
