The four photographs above are of a new paper sculpture currently in the window of catbird boutique as part of the Brooklyn Artwalking: Bedford Avenue show organized by eyewash, where 30 artists have installations in 30 store windows on Bedford Ave in Williamsburg. The show opened on Sunday April 27th and runs through June 8. (The sculpture was made entirely during my son's nap times--a fact of which I am extremely proud.)

Avestan will be on view at the National Academy as part of their summer invitational show, a huge group show of over 100 artists in a beautiful Beaux-Arts space (think fireplaces, wood panelling, molding). The full title of the show is "The 183rd Annual: An Invitational Exhibition of Contemporary American Art" and it runs through September 7th.

I'll be taking It Must Have Been a Happy Time out of storage for a short exhibition at the St. Vartan Armenian Cathedral for the church's 40th Anniversary. There is an opening reception on Thursday June 19th from 5:30 to 10:30 pm (I imagine there will be good hors d'oeurvres) and the show runs to June 24th (11 am to 7 pm). It's a group show of living and deceased Armenian artists, including Arshile Gorky, who I never thought I'd be exhibiting alongside of (it's quite an honor...)

Jesse Lambert (my S.O.) and I will be participating in an exhibition next March at Artspace in New Haven, CT. The show, organized by Jessica Buckley, will feature the work of three artist couples. Jesse and I have been asked to present a collaborative piece for the show. Unfortunately, we can't just exhibit our son Arek ;)

Have a great summer!
