My contribution to Faesthetic #12 included one incarnation of the Megacourse, as well as a couple closet skeleton manifestations from the course.

The Megacourse is the all-inclusive miniature golf destination. As thoughts are accumulated on the green, the Mega-course manifests apprehensions of each thought and forces the player to defeat the newly-acquired obstacle. Only the most focused, self confident, player can defeat the Megacourse.

I got interviewed on Fuel TV as part of their Boston coverage for the Dew Underground Tour. I learned that it is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission while shooting.

Thanks to Drew and Jeff for putting up with my weird requests…
Also, to clarify, there is some work included in the video made by other artists. This is to illustrate some the awesome Ice Cream People renditions people have contributed. At 12 seconds in they flash a drawing made by Travis Millard, then at 1:07 they include works by Mymo, Joe Keinberger, Eduardo Sarmiento, Travis Lampe, HorseBites, Patt Kelley, Joseph Game, Gemma Correll, Bruno Monteiro, Tom Gauld, and Frank Magnotta.

This piece is about 8′x18′ painted along the legal wall in Central Square Cambridge. It was the first thing I made upon returning from Europe. It’s intended to be a celebration of the perfect summer weather. Made it in a day. Notice the nod to the Rt. 1 dinosaur. Video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

A floating sperm whale carcass is slowly collecting sea-garbage. This demi-island is ultimately discovered and it’s inherent obstacles and unique terrain are capitalized on as the world’s first miniature golf island. WHALE ISLAND. This installation is the product of a summer-long tour of every miniature golf course in Massachusetts. It is the predecessor of Capital Falls, my first attempt at playable-art. Whale Island was installed over the course of a week in MassArt’s Godine Gallery. It featured eight “hole-in-one-able” putt-putt holes, a mystery dwelling structure adorned with a waterfall skull, and the origin theater (housed inside Moby Dick). Also sprinkled throughout the exhibition is evidence of other related miniature golf courses, and illustrated permutations in the development of Whale Island. More images after the jump.
