In early 2021, I was in my first show at the Coachella Valley Art Center (CVAC) in Indio, CA. The show was called Artists Comment. Because of Covid, the show was outside on the brick wall of the building. My piece was an 8' square called PANDEMONIUM (flag). In the Dadaist ‘poster poem’ tradition, PANDEMONIUM (flag) used illegible letters and words painted on illegible posters pieced together to make an American flag. Along with the outdoor piece, I designed an accompanying manifesto newspaper called PANDEMONIUM TIMES 2020. The newspaper is a layout of the text from Georg Baselitz’s 1961-1962 Pandemonium Manifestos; it is essentially illegible, except for the last line—‘all writing is crap.’ The cover of the newspaper was in Poster Show at but, also in Washington, DC.
