The Joint Custody Project Berlin deadline has been extended to May 15. You have five days, so Apply Now. We are looking for Berlin and LA based artists to participate in a collaborative process oriented show. Read more about what we did last year or follow the project at the Joint Custody Blog.

This Saturday, May 10 Peres Projects is opening a new show by Terrence Koh at their gallery in Chinatown.  Instead of sharing some images or the postcard, I would like to reproduce what is, perhaps, the most inspiring and engaging invitation I’ve ever received to anything, really.  Thanks to Chris for making me read through the end.
