I collaborated with 161 Project and Root Division for OUT SIDE ART, a block party at a new arts and entertainment venue opening up in the Mission. Local artists painted a wall that Banksy started and I created a neon swing that will permanently hang on the exterior of the venue on Mission between 14th and division.

I am participating in a group show at Terminal22 gallery in Oakland, CA called "Paper Cuts". It's all about the fragility or, in many cases, durability of paper as a medium in art. My Paper Kadish installation will be featured there amongst other artists that make their work from paper. The reception is on February 5th at 2443 Telegraph Ave from 6pm-10pm.
