On Saturday August 30, 2025 at 6pm there will be a closing reception for my art show at ReBar. This show, loosely titled “Cognitive Errors”, consists of 10 abstract paintings, including a collaborative series painted with Dan Brady called “Shady Ladies“. I appreciate Michelle Graves asking me to feature in the Downtown Las Vegas hangout in the heart of the Arts District. It’s always a pleasure to share my abstract expressionist paintings with people, no matter the setting.
During the closing event, I’ll have a very limited run of handmade CD-R copies of In Relative Obscurity II: Without An End In Mind, which also includes the bonus album CIA Listening Station in Germany. The Berlin recordings were created in June 2022 during my artist residency with The Cube LV Gallery, using field recordings from my time in Europe and guitar sessions at Noisy Rooms.
This release bridges my interest in spacey, guitar-driven drone music with my later Nevada Arts Council grant-funded projects that fully integrate video art for another layer of context and expression. Both iterations of In Relative Obscurity were filmed and performed in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada, at the Goldwell Open Air Museum’s Red Barn Arts Center.
For anyone who enjoys supporting unique and small-batch music projects, these CDs are a great way to collect something personal and rare. Whether you put it on for a long ambient drive or simply want to own one of only ten signed and numbered copies, it’s as much a piece of art as it is a listening experience.
Come hangout on Saturday, August 30 and say hello!
