(roll over the images to 'no. 15' though not a great pic)
7. 2nd Grade Toy Inventions at Creative Research Laboratory in Austin,
TX. "Now and Tomorrow" exhibition. June.
The Education Program of CRL in Austin worked with school teachers who
then conducted art projects with students pre-kindergarden to 12th
grade. My favorite was the 2nd grade project. They invented thier own
toys, and exhibited them as if they were pitching them: a drawing,
clay model, and a marketing profile outlining materials, noise, how to
use it, age req., special effects, cost). My favorite toy was titled
"Monkey". According to the available information, you throw it and it
screams.
From the Austin Chronicle: "Alfred Galvan's Discoman, a blue and gold
doll bursting with disco magic, is designed to be made of "plastic and
solid gold" and sold for $4,000 under the slogan "Little Children Out
of Site.""
8. The Infinite Fill Show at Foxy Production, NY.
My favorite works were Michael Bell-Smith's animation and Ryan
Compton's hand-drawn sneakers on a brick wall pattern.
July - Aug.

9. Scott Hewicker's napkin drawings of cats with laser eyes. I keep
finding them lying around abandonned. San Francisco, CA. Beginning in
October.
10. Jovi Schnell at The Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco, CA. November.
