The Chinese fashion magazine 1626 published a four page article about my Cult of Potato concept in the Shock section of their December 17, 2012 Issue #193.  The article includes a brief summary of the history of my potato art movement and includes excerpts from an interview that took place in November 2012 following the “Occupying Potato” exhibitions at the Islip Art Museum.   Includes photographs of my potato-themed events, artifacts from my collections, and a selection of my potato paintings, sculptures and installations.

The article written in Chinese is available online only as pay-to-read on the Dooland website.

Updated 1/15/13:  An English translation of the article is now available thanks to the wonderful assistance of my former student, Xiao Han.

I have a new sculpture (“Manhattan: Smashed“) and two works on paper (“ENOLOGRAMS“) included in the Art Enology exhibition at Art in FLUX in Harlem, NY curated by Souleo running from December 5 – January 23, 2013.  For more information visit the Harlem Arts Alliance calendar for this event or contact: info@souleouniverse.com.
