My oh my, The Mind Benders class I taught at FOCI wrapped up last night and what a wonderful whirlwind! I had the most amazing students who time and time again, were so hungry for knowledge, and wanted to learn more and more.
We learned to bend neon, make digital vector patterns, blink the neon with programmable microcontrollers and I even showed them how they could work with a glassblower to pull their own tubes.

My TA, @dinkytown was incredible- typically fulfilling the class's needs before I even asked her. I am thrilled that she learned a bunch in the class.
It was able to train two FOCI staff members to bombard (the dangerous process of purifying and putting gas in the tubes)- so now FOCI neon renters can get their tubes filled quicker.
The artist talk and demo I gave was well attended, and now FOCI has the doodle I made during the demo in their permanent collection.

Students working and bending neon around a big octagonal table at FOCI. Neon torches and fire abound, clear glass tubes scattered around the table.
A class poster to the left, and a show poster to the right. The class poster has a doodle made with colors that can only be bought in california (yellow, turquoise, purple and pink) and the show poster has my Soul Selling Timer with a neon green "DATA DRIVEN" in the forground in an acrylic box emblazoned with big tech logos carved into it and big red button on the top.

You’ve 9 more days to catch the Lives Less Ordinary : Working-Class Britain Re-seen exhibition at Two Temple Place:

twotempleplace.org/exhibitions

Well worth a visit. It expands the idea of the w/c beyond the usual cliches. Though it’s not without limits of its own – perhaps inevitably so. That’s the problem with representation: you construct – and so more or less violently delimit – the very thing you think you’re just depicting.

Why is working class life so often presented as being grim in one way or another? In this sense, Lives Less Ordinary offers a marked contrast to the joy and vitality displayed by those working class artists, designers, photographers, models, musicians, fashion stylists and art directors who feature in The Face Magazine: Culture Shift exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery:

Lumpen: A Journal of Poor and Working Class Writers is open for submissions

theclassworkproject.com/post/l

Class Work · Lumpen: A Journal of Poor and Working Class Writers is open for submissions!The upcoming issue’s theme will be Migration: a topic that is often weaponised, distorted and manipulated by the ruling classes. There is a lack of an honest discussion about migration in the mainstream politics, and what serves as such discussion is, more often than not, reactive to whatever came out of the mouths of the likes of Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson, pushing this discussion towards reactionary right wing views. With this issue, we aim to challenge this. The stereotypical image of "th

“My childhood was full of it and being able to represent where I’m from is integral to me. Too often I’ll watch stuff and think they’re treating the working class like an art project. It’s very condescending. ‘Ooh, look at the poor!’ But I’m proud to be this mixed-race working-class kid from a block of flats.”

I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

me, wearing red and pink kitchen gloves, with a funnel, and all the fire polished lols attached end to end with latex tubing hanging down. bottles of chemicals and messy dryer pan are on the table.
shiny blinged out lols drying off on the new york times. Other shiny blobby glass objects and plastic things in the background.
six lols against a black painted table, with their ends fire polished
The long tube with all six lols in it... actually I think there was another tube of lols. Box of tissues and red stabilo 8008 pencil and white block on the non metallic table. Student in the background.
