Live Event Production
As a creative professional, another manifestation of my creative expression extends to live event production including art gallery exhibits, launch parties, corporate events, and large scale art installations.
I've created and constructed art sets and props, coordinated and scheduled logistics and provide "johnny on the spot" assistance where/whenever needed.
TOTAL SENSORY IMMERSION
This phrase encapsulates everything I love about event production. The ability to so utterly transform someone’s sense of reality from the mundane to the spectacular, even if only for a moment, is what I love most about live event production. It takes grand vision to transform an event into an experience, and that is my goal for every event I'm a part of.
BAAAHS
B.A.A.A.H.S. is a queer burning man art collective based in San Francisco. They are a popular live event producer in the Bay area and own a school bus, lovingly named "Pearl", that they convert into a larger than life LED illuminated sheep that serves as mobile art, a dj booth / dance floor, and interactive party bus.
CODEX - DMTRMX Project, 2012
Codex was an interactive media experience by Mythaphi and Spectral Alchemy, creators of DMT: The Spirit Molecule. The event was a launch event for the DMTRMX project.
CHROMA - THE ART DEPARTMENT, SXSW 2012
CHROMA was an interactive media experience by The Art Department. Held at the Mohawk club, the event featured live model artistic renderings, performance art, djs, and cutting edge projection mapping.
Art Erotica
ArtErotica celebrates lust, love, and everything in between, while promoting safe and informed sex. The heart of this event is the amazing art auction and all Octopus Club events are 100% volunteer organized and produced; 100% of the money spent goes directly to this non profits that assist our friends and neighbors living with HIV and AIDS.
I and a colleague created 2 still life / living art instillations with nude models 2 years in a row for Art Erotica 2012 and 2013. We contracted models, Makeup and hair, and sourced any necessary materials to create a nude model living scene and that was captured in real time for acclaimed live painting artists. The scene was prominently featured within the event venue and on display for the enjoyment of all attendees.
