Welcome to the April 2008 edition of John B’s Increasingly Occasional e-Newsletter. Just two items in this issue:

  1. OPEN STUDIOS, MAY 3-4 2008
  2. IF IT’S NOTARIZED, IT MUST BE TRUE
1. OPEN STUDIOS, MAY 3-4 2008

It’s springtime in Somerville — which means it’s time once again for the annual city-wide Somerville Open Studios event!

Come visit my studio, where I’ll have a few new pieces on display, plus my on-going “Deep Earth Dome” sound installation. I’ll also be selling copies of the “Earth Sound” CD, and offering free gifts that range from the vacuous to the sublime. When you come, you can re-fuel with a handful of chocolate edible goodies and replenish your ears and heart with the soothing ambiance of Small Sounds from a Big World.

And don’t forget to visit the 40+ other Joy Street Artists in the building who will also be open! Here you’ll find painters, jewelers, glass artists, photographers, quiltmakers, 3-D printmakers — you name it. There’s something here for everyone.

2. IF IT’S NOTARIZED, IT MUST BE TRUE

Is “conceptual” art really “art”? I think I’ve laid this question to rest once and for all. I had my piece, “This is a Work of Art“, officially notarized. Come see it during Open Studios and decide yourself.

I hope to see you next weekend!

Until then, listen closely and savor the sweet and fleeting sounds of spring.
