has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
The Teach for America program brings well intentioned teachers in to understaffed and underachieving schools (they get a free masters degree). I have been a teacher for eight years in the inner city (Harlem, South Bronx). Many of my "Teach for America" friends have quit education altogether by the end of their first year.
This installation was produced in late july of this year and ran until the end of august at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, in Kelowna BC.

Orrinthaller ( & the apnea of speech)
Orrinthaller is a conceptual installation initiated by the collaborative work of three artists. Through their open processes of art making; Kyle Zsombor, Jorden & David Doody allow happenstance to regurgitate cultural intuition in an act of artistic survival.
Kyle ,Jorden & David are all recent graduates from the UBC-O Fine Arts Department. Although each artist offers a uniquely individual approach to the discourse of visual arts, they share a common focus on the materialism of cultural codification. Their combined individual practices have been heavily influenced by world travel and the cross pollination of mass media, ritual and fetishistic cultures.
