2006 publications (pdf): january | february | march | april

News:
i was contacted last month by an online publication LOST Magazine - an online monthly magazine that combines elements of many other literary, online, and national magazines with a singular mission–to reclaim in writing lost people, places, and things.
i’ve been working on the Lost Glove Bank (LGB) project for the last few months and they asked if i would contribute a short article describing the work in their May issue. check it out! you can also see the LGB under my present art projects. LOST MAGAZINE LINK

Gloves that are found are collected and archived in a central location – a Lost Glove Bank (LGB). The LGB will advertise a monthly publication of lost gloves with a photo, brief description and the place the glove was found. In conjunction with OPENSOURCE Art and the project OPENshop, the LGB is located at OPENSOURCE’s home base. The LGB is free and open to the public, 24hrs a day. Gloves reside in the LGB for a month, after which they become “things” for OPENshop. For more information on LGB, OPENshop and OPENSOURCE Art please visit:

12 E. Washington St.
Champaign, IL 61820
or on the web at http://opensource.boxwith.com

The LGB will organize gloves according to their “best guessed” function. This includes, but is not limited to:
Work Gloves (Yellow tag)
Winter Wear (Red tag)
Child (Blue tag)

Medical or sanitation gloves are not included in the LGB for reason of health and safety. It is encouraged that if a medical or sanitation glove is found that you properly dispose of them while wearing the proper protection.
