Stretcher

From 2000 to 2010, I was a core member of Stretcher, an artist group based in the San Francisco Bay area. Launched online in 2001, Stretcher.org has published hundreds of features, reviews, artists’ projects and blog entries; created participatory installations and events for exhibitions at the Southern Exposure Gallery and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; organized or participated in dozens of public panels, talks, and presentations to students; and taught a class through the University of California Berkeley Extension in conjunction with Bay Area Now 4. I still post occasionally to Stretcher.org, although the site is now primarily an archive serving thousands of readers each month.
