Phoenix, AZ (APRIL 24, 2008) -- Bragg's Pie Factory, 1301 Grand Avenue, will be hosting several local artists (Fausto Fernandez, Promise Tangeman, Chris Miller, Tawni Shuler) who work in a range of mediums including collage, photo transfers and painting during the May 2nd First Friday artwalk, from 6 - 10 PM. The exhibit is part of a series of exhibits in which Bragg's Pie Factory co-owner Beatrice Moore has invited a local artist (in this case Fausto Fernandez) to display their work alongside other artists of their choosing. So instead of being removed from the final curatorial outcome, the invited artist-curator becomes part of the final exhibit as well as the catalyst for the context in which their work is exhibited.

Installation at the ASU Art Museum.

Throughout josh six-week residency, josh green worked closely with the museum installation staff where I work. This project includes out crew Stephen Johnson, Chris Miller and Fausto Fernandez. Ordinarily displaying our work at the museum would be against museum policy as it represents a "Conflict of Interest," but in this particular case it was Ok'd to have it displayed as our work within the space is considered Josh Green Project.
