Window 26 is a small local projection experiment taking place the second weekend of every month in the front window of my home in Butcher's Hill, Baltimore. It's a way of sharing art in a public space that's intimate yet at a safe distance.

It’s hard for us to know when we’ll be able to enjoy art together again. While we wait for our favorite galleries and other art venues to return, here’s a little unexpected corner to enjoy. Window26 is a small local projection experiment taking place in the front window of my home in Butcher's Hill, Baltimore. It's a way of sharing art in a public space that's intimate yet at a safe distance. 

Time-based media artists of all stripes are invited to submit work for a series of programmed nights of projection this summer. Artists who do not work in time-based media, but have some interesting ideas of how to work with the site are also encouraged to submit ideas here, or contact me via email.

Baltimore’s Inner harbor is a thriving, active place. It features amazing institutions like the Visionary Art Museum and the Museum of Industry. Harbor East offers diners a great diversity of gastronomic options. And sometimes it’s nice to blend in with the flocks of tourists to stroll the waterside, or take the water taxi to enjoy a panorama unavailable anywhere else in the city.

One thing one does not do, however, is take a refreshing dip.

The Herd is a tribute to all the citizens of Baltimore City who continue to hope for a healthy city and healthy waterways. It is a cluster of 400 luminous inflatable swim rings—similar in appearance to the floats used by swimmers at the seaside—laced together in a net to form a glowing multitude of creatures calmly bobbing in the shimmering ripples of the nighttime harbor.

The Herd amused, confounded and delighted visitors to Baltimore City's annual Light City Festival from April 13 - 22, 2018. The artist launched over 300 solar powered inflatables into Baltimore's inner Harbor. The installation took three days to complete with a dedicated crew of artists and volunteers, and used over 6000 feet of rope to position and secure all of the inflatables in a 120' by 340' foot area. 

In the interest of carrying The Herd's message of water health beyond the Harbor and the Bay, the inflatables were sold during the festival to benefit three water-oriented Baltimore non-profits: Waterfront Partnership's Healthy Harbor Initiative, the Baltimore-based performance group Fluid Movement, and the Living Classrooms Foundation, ensuring that the art piece has a life of its own after the festival, and that the materials used in fabrication will be put to a good (and fun) re-use.

The Herd raised over $4000 for our water loving non-profit partners. Eighty-four Herdlings were purchased by supporters during the festival and have been successfully re-homed, ensuring that these inflatables will continue to be loved and used, and will stay out of landfills. These donations will help these organizations continue their good work with our waterways and communities. The Herdling inflatables are still for available for sale now! If you are interested in Adopting a Herdling, please send an email our way!

The inflatable installation The Herd is pleased as punch to land in Toledo, Ohio for the marvelous MOMENTUM Festival from September 19 - 21.

WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE HERE! Since our arrival for install we have had an amazing time. You can find photos of our install process and the adventures we’ve had so far on Instagram by following our photo stream theherdpix.

Consider adopting a Herdling! Our goal is to generate as little as waste as possible, so we keep all our waterways and natural resources clean! Adopting a Herdling not only helps us keep these inflatables out of landfills, but proceeds also go to support Toledo’s Partners for Clean Streams, a local non-profit dedicated to stewardship of the Maumee River and all local waterways in Toledo. Follow the link above for more information!

Finally, we extend our thanks to everyone who has helped us make this happen—the Momentum Festival staff and volunteers, the Renaissance Toledo Hotel, The Arts Commission of the City of Toledo, Jupmode Clothing and all the crew and others who worked very hard to make this happen!
