NEW YORK, 2012 – Gallery Xue / NYC is a real, working art gallery, but it also seems to spend a fair bit of its time doubling as a photo studio. I’ve shot 4 V Magazine covers there this year. Click any of the thumbnails above to enter “slide show” mode, and use arrow keys [...]

Graves Too
PORT OF LONG BEACH, 7 Aug – Thanks to everyone for spending time at Gallery Xue / LBC on Saturday. Since everybody seems gaga over Jackie Graves cool clothes, I just thought I’d chime in and say that I love her stuff too, but unlike you wannabe military brats, I like her FUN clothes! My [...]
Jackie Graves
OXYMORON, SECOND LIFE, 7 July – As part of iRez’ “World Today,” today, I logged on, looked at who on my contact list was also logged on, and went to go take a picture with that person. Two days ago I took a picture with Mikati Slade, two days from now it will be Yordie [...]
VB41 – Rock the Casbah
PORT OF LONG BEACH, 4 August – Newton’s Laws of Motion: First Law: A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Second Law: An idea in motion tends to go anywhere it flippin well pleases and there’s pretty much no predicting or controlling where that’s gonna be. Newton’s 2nd Law (VB/CO Edition) had a [...]
VB41 – Cast
PORT OF LONG BEACH, 4 August – Today combatants from Red, Green, and Purple teams base jumped into a field of competition that included cheese throwing, noob throwing, and the deadly speedboat elimination chase.

VB40 – Charlotte, Forever!
NEW NEW YORK, 28 July – Sometimes a time, a place, and a sensibility can simply be defining. You have to pity the poor generation that grew up in the 70′s and has now spent the majority of their adult lives apologizing for the music of their time, even as their older siblings who grew [...]

VB34 – Posters
KANDAHAR, 10 March – Today’s performance of Betty Tureaud and Vaneeesa Blaylock’s collaborative work, Net / Work, was the first time these two long-time virtual artists have worked together. Here we have gathered some of the posters associated with the performance.
Celluloid Heroes
KANDAHAR, 24 March – Friends dancing at a mountain site featuring Betty Tureaud’s immersive light and space installation, and managing not to break or twist anything regardless of how wild their improvisation, evoked today the bittersweet reverie of classic rock track Celluloid Heroes, here in the rocky Afghanistan mountains a kilometer above sea level. I [...]
VB33 – Sugar Mountain
PALESTINE, 2 March – On a slender, meter-wide ledge outside the Egypt Club, Xue Faith and 15 friends and relatives stood in the cool evening air, gazed off into the nearly 20km visibility, and contemplated the last hour of Xue’s teenage years. Then at the stroke of midnight, we went inside the warmer and less [...]
VB31 – Demo Days
VB31 – Demo Days Gallery Xue / Palestine 21 January 2012 Are avatars “real?” What about the text-only MUDs of yesterday? What about the Star Trek “Holodeck?” For some, climbing a mountain in a “holodeck” is “fake” and therefore meaningless. For others the text-only world of a MUD was as fully immersive as, well, the [...]
VB Previz #58 – Net / Work
VB31 – Demo Days was the brain child of Queen of Demo, Agnes Sharple. Then our gallerist Xue Faith had the inspired idea to invite kinetic / light artist Sledge Roffo to install a half dozen works at Gallery Xue / Palestine as a sort of landscape for our Demo performance. The compelling resonance between [...]
VB Previz #57 – Sugar Mountain
My daughter Xue is turning 20. This past half year has thankfully been a rather harmonious time for us, still I didn’t know if turning a milestone in her life into a performance artwork would be such a good idea. To my surprise, she asked me if we could do something. Xue’s aunt Trill mentioned [...]
VB30 – Born Again
CONCEPT: To celebrate the dawn of a new year, and Vaneeesa Blaylock / Company’s 4th year of performance work in virtual space, we baptize new avatars. Colloquially, and often pejoratively, referred to as “noobs,” the new avatar holds all the promise and peril that newborns have always held in physical space: Will he die of [...]
VB29 – Natatorium
VB29 Natatorium Compton’s Live, London City Saturday 17 December 2011 • 10am – Noon PDT • 6 – 8pm GMT CONCEPT: In VB29 – Natatorium we consider the phenomenology of corporeality.
