Mark and his Art...

TART the gallery that is representing me on Lusk between 3rd and 4th off of Townsend has asked me to be a part of TART Upstairs. Anne (the gallry's owner) has selected some of my work, to be shown on a by-appointment basis. To anyone who may be interested, we are planning a brunch and viewing of my work within the next week or so. I will keep you posted. Please let us know if you are interested so we can send you a personal invite.

for a review of my last show at TART.

I have also finished my book! Go to Blurb.com and search my title, Skipping Something. The book can be purchased directly from their website. The book includes amazing documentation from my last performance at Tart as well as text. Clair has a great eye for photography, it is clear from the images in Skipping Something. David also wrote a very descriptive intro for the book. Hope you get a chance to see it.

so much to blog about...

hi it's Mark Oliver. I just want to take a step back and reflect on all that's been going on and let anyone who does not know about what's coming up for me and Red Without Blue.

Clair is right -- Honolulu was a blast. It was so fun to hang out and lounge on the beach with my mom and Jennifer. (I know you are reading this mom) Thank you and miss you. We also met some nice locals at the film fest while we were there. Thanks again for your questions at the Q&A.

A day later, we were off to Portland for the first Qdoc film festival. It was a short trip, but was one of the best screenings we have ever had. The film was the opening night doc, so the first screening sold out. However, they had a 2nd screening after the first. David and Russ (the guys who put on the festival) hooked us up with a great hotel and invited us to the filmmakers brunch. There, Clair, Todd, Benita and I not only ate well, but met great filmmakers and supporters of the festival. It was great to meet so many friendly and smart people after the film screenings. There were quite a few sets of twins in the crowd- GO TWINS. I also ran into the mother of a girl I went to boarding school with. I found out her daughter was living in San Francisco also. After a day and a half, I was ready to move to Portland. David and I plan on taking a trip out there in the future.

Since being back in San Francisco we have had a lot of interviews for the frameline screening's and the Sundance premiere on the 25th. Everyone pick up a copy of today's Chronicle, or go to http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/06/16/MNGLNQGM8R1.DTL to read it. All of the interviews have been wonderful with great questions (Thanks Bill). We will post a link to the press once we have it. While I am on the topic of promoting the film, if you have not read this month's Advocate or the San Francisco Magazine, you should. Both have unique and well written articles on the film. SF Mag used beautiful photos by Jock Macdonald of Clair and me skipping rope.

These are the dates for Fameline31. Clair and I will be at both screenings to do a Q&A.
