Interpretations, Translations, Transactions Show This Saturday
Come see the show at the Temporary Space in Houston this Saturday! I will have a recent collaborative piece in a group show. Ivan Monforte (a friend and artist based in New York) and I have exchanged body hair and immortalized it in small reliquaries.
The opening is this Saturday the 22nd and runs from 7pm-10pm.

Show January 15th!
Hello all,
I am having a show coming up next Friday, January 15th.The show will take place at a new project space founded my fellow grad student and friend by Keijiro Suzuki. The venue is called "The Temporary Space." You can find out more about the location at it's website:
thetemporaryspace
Keijiro has written a little blurb about the show:
Power and energy of sounds are always significant for human beings. “Am I Demon,” a song by Danzig, references the virility and spectacle used as a focal point by Francis Giampietro. “Am I Demon” is a collection resulting from Giampietro’s self-investigative project on the roots, effects and manifestations of virility. Through the use of association, gender and symbol he questions the historically and culturally constructed image of man. Contrasting symbolic figurative materials and abstract forms, a mark and sound become critical material for the audience to explore the subject with Giampietro. Through his intensive observation of athletes and the media imagery associated with them, Giampietro also addresses situational and psychological human force in relationship between spectators and the spectacle.
The Temporary Space is located at:
1320 Nance Street
Houston, TX, 77002
Hope you can make it out!
