About Me



Hello all:

I've launched the Artforum Ad Project, an artwork which, for $1.50, will allow you to have your image in a full-page ad in Artforum.

Please tell your friends, blog about this project, and generally spread the word.

Details at the project website: artforum.jeffreythompson.org

Spending a lot of time putting together show at the Texas Firehouse, our Long Island City warehouse studio.gallery.performance space. We now have a website . Oh, and check out my website .

My Interests

Hand-sanding, Shakleton, capos, and burritos.

I'd like to meet:



Those for whom it is not too loud, for they would be far too old.

Music:

Eagerly awaiting several CD's in the mail that should prove to be the best ever.

My iPod is officially overflowing. Add to "Who I'd Like to Meet" someone who wants to sponsor me a second iPod.

Recently: Asa Chang Jun Ray, Velvet Underground (always), Buffy Saint-Marie, Exploding Star Orchestra.

Movies:

Spaghetti westerns, samurai movies, and documentaries.

Netflix is my new best friend.

Television:

Do not own one, do not plan to.

Books:

Recently: Kingdom Coming: the Rise of Christian Nationalism (about all the scary, right-wing, end of the world types), Blood Meridian (darkest shit I've ever read), A Walk in the Woods (a not great book about hiking the Appalacian Trail), End of the Earth (about going to Antarctica).Reading now: Techgnosis.

Heroes:

Nice people. People who walk or ride bikes... people who send me postcards.

Oh, and people who do not imbed songs in their profiles.
