He came to my studio once in grad school (so he had to) but, he was awesome- smart, interesting, enthusiastic, and supportive. I don't know him other then that visit
but, I like his work and this place hosting his lamps looks neat: South Willard.
Alas, it is in L.A. like so many things I like these days. sigh.
I especially like the spray paint on the lamps shades.

My friend Roy sent me a link to an interview with Jason Meadows at the MCA, Chicago where he is in Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy June 26 - October 17, 2010: MCA CHICAGO.
Here is a link to some You Tube videos with the artists from the show- this one is with Nathan Carter.
(He is talking about communication!!)
Oh yea, Roy designed/ art directed the catalogue!!! (Foldfour) It looks awesome! Last year when we were in Chicago he told me about a book he found on Calder's home and later sent me pictures- it is super inspiring. Hmm, Maybe I can post some later..
Here is a nice image from the catalogue on MCA's website:
Hey, thanks for the link on your blog! Fantastis. Love love these lamps. I'm a huge fan of Jason Meadows. His last show at Marc Foxx, he showed a new large scale bronze statue, that floored me. Magical and mythical.
