Bruce Conkle loves snowmen, coconuts, fairy tales, Sasquatch and gingerbread. He is interested in creating work which uses art and humor to address contemporary attitudes toward nature and environmental concerns, including deforestation and global warming. His work often deals with escapism, artificial worlds and man's place in nature and frequently examines what he calls the "misfit quotient" at the crossroads.(pr)


THIS JUST IN FROM THE DESK OF HARRELL FLETCHER:

"Because of a visiting artist's schedule change we will be doing something different for the PSU MFA Monday Night Lecture Series on April 16th (that's in a week). MFA Candidate Walter Lee, known for his Walter Lee Projects on YouTube such as this one, will host an open mic night of sorts in which audience members will be offered the opportunity to present work found on YouTube that they deem worthy of public attention on the big screen. To make the evening come together as fluidly as possible, Walter will take recommendations and create a playlist all week leading up to the presentation. To be included as a presenter please e-mail Walter as soon as possible at wfrancislee@gmail.com. There will be a Q and A after the screenings in which we hope to discuss the relevance of YouTube and other web based platforms in relation to contemporary art practice. As always the public is invited. Tell a friend."
