Blake Matthew Brousseau, FF Alumn, In Memoriam
Blake Matthew Brousseau (January 11, 1959-March 23, 2023)
A remembrance
by his wife Linda Carmella Sibio and his son Sean Brousseau
Statement: Sean Brousseau
“You were taken from this world too soon. I will forever be grateful that we were able to reconnect in recent years and share details of our lives and interests. Your memory will always inspire me to pursue my creative endeavors with passion.”
Survivors:
Children and grandchildren
Layla Hobbs and partner Gant Randall of Bangor, Maine
Sean Brousseau and wife Sophia Cunningham of Windham, Maine
Their children/Blake Matthew Brousseau’s grandchildren:
Hayden and Delainey Brousseau
Craig Brousseau of Blue Hill, Maine
Siblings: Randy Brousseau and wife Jean of Englewood, Colorado
Meghan Brousseau Mehan of Sinsbury, Connecticut
Blake Matthew Brousseau was a self-taught artist, father, and companion to a wolf he raised named ZOE (his soul mate). His philosophy he described as “Group of One”. He did major pieces in the digital arts without any help from anyone.
He died unexpectedly on March 23, at our home in (Twenty-nine Palms), CA after a brief illness. In the 1980’s Blake was an early practitioner of “food art”, living in Connecticut and working as a chef at the L’American gourmet restaurant he also did work with the Wadsworth Atheneum around the visual aspects of food. Another restaurant he worked at was the Surry Inn. He was praised by important regional and national food critics. Over the period of the next 26 years, Blake moved on to other restaurants in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Blue Hill, Maine, and dedicated himself to the raising of three sons.
After retiring from his life as a chef he moved to Portland, Oregon where he worked for a restaurant called three doors down. He kept a wolf as a pet and placed a major focus on climbing and making art in the wild.
Blake made sculptures from all natural materials and left them in the wood, not caring whether anyone later saw the pieces or not. He was influenced by other artists he admired who did similar work. Blake also entered into the writing scene in Portland. He worked as an editor and had work published by Rain City Review. Other published works were in On the Bus. During his time in Oregon, he took his wolf on hikes through the mountains, the memories of which he cherished.
Before long, Blake’s ashes will be mingled with those of his wolf and scattered on Oregon’s Mount Hood. During his life Blake traveled to South America, where he studied with a cholandara, a holy Mayan medicine man. He climbed mountains in South America. He walked on fire and participated in unison hallucinatory experiences. Back in the U.S. Blake studied for next twenty years with a disciple of Black Elk to himself become a shaman. This is when Blake and I met. I was very ill and was dying from pneumocystic pneumonia and had been given a death sentence from all my doctors. I had no ability to metabolize any food and nutrients. Blake saved my life, utilizing his knowledge of food and shamanism. He was a very powerful and holy man, and nursed me back to health over a period of six years.
During the first five years of our life together, we collaborated primarily on the making of films, including Fantasy of a Cockroach, St. Pity, Prophet of Doom in the Banana Republic, White Lily/Black Mud, and Metaphysical Mechanic.
Clips of these projects are viewable on Blake’s youtube channel:
https://youtube.com@cinetrope.com
Blake’s last offering was in making the digital visuals for both the Cracked Eggs Connections piece with Franklin Furnace Archive and an excerpt from Wall St. Guillotine (work in progress); it is from this work that he became a Franklin Furnace artist alumn.
https://franklinfurnace.org/cracked-eggs/
His amazing digital images will be shown at his memorial on May 20, 2023 at the Fire Station in Joshua Tree, CA, from 5pm-7pm. Featured artists will be John Fleck or Victoria Williams. Address is: 65430 Winter’s Road, Joshua Tree, CA 92252
Directions are: from Highway 62 turn on Sunburst in Joshua Tree, follow this street and bear to right when road ends, make a left on Border and a right on Winter’s Road. It will be at the Copper Mountain Community Center grounds on the left side of the road. For those who may want to memorialize Blake further, we have established a GoFundMe site to raise the funds required for his cremation, his memorial event, the scattering of his ashes, the organization of his archive, and other necessary final expenses.

5. Hector Canonge, FF Alumn, April news
Hector Canonge, FF Alumn, presents new works, conducts workshops and keynote speech in Hong Kong and Japan.
Hector Canonge has been in Asia since April 10th. After finishing presentations at the Koloon Center in Hong Kong, Canonge traveled to Tokyo to meet with members from Japan Performance Art collective. From April 16 to 26, the artist will conduct workshops at Nipon Art in Tokyo, deliver a keynote speech at the Tsunami Kadonowaki Memorial, and present his new Performance Art project SONAIDA NO HI (The Day In Between) in the port city of Ishinomaki.
SONAIDA NO HI (The Day In Between) is a Performance Art project that addresses the complex relationship between humans and nature. The work explores the emotional effects that natural disasters have on individuals as they face the aftermath of a life changing situation.
The two part performance – one to be presented at Kinematheka Theater, and the second, as a public intervention at Ishinomaki Minamihana Tsunami Memorial Park, evokes the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the Ishinomaki region in 2011. After spending time in the Dais residence, Canonge will present his work working with local organizations, artists and community members. SONAIDA NO HI (The Day In Between) develops into corporal actions based on Japanese movement rituals, Butoh practice, and expressionist dance while using elements found in the disaster area.

16. Kendra J. Ross, FF Member, at Mark Morris Dance Studio, Brooklyn, NY, May 6
I would like to invite you to the premiere of a new piece that I am creating being presented by 651ARTS. Portals: Traversing Black Continuums is a multi-sensory journey through time, space, generations, and dimensions! This work-in-progress is a multi-disciplinary dance work that examines everyday items in our lives that serve as portals to oscillating between black past, present and the Afro-future. This work is a continuation of the development of my Sankofic praxis-process inspired by the Ghanaian Akan term-of looking back in order to understand how to intentionally move forward. I am delving into individual and communal experiences of items that transport us across generations. Inspired by a range of portals like candy and plastic bags, we will collectively uncover our traditions as fuel to navigate our current societal conditions and plan for what’s next. I hope you will come to experience and share this collectively created Black Time Capsule we will form with movement, text, and dialogue.
I am so excited to work with an incredible team including dancers/collaborators Candace Thompson-Zachery, Dani Criss, The Artist, Asma Feyijinmi, participatory art and installation by Ziedah Diata, and original composition by Wil Glover.
Date: Saturday, May 6
Time: 6pm
Location: Mark Morris Dance Center (Maxine Morris Studio) 3 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Our newest episode of Earth Riot Radio is out now!
Living Virtually Is Actually Killing Us
We have Actual reality and we have a lot of Virtual reality in this episode too.. We have to know the difference..
We live in a highly mediated mindscape, with the immersion in corporate marketing the fundamentalist ritual practice of ordinary living in America. In our Earth Riot this week our show of the Actual is a preaching by Bertha Lewis in the year of Occupy Wall Street. She addresses the “Church of Stop Shopping” during the struggle to keep Walmart out of New York City. That effort to keep the slayer of neighborhoods out of the city did succeed, and Bertha’s activist was a crucial driver of that resistance. And isn’t Bertha hilarious?
-Rev Billy, on behalf of Savitri D and the Stop Shopping Choir
Please join the Stop Shopping Choir in the EarthChurch every Sunday at 3pm EST. Physically come to 36 Ave C at East 3rd St in the East Village.
Livestream us by visiting this link – we’ll show the way:
Follow us on Instagram @earthriotradio.
Our new album is Change Without Us.

21. Yura Adams, FF Alumn, at Turley Gallery, Hudson, NY, April 29
Artist Discussion
Yura Adams
Brian Wood
Gracelee Lawrence
moderated by Jesse Greenberg
Saturday, April 29, 2–4 PM
Yura Adams, Brian Wood, and Gracelee Lawrence will be in conversation with Jesse Greenberg at Turley Gallery, April 29, 2–4 PM. We’ll be discussing the current exhibitions at the gallery, Extramundane and PrtScn. The exhibitions are on view through April 30.
Yura Adams
This group of sculptures was made with the mad pleasure of being lost in materials and not knowing the way to the other side. I am a painter who wandered into a marble scrap pile outside my studio door and am following the original “what if” thread to unknown conclusions. No rules apply here. Are they paintings/sculpture or are they forms escaped from my paintings? The active verb is present and all of the sculptures shout out a mute narrative, indeed many of them come with titles of communication; for example: “In Case You Can’t Hear Me” and “Noon Whistle with Alarm Accompaniment”. Almost all the works are blissfully combined with marble, most have fabric, and there is, of course, paint.
Brian Wood
When I paint, I feel I’m invoking a living being—responding to its needs, following its urgings, serving its ferocity, revealing its presence. What does it want from me? As imaginal space opens and forms arise, I honor the intensity of these pre-linguistic images before they tip toward language, narrative, and discursive thought. As intimacy deepens, the painting looks back at me as intently as I see into it and the illusory distance between inner and outer worlds burns into one vast space where mutual being is possible.
Gracelee Lawrence
Lawrence’s work most often iterates as large-scale 3D-printed sculptures that vividly challenge traditional notions of materiality. Viewers ask: Are they really made of plastic? Are they really 3D-printed? Or put more directly, Lawrence’s work dares those in the room to ask simply, “How?” The more-or-less two-dimensional wall works collected for PrtScn begin to hint at the answer to these questions. Acrylic screens, rectangular and shiny as if harvested from a tablet, hold ultraviolet-printed images captured in screenshots directly from the sculptor’s intricate 3D rendering process. These digital, of-the-moment image harvests show the programs’ code in their churn and a 21st-century sculptor at work. Intimately scaled and held—naturally—in undulating 3D-printed frames, these gallery wall pieces are moments frozen in time, glimpses and glitches from behind the screens of larger, more physically embodied work.
Jesse Greenberg is an artist and curator based between Brooklyn and Catskill, NY. His current body of works in oil pastels and pigment sticks are expressive dense hyper-color fields of marks with disrupting graphics. Depicting abstract yet seemingly familiar forms and spaces. Greenberg has shown extensively in galleries, and institutions primarily in NYC and internationally. Greenberg is currently the lead programming director of Foreland, an arts campus in Catskill, NY, consisting of artists studios, exhibition space, events, classes and residencies.
Turley Gallery is open Friday–Sunday, 12–5 PM, and by appointment. Press and sales inquiries, please email info@turley.gallery

New interview with Penny Arcade
and
The Players Club
Longing Lasts Longer
thursday April 27th 8pm
“Bursting with energy…hilarity and pathos” Edinburgh Evening News
Longing Lasts Longer is a unique blend of stand-up comedy and memoir set in a riveting rock and roll soundscape mixed live by Penny Arcade’s collaborator of 31 years Steve Zehentner.
Longing Lasts Longer has been performed in 47 cities world-wide, winning three top festival prizes in Edinburgh and Adelaide. Longing Lasts Longer is fierce, visionary and ultimately a forward-looking critique of the erasure of history, the rise of nostalgia and the pervasiveness of cultural amnesia created by international gentrification seen through the lens of NewYork City.
Longing Lasts Longer is a crack in our planet’s post-gentrified landscape and shines a light on the path to individual authenticity.
“Penny Arcade has got to be the smartest, most quotable party in town! Audacious and irresistible!” The London Times
Thank you.

23. Jody Oberfelder, FF Alumn, at Dance München Festival, Germany, May 12-18
Hello everyone,
We are thrilled to participate in the 2023 Dance München Festival offering two interactive site inspired performance pieces: Walking to Present and Life Traveler. We’re proud to be part of this marvelous group of artists: Mathilde Monnier, Andrew Tay & Stephen Thompson, Marie Chouinard, Richard Siegal / Ballet of Difference! and more. About the festival and tickets: https://www.dance-muenchen.de/en
May 12,13,14 Walking to Present https://www.dance-muenchen.de/de/node/134
May 16,17,18, Life Traveler https://www.dance-muenchen.de/de/node/133
Performers: Rohan Dhupar, Vanessa Knouse, Ashley Merker, Paulina Meneses, Jody Oberfelder,Kate Page, Andrew Sanger, Grace Yi Li Tong,
Dramturg: Peter Sampel.
Music: Missy Mazzoli
Walking to Present, a commissioned work for Dance 2023, is a walking performed at Olympiaberg, one of three “mountains of rubble” in Munich that were made by piling up debris and the remains of buildings destroyed in the Second World War. Walking to Present links history to the present, the collective past to individual experiences, words to movements, a mapping of one’s own experiences and the experiences of other people combined with the history of the location. What traces do we leave behind?
Interventions and provocations in municipal spaces were part of important art movements in the 20th century, such as the Dadaists, the Situationist Internationals, the Fluxus artists, and land artists. Oberfelder concentrates on embodied sensorial intuitive perceptions via the language of movement. This conceptual score of Walking to Present may be translated to other sites.
And: With suitcases in hand, Life Traveler invites audiences to contemplate life, age, time, and journey. This peformance, performed by eight dancers, takes place on five different bridges across the Isar River!
Was it just a month ago? Thank you to all of you who came out to see Rube G.–The Consequence of Action last month at Gibney. We are thrilled with the audiences’ responses.
