"jean-pierre hébert: drawing with the mind". the original proposal is now obsolete (and a large pdf file 9mb)

the basic principle for the show remains essentially new works only, not a retrospective. there was first an air of exciting developments and hopes of funding for new pieces. but as time went by it has appeared that fund raising success was less than expected, so the range of new works originally scheduled had to be restricted.

now, my main effort has been to create several series of 2-5 important vertical 6x3ft. panels that will be grouped by color and/or theme. these panels are printed on torinoko paper, with joel sherman's propitious help using the wide inkjet printer at the ucsb art studio.

in addition, there will be three or four kinetic pieces, and hopefully wall mounted digital displays. some pieces are the result of collaborations with ucsb students or former students (markdavid hosale, tatiana ginsberg, and a team of engineering students: c.m. bennett, eric griffin, brooks felton, kyle haynes, ryan miller). i am updating two existing pieces already exhibited locally to give them a new dimension.

we are planning an on line catalog for the show with texts, essays and images that will be printable on demand over the internet. this should be available for the opening of the "off axis" santa barbara biennale.
