New Work from Jen Hofer

precipitation-still04-eagleslaurel_detailsm

From issue 7 contributor Jen Hofer: Visual artist Hillary Mushkin and I collaborated on Precipitation, an animated video that is part of the Oog series, an online multimedia opinion feature for the nationally distributed Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It can be viewed this week here. After that it will be in the archives. An image from the piece is above, along with another example of Hillary’s superb work, from a new untitled series of drawings featuring cute kids and gilded neoclassical symbols of power. You’ll find more of Hillary’s images on her website, and in the near future another of our collaborative projects will be published in the journal area sneaks, edited by Rita Gonzalez and Joseph Mosconi.

Also, Poet and translator Sawako Nakayasu and I collaborated on a cross-continental text translation titled Or Mountains Or Mountains. Please visit the work, beautifully designed and hosted by Jessica Bozek and Eli Queen. More of Sawako’s fantastic work can be found on her website.
