Every year I prepare a calendar in pdf format and send it to all my friends. This year the calendar features twelve creative projects which I worked on over the last twelve months. The projects include a virtual astronomical art exhibition in Second Life, a mail art collection, two Shopdropping projects, some video art, an installation for which I baked 150 pretzels, a series of monoprints, and more. To download the calendar, please choose one of the links to the right. To open and print this calendar you'll need Adobe Acrobat. The calendar's format is a vertical 8.5" x 11", but it will also print nicely on A4.
