mnartists: Jonathan Nelson

AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT
mnartists.org teams with Minnesota Stories for a video series on Minnesota artists
I'm so excited to kickoff this series, and to be working with mnartists.org. I know that sounds like press release language, but it's true. Nothing is more rewarding to me than documenting artists in their space, learning the how/why/where behind their art and crafting their story in video form.
The first artist is my longtime friend Jon Nelson, most famous as host of Some Assembly Required and his sound collage alter-ego, Escape Mechanism. What you may not know is he creates beautiful visual mashups of old theater lights and other objects, such as suitcases and shovels. Jon is aprt of a show called "create • destroy • repeat" opening Dec 1 at Rosalux Gallery.
Special thanks to Jon, and to Kathleen Kvern for instigating and guiding this online video series.

This is incredible. I too am thrilled to document a person's love, passion, work. I've started some "profile" pieces, nothing that even comes close to your work here, but it's so amazing to me to capture people talking about what they're about.

You've done it so well here. Can't wait for more.
