News and Updates: November 2015

A few things are changing over the next few months. Most importantly, in mere weeks I will complete my coursework for my Master's degree at Clemson. I will only have my orals and defense in the Spring. One journey ends, so a new one must begin.


I have become a founding member of The Grid, and will (hopefully) enter beta testing very soon. My hope is that my new website will unite social media posts, blogs, studio images and interviews all in one place with less effort. Administering a website is one of those things I can do if I have to, but I'd rather make better use of my time. What will the new site look like? No idea. But jumping off into the unknown is what I do, so at least it will be an adventure.


I still have the http://christopherrico.com domain, but the site may experience some hiccups during the holidays. For that reason, I'm temporarily moving back over to Blogger, The Rico Act's original home. You can keep up with news, work in progress and, yes, more studio shots, plus updates as I transition to the grid.


Of course if you follow me on Twitter, you'll get linked to my new blog posts. Check me out on Instagram as well, where I use the medium as a walking sketchbook of images that I find interesting.


Finally, I'm announcing my first solo show in NYC. This will take place in 2017, and I cannot announce the gallery yet unfortunately. I'm reaching out to a couple of friends and will be documenting the entire studio process of creating the work over the next 12-18 months, culminating with opening night. The final project will likely appear as a short web-based documentary. I hope you'll all come on this journey with me, and tell your friends.
