We met the SXSW goal, and I did the drawing last night to see who won the piece of art. Here is the video. Huge thanks to everyone who pitched in. I still can’t believe you all did this!

***We reached the goal! See who won here***

I only need $175 $165 $115 $90 $80 $30 $15 $0 to meet our goal of $550 for a SXSW Interactive Registration. Thanks so much to everyone! So… if I make the goal, each person who donated will be entered into a drawing to win this piece. I chose this one simply because it’s one of the more popular ones.  It’s fully mounted and ready to hang. You can get an idea of what the mounting looks like here.

So – if you’d like to help and have a chance to win this piece of art, then go here.

I’ll post updates here, as well as on twitter and facebook so you’ll know when we’re getting close and when we reach the goal!

You can read how this started here.

Thanks so much! I hope you’ll enjoy the interactive art project that inter.sect Art Collective will be doing from SXSW!

I went through my art storage and realized I have quite a bit taking up room, so I thought I’d post the pieces I have for sale here.  All of these are mounted and ready to hang. They are lambda prints which are then face-mounted to 1/8 inch plexi. They have backing and 1/2 inch foam core on the back to make them stand out from the wall. It’s a very contemporary, polished look. You can see the mounting here.

Click any image to see the title, description and cost. If you’re interested in a piece, contact me here through comments, on twitter (@christinielsen) or email me at crnielsen@gmail.com.  Thanks!

***update*** I’m so close, with only $175 more needed! Woot! Thanks so much!

I was shocked and deeply touched when one of my friends started raising money for me to go to SXSW. I thought it was a nice gesture, but I didn’t think people would actually donate. Well, they have. And it looks like this actually might happen!

So, I’ve decided to do something for all those who donate. I’ll be doing an interactive art project/exhibition with inter.sect Art Collective from SXSW Interactive (March 12-16). We’ll be using all kinds of social media tools, photos, videos and live streaming, and viewers from around the globe will have the opportunity to “direct” us.  If you donate, you will become a sponsor and be plugged during one or more “reports” or art pieces.  This is my way of saying thanks and hopefully bringing you some more traffic/followers as well as getting you involved in the interactive exhibition.

If you want to pitch in ($5, $10, or whatever), you can do so here. Our goal is $550 for the registration.  Be sure to let me know who you are, and if you have a special request for what you want plugged (a different account, website, etc.), let me know.

Thanks so much and thanks to @ericbaze for starting this!

I’m Just a Girl

I’m creating a new series of work that deals with body, gender, and identity. So far the focus is on how gender and sexuality determine our rights as human beings. This is one of the still photographs. I’m creating video work as well (for an exhibition in October), and I’ll post that after the exhibition is up.
