@mishmishsouq 🌔 & @christopherrobinduncan 🌔 Thanks for wrapping up the first season of Arab.AMP's SPARKS with such a glowing event!!! Heres a glimpse~ video/edit by our very own @millennyem SPARKS #5 - SUN designer/chef Michelle Nazzal [mishmish] & artist/musician Christopher Robin Duncan SEP 26 TAC Temescal Art Center Mishmish is an ongoing and ever-changing project from chef and designer Michelle Nazzal, preserving Palestinian food and cultural traditions in the diaspora. Founded in 2019, the project is a reflection of time and space, inspired by remembrance, liminality, and how we move through the world when we’re severed from our ancestral lands. In exploring these themes, Mishmish has collaborated with a variety of restaurants, farmers, cultural workers, and artists from around the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and beyond. Christopher Robin Duncan is a multidisciplinary artist based in Oakland, California. Duncan utilizes the sun and the moon as well as time and the tides as conceptual and compositional prompts for both sonic and visual work. In his long term sun exposure works, sunlight and the passing of time are harnessed to create images which exist in a liminal space between painting and photography. @arab.amp

Christopher Robin Duncan’s stitched textile works record the effects of the sun and moon: draping fabric over objects or architectural structures, Duncan leaves the material exposed to the sun for six months to a year. Placed and harvested on full moons, Duncan's works measure time through the lunar cycle. Sun-bleached and weathered, each piece bears impressions and fading shaped by the object or surface beneath it, resulting in unpredictable compositions. After harvesting the fabric, Duncan further develops each work, making the artist’s hand visible through stitch work, painted emblems, and the incorporation of handmade ceramics. "I see all these things – the long term sun exposures, the ceramics, half-frame photographs, cell phone pictures of the moon – as different paths to the same destination. They rest in a place where I am utilizing collected energy and indexing time in different media. This manifests in an observational sensitivity in which I delicately insert my gestures to archive or bookend moments in time. These observations are often personal, but put through the lens of the moon – become universal... These objects and/or images become quiet mile markers. The economy of time is also something I ponder – the quick, almost throwaway cellphone full moon picture printed in a large poor quality photocopy in relation to fabric that has been sun exposed for 6 full moons in relation to 35mm dark room photographs that sit in camera until developed. With all of these there’s an interplay with immediacy, patience and potential failure. I find that intriguing... I see/assign similar ideas and traits to putting fabric on a roof and waiting 6 months for the fabric to expose as I do to unloading a kiln of ceramic objects. Collectively, these efforts come together as a constellation of form, image and idea to ponder time." - Christopher Robin Duncan Works by Christopher Robin Duncan Quilted Sky (Moon), 2025 Sun, time, paint, thread and porcelain on fabric 60 x 48 inches Quilted Moon, 2026 Sun, time, paint and thread on fabric 15 x 16 inches Slide 5 image credit Billy Gomberg

doin the Chicago art circuit this past week, pt. 1: I'll begin with the stellar group exhibition @secristbeach "... before the dawn" about the mysteries of the moon and its melodies that feat. homies @christopherrobinduncan and @davidhuffmanstudio (sorry, I didn't get any pics!). beautifully complimenting this show is "Nocturnes" by @whitneybedford that melds lush romanticism with the acrid and artificial. then on to @documentspace for the curious abstractions by @alex.barth which transform awnings into mildly unsettling configurations that oddly reference the body in constricted environments.

MEDIUM: SWEATSHIRT Cruise Control Contemporary is pleased to announce MEDIUM: SWEATSHIRT, a group exhibition curated by George Chen, opening October 17, 2026. The exhibition takes the sweatshirt as its medium: a necessity, a comfort, a souvenir, a declaration of identity, and an object worn through daily life. At a moment when merchandise can function as both cultural expression and commerce, the participating artists consider what can still be made interesting within this familiar form. Each artist has been invited to create a sweatshirt as a singular work. Together, the works move between critique and participation, sincerity and CA$H GRAB. They ask what happens when an artwork can be worn, displayed, collected, and lived with. Participating artists: Sophie Appel @appleappel Dave Benzler @david.benzler Taylor Boylston @taylorboylston George Chen @georgethechen Erin Drew @museum_putty Chris Duncan @christopherrobinduncan David Horvitz @davidhorvitz Cole James @colemjamesart Chris Johanson @chrisjohansonart Emmalee Johnson-Kao @smirnoff1000 Alex Kopps @gothic_dolphins Sophia Le Fraga @badideasophia Chris Lux @chrislux Jean Nagai @jean_nagai Ben Peterson @newertopographics Stuart Pittman @steuartpittman Mikie Poland @mikiepoland Protect Me @protectme_818 Kate Rhoades @kaaaaate Savannah Rusher @sroosher Joe Sam @uncle_dad_productions Zara Schuster @zara_sarina Tara Tavi @taratavi Pedro Alejandro Verdin @iwannabeadored Liz Walsh @lizeon Collette Zighelboim @colettezighelboim Tara Zorthian @tarazorthian Opening October 17, 2026, at 6 PM Cruise Control Contemporary 1075 Main Street, Cambria, California Show brought to life by the generous help of Emma Kemp @e_e_kemp

The latest by @chicostixskateboards is here! Check out the @pawel_swanski hand screenprinted EMB decks, and t-shirts + embroidered hats. 🌠 Plus peep the new board drop with artist @christopherrobinduncan “Wolf Moon - Strawberry Moon” egg and popsicle shape available. Process: 01/13/2025 - 06/08/2025 WOLF MOON - STRAWBERRY MOON ON THE FIRST FULL MOON OF 2025- THE WOLF MOON, CHICO BRENES AND I WENT TO HIS CHILDHOOD HOME IN DALY CITY CALIFORNIA TO START OUR COLLABORATION. WE WRAPPED SEVEN OLD SKATEBOARDS, ALL DIFFERENT CHICO-STIX SHAPES THAT CHICO SKATED, IN COLORED FABRIC AND PLACED THEM IN A SPOT IN THE BACKYARD THAT GOT THE MOST SUNLIGHT.... AND LEFT. ON JUNE 6TH 2025- THE DAY OF THE STRAWBERRY MOON, WE RETURNED TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THIS VERY SIMPLE GESTURE, IN THE SIX MONTHS THAT PASSED, THE EFFECTS OF TIME AND NATURAL FORCES BECAME VISIBLE. THE SUN, WIND AND RAIN ALTERED, SHIFTED AND BLEACHED OUT THE FABRIC TO THE FOLDS AND CONTOURS OF THE USED SKATEBOARDS, THERE WAS NO PHOTO EMULSION OR CHEMICAL ACCELERANT USED INTHIS PROCESS JUST TIME PASSING AND THE ENERGY OF THE SUN. UPON HARVEST, THE FABRIC WAS WASHED AND BROUGHT INTO MY STUDIO, CUT UP, SEWN, PAINTED AND STRETCHED TO CREATE THIS SERIES, THE ENERGY, AURA AND RESIDUE OF THESE OLD SKATEBOARDS AND THE BACKYARD THEY RESTED IN FOR SIX MONTHS WERE TRANSFORMED INTO PAINTERLY SUN BLEACHED GESTURES TO CREATE COMPOSITIONS THAT HONOR AND EMBRACE TIME, PLACE, THE SUN, THE MOON AS METRIC AND THE POWER OF SKATEBOARDING THE PAST MAKES THE PRESENT.
