I bumped into Chris Bratton around 12:45 on Monday before heading over to Leonardo, and it was really great to see him, I think he’s making moves in the right direction. A very affable guy. It’s be so sunny this week too, so the rooftop at 800 Chestnut was amazing.
In other news, I have been researching the Busan biennial, looking into teaching in Rome for Cornell in Rome this spring, and trying to keep up with my Spanish garden (using the language every day)

After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001.
In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.
Mr. Ippel resides in Working Artists Ventura, a sustainable artist community in southern California. In addition, he teaches art, is a web developer, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time.
As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges.
