Tobey Albright + Claire Michelsen + Kim Ye + The Father Land
Originally titled, "The Reborning Of The Contemporary Artist," the baby, occasionally referred to as "the reborn artist," or just "baby," has taken on a life of his own. Made in the image of his maker, "the baby" was intended to be a mini-narrative that would clearly trigger an improvisational situation where the performative ties of all its references and associations were apparent and the space that the baby would inhabit (between people and the event that held them) would be full of awkward potential.

The site-specific performance titled "Attacking Grandma Is Fun For Everyone As Long As Everyone Plays Nice," was an improvisational interpretation of rebelling against the limitations of being young and powerless.

This site-specific installation was created on October 4th and 5th, 2010, in the living room of Maude McCain. The baby's "reflecting space" was created with the assistance of Maude McCain's hooked rug 'beach scene,' propped up by a soft green pillow made in hard times.

The site-specific performance titled "Was machen wir?!" took place over the period of ten minutes, during which the artist, Tobey Albright, attempted to make a deep connection with the artist reborn by using common methods of memetic behavior. Towards the end of the performance, the artist and the reborn artist were nearly indistinguishable.

Tobey Albright + Christopher Roeleveld + The Baby
Do you like this, baby? I actually made it for your Uncle Chris after he posted an image of an albino dear someone had photographed in Wisconsin. The picture made me think of ghosts, being possessed, appropriation, the color green and whether or not any of that is relevant anymore. I wondered so hard that I never really finished the drawing and now I think I'll just let your generation decide.

Tobey Albright + Tobey Albright
After the monkey proclaimed that he'd figured out a new way to eat a banana, one monkey was overheard whispering to another monkey that he thought he had seen a banana eaten like that before. At that moment, the monkey who had discovered the new way of eating the banana retorted, "It's not about how the banana looks, it's about how the banana feels in the mouth of the eater."

The two monkeys made their pact for loving memory. Like all the other monkeys in the jungle they had decided on their quote to repeat to themselves and all the other monkeys and it read like this: 'You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.' - Jean Jacques Rousseau

Tobey Albright + Claire Michelsen
She was laughing hysterically from the couch. After being asked what she had found that was so funny, she attempted to tell the joke of the man who had a conversation with his hamster. The joke was something to the effect of the man telling the hamster that they could never have any nice things together because the hamster was so naturally destructive that everything nice would quickly lose that quality. She kept laughing hysterically.

Tobey Albright + Father
The figurine (souvenir) for the new David was made after the artist's decision to reverse the production process of the new monument. Instead of starting with a drawing and then a maquette, an actual full scale bronze and finally a tiny figurine (souvenir), the process started with a tiny figurine (souvenir) and drawing, and will include a full scale bronze and finally a maquette. The artist felt that this process reversal would assist in channeling the spirit of the 16th Century version more effectively through the historical dynamic of the present.

Tobey Albright + Stacy Sternberg (and potentially the United States Postal Service)
After being invited to participate in the first curatorial project by Stacy Sternberg, a commemorative stamp was created to honor Sternberg's new role as 'artist and curator.' It was the artist's intention to recognize the integrity of Sternberg's project. Eventually, he plans to issue the stamp in collaboration with the United States Postal Service.

The Visionaries was a series of large road-side cutouts, depicting various visionaries of Sarasota. Instead of being located in the center of town, the painted cutouts would line the perimeter of the city, as though they were precursors of what was to come.

The Ann Wing of the Tate would hold rotating exhibitions of a collection of work that her students had produced, throughout her career.Thus the sponsorship would be in the name of the educator and not the another wealthy patron, as the patronage of a brilliant teacher has much more effect.

The Sculpture of Brandon Whitcomb was installed in a corn field, outside of Macomb, Illinois. The sculpture was made of bronze and stood life size. The location was rather secluded, and when the corn grew up in the summer, became rather difficult to find. [Identical sculpture located in Ruebens room at The Ringling Museum in Sarasota.]

The massive drawings will be made of hundreds of layers of homage with large smiley-font phrases on top. Their awkward truths will be met with critical distance because they act as reminders of careful art and its haunting role in the 21st Century.
