d.r.i. -- public art activities

In a possibly belated effort to construct something ostensibly resembling an art carerer, I'm here inscribing a semi-conventional resume-record of my public art activities.

This doesn't include my arts-journalism of the 1980s (nor video documentation & experimenttatation of the past decade that has yet to see official light of day; etc.) It covers such art shows, performances, and poetry publications as I recall. (In the present version, I'm not including online publications, only print.)
