jo russ arts journal

This journal is a documentation of art and cultural events I have experienced while living in New Zealand and Las Vegas, Nevada, and on my travels. I particularly enjoy sharing alternative culture which doesn't always get a lot of media coverage.

Chinese New Year on Fremont St




The Fremont St Experience was a great place to celebrate Chinese New Year - the crowd often rivals the performers for entertainment value. Dragons of course, were everywhere, including a giant snaking version on the overhead VivaVision screen.

About Me

My Photo
I was born in Motueka, Aotearoa (New Zealand) and worked in publishing, layout and computer graphics before acquiring a BVA from Manukau School of Visual Arts in Auckland. As an artist, I work in the mediums of photography, painting, collage and performance art. I have also co-curated four group exhibitions: 'Sexhibition' in 2007, 'Prologue' in 2006, and 'Boganville' and 'Unleashing the Bogan' in 2002. In 2009 I received a Creative Communities grant to put together a photography exhibition 'I go where the party takes me' which toured Thermostat Art Gallery in Palmerston North, the Wallace Trust Gallery in Auckland, and the Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui. In July 2010, Matt and I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and established Couper Russ Studios LLC.
