The magnet show is on a floating pier in the river Elbe which contains a ship welcome system. At the weekend bigger vessels from all over the world which pass (because they go to the port of Hamburg or come from there) are greeted by the loudspeaker. The speaker also gives information about the vessel like the length and weight of the ship and how many containers they can carry. Then the national anthem of the ship's home country is played. It's a tourist attraction.”

39.  Sunnyvale CA USA – Posted January 26^th, 2024 – Curated by Carmela Rizzuto – Notes – Traffic poles at intersections, are the best place for magnet shows.

40.  2501 Lewisville Clemmons Rd, Clemmons, North Carolina 27012 USA – Posted January 30^th, 2024 – Notes – For some reason their cart returns have flower boxes around them. I was waiting for Goodwill to open to I put one up.

41.  Salisbury Rd. Mocksville NC USA – Posted January 30^th, 2024 – Notes – I liked the colors on the front of the carwash. Since 1952. In the background was a nice collection of visually impressive junk. I had to wait for a guy to make change beside of me before I could put all the magnets up. He looked at me funny when he saw what I was doing.

42.  New York City NY USA – Posted February 3^rd, 2024 – Curated by Joel Cohen – Notes – I sent Joel two different shows. The images he emailed gave no context to where they were located. It was almost surreal.

43.  Stairwell P of City of Oakland Parking Deck CA USA – Posted February 6^th, 2024 – Curated by Joey Patrickt with Assistance by Leslie Caldera – Notes – My favorite show by far, mainly because of Leslie’s head peeking through the window of the parking deck door.

45.  77 Box Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222 – Posted February 10^th, 2024 – Notes – Stuck to a stop sign advertising the shooting schedule for the TV show Blue Bloods. Any place where Tom Selleck stood is a fine place for a magnet show.

46.  951 Silas Creek Pkwy, Winston-Salem, NC 27127 USA – Posted February 16^th, 2024 – Notes – I stuck this show to a blue post box simply because I drive by it every single day. I can see, without getting out of my car, if anyone has taken the magnets.

47.  Main St and 18th in Vancouver, Canada – Posted February 16^th, 2024 – Curated by Alison Keenan – Notes – Surprisingly, the magnets I sent were not put up for this show. Instead, and this is the first time this has ever happened, the curator replaced my magnets with their own creations.

49.  Middle of the Strait of Georgia between Victoria and Vancouver, BC, Canada. – Posted February 19^th, 2024 – Curated by Allan Revich – Notes – I think this show was on a ferry?

51.   Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas Nevada USA – Posted March 6^th, 2024 – Curated by Dillon Lambert, Eli Lambert, and Debbie Foster – Notes – My mom took my nephews to Las Vegas. I’m pretty sure they were drunk when my nephew sent the video in the middle of the day.

55.  Tanglewood Park 4061 Clemmons Rd, Clemmons, North Carolina 27012 USA – Posted May 1^st, 2024 – Curated by Will Parham – Notes – Will called his magnet show “choo-choo,” I guess because he posted it on an infamous train inside the park.

56.  414 Deacon Blvd, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 USA – Posted May 3^rd, 2024 – Notes – I was almost positive a metal folding chair was magnetic.

57.  2050 Chapel Hill Rd, Durham, North Carolina 27707 USA – Posted May 7^th, 2024 – Notes – I posted it on a trailer with the aspirational words “People Over Profit” painted on them.

58.  207 West Sixth Street, Winston Salem, North Carolina 27107 USA – Posted May 13^th, 2024 – Notes – Nothing like a grouping of four unused weekly newspaper boxes to stick a magnet show to.

59.  Ft. Moore, Georgia USA – Posted May 15^th, 2024 – Curated by Jac Perk – Notes - Nothing like a magnet show in a broken-down children’s playground to really capitalize on creepiness.

60.  Fort Fisher, North Carolina, USA – Posted May 30^th, 2024 – Notes – When Miles and I got back from our two-hour hang, Misty commented on the amount of sand in his shoes.

61.  McLeod and First in Downtown Livermore, California USA – Posted June 3^rd, 2024 – Curated by LuEllen Joy Miller-Giera – Notes – LuEllen says in her video, “I sent you a picture of a sign for a rodeo.” Magnet shows near rodeos are always a good idea.

62.  E. Trade Street, Charlote North Carolina USA – Posted June 7^th, 2024 – Notes – The last time I was in this area things were open. This time the whole area was full of creepy characters waiting to get on a bus.

63.  1642 SC-160, Fort Mill, South Carolina USA – Posted June 9^th, 2024 – Notes – Finding myself with a few minutes at the gras station, cleaning out trash, and airing out the travel farts, I decided to put a magnet show on one of the pumps.

64.  Castellon, Spain – Posted June 11^th, 2024 – Curated by Juan Petry – Notes – The first international show where I think a language barrier created a little frustration. Only the second show to capture someone looking at the magnets.

65.  2372 St. Claude Avenue New Orleans, Louisiana 70117 – Posted June 13^th, 2024 – Curated by LuEllen Joy Miller-Giera – Notes – Seeing my little collage pieces on the side of a New Orleans café, made me calculate how long it’s been since I’ve walked that city.

66.  Calle del Doctor Fourquet- Between 30 and 32, Madrid, Spain – Posted June 16^th, 2024 – Curated by Laura Hortal – Notes - This is the only international show with full sized collages. I dropped this one off at Laura’s house and she took it all the way to Spain with her.

67.  2220 Thomasville Rd. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 USA – Posted June 17^th, 2024 – Notes – I stuck this magnet show on the outside toilets…that’s right, outside toilets.

68.  204 W. Acadia Ave, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27127 USA – Posted June 24th, 2024 – Notes – I stuck the show to their mailbox. When I was putting them up, a couple of the magnets fell and broke.

70.  Gaston Avenue, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27103 USA – Posted July 2^nd, 2024 – Notes – I put this one on the top of a little library. I felt like I was combing two projects, the magnet project and how I get rid of most of my framed collages and assemblage pieces.
