This weekend Chad is in Dallas, Texas for "Sprawl," the 46th SPE National Conference
The exciting part of this years conference is he is speaking and presenting with his colleagues on their collaborative art project the Phoenix Transect.
The action takes place today, Friday, March 27 at 2:00 - 3:45 pm (12:00 - 1:45 pm Pacific Time)
Phoenix Transect is a collaborative art project that chronicles growth and change in Phoenix, one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas. Executed under the auspices of a class led by Mark Klett at Arizona State University, the project mixes faculty, undergraduate, MFA and Ph.D. students from arts, sciences, and humanities programs. The project stresses collaborative fieldwork rather than individual efforts, with all participants determining the work's direction. The project demands professional work practices with the goal of creating exhibitable and publishable products. Phoenix Transect maintains an active website and a photographic archive.

His work has been exhibited and published for over 25 years. Klett is Regents' Professor of Art at Arizona State University.
