The Barn Painting Project (1999-2003): With twenty other artists from New York and Japan, known collectively as the Barnstormers, painted a series of murals on old tobacco barns in rural North Carolina. Wee have made timelapse films, installations, a huge installation of painted speakers, and other large painting collaborations. The Barnstormers have been featured in several publications including The Fader, Elemental, Mass Appeal, Jane, and Flash Art, as well as NPR’s Morning Edition in October 2001.

Working People (2002): Organized a Barnstormers project in Binghamton, NY for 15 artists to paint collaboratively on three sides of a 40,000-square-foot warehouse.  Wrote contract with donors and obtained funds and gifts in-kind from local businesses.

Subject of the documentary film “Chuck Makes a Woodcut,” produced and directed by Joe Caterini and Michael Houston and featured at the Florida International Film Festival (2001), the Antimatter Festival (Vancouver, BC 2001), the West Coat Nomad Film Festival (2002), and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (2003).
