Juggling time

I have been busy. I stopped by the Tweed to look at their exhibit but was unable to get to the artist talk. I also went to the cities a week ago Sunday and went through the Walker Art Center. For those of you who are not familiar with the area, that meant a 3.5 hour drive one way to the Walker, so it was a big time commitment. I want to go the Minneapolis Institute of Arts but had papers to do so am putting it off for a couple of weeks.

The Walker has a broad collection exhibited, from Merce Cunningham, KiKi Smith, Frank Gaard, "Absentee Landloard" curated by John Waters, and an interesting video of San Francisco by the Bay. It had plenty in the exhibits that created a line of synergy from the ICA in Boston visit I had. I only wish admission was free and get anything else done in life (it is Thurs nights and 1st Sat if you live there - which I don't and it's hard to get there often). I did use my student id but it was still $6 plus $4 for parking along with the $65 for gas and lets not talk about lunch..... I haven't visited the Walker since they remodeled. I use to love going there for the Thurs admission and viewing all sorts of new screenings. I did not have enough time to get out to the Sculpture Garden as it was getting dark when I finished inside and I still had the drive back home.

I also spent a lot of time this week in the darkroom and the editing room. I don't know if I'm going to use the film piece that I'm working on as it seems not quite ready for prime time viewing (I don't know if it'll be one of those "early" ones you throw away) but I've been very busy working out ideas and creating new images.

Also this week I put together a proposal for the Group 1 (soon to be Group 2 hopefully) AIB students to exhibit for a NYC gallery. It was a lot of work but I find it helps me focus and contexualize my work and spurs me on.

So off to get busy. Just thought I'd check in and see how things are going with you. to revisit often
