trying to get to 16 part 2

I'm going to start applying for scholarship/grant opportunities before the new semester, and in one of them I would have to do a space lab show and present my work at a conference if I got in.

I'm looking forward to the space lab show and have already started working on the project. I plan to use some ceramic pieces along side crafting and painting.
I've been looking at graduate students work and letters to get a sense of whats going to be expected of me. Even if I don't get the grant I'm going to try and do the space lab show anyways.

that's it
This is a commission piece that I made for my friend. completely unrelated.

week 10- Alfred

Image
While we were in NY my coworker went upstate to Alfred and had the opportunity to look around and speak to some of the professors there. Because of scheduling conflicts I did not get the same opportunities, but I'm very proud of him, as he was offered a spot when he's ready to apply to Grad school. I insisted that he take photos for me and give me the lowdown on everything, which he has yet to do so I'll be posting more about his little adventure later, but for right now I have some interesting pictures. I think these pieces are really helpful and inspiring for our next project as I am considering imagery and possibly working on the wheel.

Performance Art

My last night in New York I went with my friend to a performance art gallery to watch as she documented the artist. The space was rather small, but felt more comfortable than other local galleries I had been to- it felt more like my kind of people. I planned to be only part of the audience and only for a short while as we were only there to document one person performing. But the moment I walk in I am pulled from my coat and told that I'm going to be an actress. I was given my lines 10 minutes before going on and was very overwhelmed. Another woman came up to me and tied herself to me using a bungee cord- the reason for this, I do not know. The piece used almost everyone in the room and focused on trauma, rape, and harassment. There was a lot of screaming a lot of emotion and afterwards a lot of crying. This first performance was then followed by a black Man with a God complex telling everyone that he was the "Blackest n*^%$ in the room" and personally I would like to s...

Met & MoMA

While I was gone, My goal was to go to the Met and MoMa- which proved successful. While the art in these galleries are not my favorite, I think it's really important to go to see the history and see the evolution of art through the years, and it really just reinforces everything that I've learned in all of my Art History classes. Walking through both (especially the Met) I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of it all. I got lost a number of times and couldn't even remember what floor I had seen and what I hadn't. \ I was very fortunate to see long time classics and might have almost cried at the sight of Starry Night , but it was taken away by the amount of people clustered around it. My only regret was not going to see MoMAPS1 while I was there, as they currently have a piece on temporary stay that I'm incredibly interested in. I'm considering living there over the summer so hopefully it's still up and I can see it then. ...
