Installation art?

Everyone showed up.

Go check it out before it's gone! It's only up until the 25th!

New work

Katie plays curator

I started a monthly artist installation project back in March at The Art Shop. It's a window installation space where an alumna installs her work as she sees fit. It is supposed to bring exposure to young alumnae and also to expose work that is less 'commercial' to the public of the Art Shop. I also have the opportunity to act as a curator, and invite the artists to show, discuss their individual project, and see the installation to fruition.

The next window installation opens this Monday, September 8th, with a reception from 5-7 pm.

Dear Gilles and Felix
an symbiotic installation by Terri Saulin
September 8-31, 2008

Terri is installing her work today. The Art Shop is a mess of lustrous white ceramic and vine-like plants! Since there is a late summer storm today, it seems like the Art Shop is a little warm nest.

Day One

Life after art school. Unpredictable, enlightening, amazing.

The urge to keep making exists for those who had the independent drive to make art in the first place.

It has now been 16 months since I graduated art school. New work has been in ten exhibitions since May 2007...It's a good start.
