hmmm....

so we take out our umbrellas, raincoats and rubber boots.
as we're sitting in our homes, let us send positive thoughts, our messages of comfort and concern to all those immediately affected by ike.
eric avery has his studio in downtown galveston and a btw alumni, exceptional printmaker and now instructor in galveston, bobbie weiss and his family .. just two that immediately come to mind that hopefully are out of the area.
mother nature makes herself known again. what an archetypal image this could make.....
check out janine antoni's section on art 21. really focus on her comments on materials and their effect on art creation... she is the art connection/bridge to the installation at the dma. remember they are featuring her lather/chocolate self portrait busts and videos.
all of you need to be thinking about what you are planning on saying in your video segment.
your statement should have been influenced by ms antoni's concepts specifically dealing with material usage. again i suggest you start dialoguing and fine tuning your thoughts and statements.
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CREATION OF YOUR IMAGERY!
CRITIQUE DATE>>> OCTOBER 1st and 2nd.
1 plate and 3 good prints.
students that began this project last year must have two plates (3 prints each plate)
QUESTION: how many of you want to have another message in a bottle exhibition and sale at the trammell crow again in the spring, making it an annual event? we could start the tradition of also including alumni in the exhibition. it could be a way of staying in touch. let me know.
