First, the Labor:
Have you ever built shelving? It is exhausting, I recommend hiring someone else to do it. I built 5 sets of shelves today. One really heavy 109 pounder, and four lighter wire frame jobs.
Besides the labor, here is some exciting stuff:
Diana Cooper has an article about her in the upcoming Art in America, and the Architects Paper. Pretty cool stuff, because that was the show I interned on. Diana Cooper is a really exciting artist who makes super awesome sculptural installations that are like gigantic colorful drawings. I think her work is the best. She has a show up right now, Overdrive, at Postmasters.
I am making a new painting too, I fell back on some of the ways I used to make a painting before I went to grad school, and I think it might work out well for me, because frankly my acrylic painting has not been doing it for me, it has to happen so fast, and I am a chronic daydreamer, so I am using oil on this one.
There are also some rumors about Paintallica heading off to the WEST COAST??!!! (Paintallica is a performance and installation group founded by Dan Attoe, Jamie Boling, ME, Jesse Albrecht, Cece Cole, Greta Songe, Brandon Buckner, and other folks who happened to be there for the chaos!)
