New Guest Blogger...

Greetings fellow bloggers. Nice work on your first posts... If you haven't yet finished this assignment, no worries, but I will be looking forward to reading them all by Tuesday morning. There's still time to go see some local art/design and write an interesting review of it on our blog.  There's so much new work to see in our own backyard right now...if it's CVA faculty work you're looking for, next week is your last chance to see both the Hang up and Shoot Photo Biennial at Concordia College (featuring FND faculty Michelle McCreery and another unnamed artist ...) as well as work by Fine Arts Chair Val Jenkins in Ordinarily Here at the Weisman Art Museum, an exhibition that explores how place can re-contextualize objects found in common experience (think- postmodern strategy...)  If you find yourself in Duluth this weekend, Drawing faculty Amy DiGennaro's work is featured in You and Yours: Images of Family at the Tweed Museum, and you won't want to miss the Hatch Design; Thinking Outside the Nest exhibition in our very own CVA Gallery.  
We will be carpooling to Midway Contemporary Art next week to tour Los Angeles-based artist and curator Karthik Pandian's installation Before the Sun.  Be sure to check out information about his installation (and the film series he's curating in conjunction with the exhibition) before we go so you can approach the installation and your 2nd Blog Post assignment with a little research under your belt.  And don't forget to bring your Visual Resources Archives to class so we can take a look at all your wonderful journals before we go.
So have a great weekend, see plenty of art, and remember to read Barrett Ch. 3 Describing Art!
cheers...
