A few months back I participated in the Hyde Park Art Center's Open Crit program (read about my experience here) and last Sunday an article came out in the Chicago Tribune written by Chicago art critic Lori Waxman about the program. I get mentioned in a couple of places and had a "movie moment" on Monday. You know what I'm talking about- when you have an experience just like in a movie? I recently saw "Julie and Julia" and there's a scene where Julie, the young woman blogging her way through Julia Child's cookbook, gets an article written about her project. The day it comes out she's on the train and sees people reading the article about her on the train. Anyway, I was on the train heading to work on Monday and glanced up from my book at one point to see the man in front of me reading the article- with my name in it! I'm practically famous!
Tonight there is another Open Crit which I will be attending, but this time as part of the public critiquing the artists. I really enjoy the opportunity to critically discuss artwork, meet artists and to disagree with people. (The program is from 6-8pm at the Hyde Park Art Center and details can be found on their website)
I am continuing to prepare for my show at Fermilab. I bring the work out on Monday- I have to rent a U-haul to transport my large pieces. Orginally I thought I would only show portraits but at the time I had no idea how large the space is. Apparently it's huge so to fill it I'm bringing a lot of work. It will be really great to see so much of it up in one space.
