My First Art Show and Art Symposium

A:"What's your Major?"

B: "Art History."

A:" But do you ever make art?"

B:"I think about making artwork, but i don't really make it."

This is a variation of many conversations I have when I meet someone for the first time at BYU. But recently I actually made one of the works that I spent time just thinking about. (Really its two works). After completing it I submitted it to an art show. Now, I did not know the show that I applied to was pretty competitive, but it was. I know of 5 professors that applied, only 2 of them got in. Needless to say, both of my works got in. That's right, my works got in. I don't have images of the work installed but I will post them as soon as I do.

The Second big event for me this weekend was I spoke at an Art History Symposium on Mass Media at UVU. I had twenty minutes to read my paper on "Questioning New Curatorial Practices of Net.Art". After the event I spoke with the professor that organized the event and she asked me if I'd be willing to talk to her class about Contemporary Art. The event was a lot of fun and it was a great opportunity for me.
