Inventory
So far I have two paintings complete-that's 50% of the four that I intended for this studio project
I have one edit that I think is close to success but I also have 5 different versions-so I plan to make these into 3 more edits, so I have 75% more to finish quick.
I also need to put together my portfolio-I have 50% left to do as I have documented half of the work

Goals for next week-that includes tuesday and thursday

For next week-I have to finish four fucking 3x4 paintings pronto! These paintings will be shot on Wednesday by Hailey and photo students in the lighting studio so they will be professionally photographed, thanks to them. I will then have the remaining two-3 weeks to organize these images and send them out for applications to calls for entries, internships, grad schools, residencies, and studio programs!! For this class I need to figure out the best format to show how the paintings and the video footage is supposed to be documented together. Also, on wednesday I need to get measurements in the upper gallery so I can start building a pedestal. In addition, I have to reshoot some footage over next weekend (because that is the next time my model is available) and edit down all of the footage I have gathered along the way for senior studio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meeting with Marina:Chief Curator of the Brooks

I had my meeting with Marina Paccini, chief curator at the Brooks Museum and I had a brief chance to interview her on her expertise. It occurred to somewhat after-the-fact, that I had to know alot of art history if I were to pursue curatorial studies. This does not sound that great to me-not because I dont care but because I am more interested in handling the work itself and putting things together, not looking through catalogues and thinking about audience development. Anyway, Marina advised me to pursue higher education if I wanted to work in a museum-which means getting a PhD would be preferable. Regardless, if I am handling contemporary work or historical work, I need to know enough about how and why the art fits together. I applied for the internship position though. I was also told to see if I can get a couple of shows curated here around town for my own experience.
