I have a perhaps-not-startling confession to make that the only news that I look at is a) what's on my twitter timeline b) the "LIS news and views" newsletter that one of our professors puts out, and c) ARTnews Daily. The benefit of ARTnews is they have a weekly newsletter that comes out on Wednesdays called How I Made This, which is much more interesting to me as an artist than, say, some art collector that I never heard of dying.
This week in How I Made This is the hyper-realistic colored pencil drawings of Cj Hendry. What most interested me about this article was that Cj Hendry organizes (and finances, though this part was not more detailed) her own exhibitions - her exhibition for her Rorschach show was set in an immersive white custom bouncy house - and that has me thinking about how to step further outside of the traditional gallery model when considering how to show work. I think the extra special touch for Rorschach was the little wristbands - it ties the whole exhibition together. Hyper-realism is always something that tempts me but the temptation never stays. I am too impatient, I think. When I was in undergrad I was in the Art Barn spending weeks on some pencil drawing of birds in a nest that I never finished. Now I'm absolutely beside myself if I can't get something finished in one sitting. Ah, well...
