Some panels are fantastic and some are not. If you go to the conference, I would try to do something like the portfolio review -- take advantage of being there. The panels are probably the most informative aspect of the conference if you hit the b...
I guess I should have been more specific in my questioning. I have already looked at the offered lectures and events. Anything can look good on paper. I am hoping to hear from those of you who have attended one of the conferences as to what your e...
Look at the conference program and local art listings to determine if the trip is worth the cost. BTW social networking (a.k.a seeing old artist friends f2f) can be very good for your health and can help you keep motivated to work. so don't undere...

Normally, I teach between 4-6 studio classes a semester and don't have time for anything else. In the spring I plan on taking three classes, which I have organized into Monday/Wednesday time slots. Tuesday/Thursdays can become ...

- Hey Mary Pat -- many residencies are welcoming to newly minted MFA graduates. Your paintings are great -- you should definitely apply with what you have!
I didn't get a copy of my interview with Ms. Tran and I kind of hope it's not floating around there. I believe I was squirming around and looking uncomfortable.

Elizabeth Snipes said… - Here it is Mary Pat! and i posted some others in progress. . . including ANOTHER SCARY BABY! yay!

I know that it's yours and brian's honeymoon and all, but I'm thinking about just jumpin in your suitcase before you leave. . . I'd love to see me some Mayan temples too! Ha! That's fun to say. . . "temples toooooo!".
any comments on the work (good, bad, or ugly) are totally welcome. I want you to see the big one too, but it looks too weird now.

Charlie Humphries said… - Mary Pat, I have those paintings from the closet. I got them this morning, it just seemed wrong for them to be in a closet. I know Elizabeth is still in town, just let her know I have them so I can get them to her. My email is chumphr@clemson.edu . Good seeing you back in Clemson.

- About Me:
- Things I have been doing in the last couple of years:
Lately, I spend much more time teaching than I do painting. This really bothers me, and I am going to try evening out the playing field a little more.
I am adjunct professor for Drawing I, 2D Foundations (B/W), Painting I, and Art Appreciation Lecture at Lipscomb University and Printmaking I, Drawing I and III, 2D Foundations (Color Theory), Painting III and IV at Belmont University.
Random things with the Frist Center for Visual Arts:
1) was recorded in dialogue with curator Mark Scala for a podcast that will be played on museum headphones (in conjunction with the Chuck Close exhibition)
2) exhibiting some of my student work on their walls
3) In August, I will be giving two printmaking workshops
I like to read a lot, and even write a little. I have just bought a great issue (#84) of Adbusters: Journal of the Mental Environment. It covers "Pop Nihilism: Advertising Eating Itself" and "The Spirit of Revolt" as its key themes. Please drop me any names of things I should read.
I am also volunteering at a place called "Saddle Up!," which is an organization dedicated to teaching kids with disabilities how to ride horses. It is probably the most amazing part of my life right now. Everyone is passionate about the work they are doing there, and I find the quiet of the farm and the physicality of the horses really settling. It makes it easier to paint.
Brian and I like to take advantage of all the cheap/free events that are available in Nashville, and then spend our money on really good fish, olives, and cheese at Whole Foods. Surprisingly, there is always something cultural and interesting to do around here, but it is still not "home." I am not impressed with the gallery scene either. We're thinking of trying out Chicago in the next year or two.

- Master of Fine Arts

I think that this is a great comment on a huge chunk of contemporary art
Contemporary art is all about the sublime, it’s about the failure of representation – what can’t be represented. The notion of the sublime is about pointing to that absence. Making the viewer feel what they cannot perceive, feel the limit of perception.

Thu Tran - Food Party
Food as Medium: Cooking Up Visual Delights with Artist Thu Tran
10:36 am Monday Jun 8, 2009
by Ali Gitlow
Mixed media artist Thu Tran is truly a Martha Stewart for the 21st century (not to dis Martha, but the prototype’s in dire need of an update). Like Pee-wee Herman before her, the pint-sized hostess of Food Party — a whacked out hybrid cooking/puppetry show premiering on IFC tomorrow night at 11:15 p.m. — orbits an über-eccentric fantasy land. Past web episodes have found Tran crafting a Che… Continue

I can't come to any of the First Friday stuff, nor be present at my own studio because I'm going to Jenny and Courtney's reception out here at school. They're my peps! I wouldn't miss it for the world. Can't be in two places at once, though I've t...
