ducks [i mean tanks] in a row
i'm in that cross off 2 add 4 things to the list stage. it might be partially because we are leaving to attend the closing of my show at the richard levy gallery .... [happens on saturday evening - if anyone can/wants to come]. any time a trip is on the agenda things get a little wacky... it might also be because i started teaching a brand new to me class today - professional practices. it's funny because i've now taught long enough at one place to have repeat students. i have a feeling a few of them in the class are none to happy to have me again [i am hard on them and demanding]. oh well. i feel as though 10 sessions in 10 weeks is not enough time to really cover what needs to happen in the class. but again. oh well.
above is one project i almost get to cross off the list [must order pins]. the next tank installation is ready to go! woo. tomorrow i pick up some very weird glue that i hope will adhere 1/16" acrylic dowels to glass. i've tried 4 other glues so far and none have worked. sigh. according to this to that loctite should work [fingers crossed]. this is what is both fun and excruciating about making art. finding the tools/supplies that will work and implementing them in ways that don't compromise your original vision.
OH! please go visit an online exhibition i curated for my very talented friend timothy buckwatler . we showed his work at a gallery i used to work at - and i think he's really a funny, smart, talented guy. [and he's selling his drawings for really reasonable prices!] the show i curated is called delusions of grandeur.
and... elsewhere in blogland.... the documentary project was on shari's blog yesterday, ash posted on ship last friday, and we introduced 3 new contributors to sew green yesterday.
i've gotta motor as i'm giving a lecture on web design to a friend's class tonight and i have to prep some material... i'm not sure what my internet access will be like over the next few days - so if i don't post - that's what's up!
here's a polaroid for the road:

Love your 'pretty' tanks all stacked up..and always love your found chairs :) xxx
enjoy the closing!
and then teaching and curating and still visiting blogs.....
how do you do it?
I can also sympathize with you on teaching the new class. I think it's nerve wracking to be teaching a class for the first time -I always feel like I'm using the students as guinea pigs:)
Good luck with everything -you've got alot going on!
Can't wait to see the tank show.
Sounds like you're insanely busy. I have been but finally some respite. I am JUST catching up with all my blog reading. I am sure that your students like that you push them. I remember being in university and really "hating" the demanding teachers but now realize that I learned the most. They are the ones whose faces I remember...
